Fan Boy

Little blurb from Collaros.
 

My brother.  He used to post here and on OB as Taynted Fayth.  He passed away a few days ago and I'm using his old profile picture.

-30C out
-@$!#ing trash weather
-Had to get up early and work late
- Collaros re-signed
Overall, pretty good day

I swear they put something in the water over there that kills brain cells. Its the only explanation. So its asinine to pay the reigning MVP QB who has won back to back championships and comprised a 17-2 record $38K more than a bible salesman turned QB who has the same amount of Grey Cup championships as me?!?! Its truly hard to wrap your head around how brain dead Rider fans are.

Chris Jones needs a db.

well isn't that convenient.... he's in Texas during 2 months of -30... only to return once the weather starts to turn 😂

Hopefully against the Nice Trycats

I guess I was ahead of my time. I never cheered for the green team. Although I hated the Edmonton green team even more. How could they have a high school kid kicking punts? Not fair at all. (timeline is a bit off here but there has been a lot of beer and stuff between that time and now)

Is that a new counting stat?  Under 10 yards passes?  6/10 in Fajardos in today's game?

I thought for a long time that BLM would end up in Toronto. I'm not sure now given that Dickenson didn't make a change when it was clear that BLM could only throw Fajardos during the season. 

This reminds me of one bomber home game a coworker of my wife asked to park in our driveway to walk to a banjo bowl. I was happy to help someone enjoy a beatdown of the riders. 
Then they showed up in green jerseys. OMG what are the neighbours going to think. I noticed they didn't stop by to chat after the game. Ha I love banjo bowls (mainly).

You mean a barrel from the honey wagon.
(I grew up half an hour from Saskachewan border so I heard about those things.) 
 

Well said.

I think the myth of Gabriel plays a lot into it. He was “the guy” in the league at that point, best player, Canadian to boot. Everyone in the entire stadium knew the pass was going to go to him and only him before the snap, it was the only chance Ottawa had to pull the game out, and there he is wide open beating a certain double or triple coverage. Imagine if in 2007 Dinwiddie’s final INT is instead a pass over the top to Stegall who gets behind cover to win the game in the final 20 seconds. A legendary finish by a legendary player, even if the play itself looks routine, the timing of it makes it special. That’s what I always remember hearing about that play from those who anoint it as great. Another example is Paul Henderson. Really a garbage goal from a stylistic perspective, but an all-time great moment in sports history. 

Fajardo is a better fit than Collaros in that it helps us.

I think it was the part about Saskatchewan losing on the last play (was it? memory foggy). I was in high school at the time and even non football fans talked about it the next day.
But yes it was just an over the shoulder catch. You have to remember back in the day we couldn't afford one those flashy directed tip ball plays we had run of the mill plays and we liked it.

Do you mean the play where the nose of the football touching the ground knocked him out cold?

Thank you Bombers for giving me another thrilling year to enjoy and thank you Morning Big Blue for giving me a place to share anguish and joy.  Can't wait for 2022 to start.
