Skeeters will be out in a week or so once it warms up. We got 5 inches of rain here in Calgary over a 3 day period 2 weekends ago. Stavely, AB got 10 inches of rain, though.

The Airline Thread
The guy was obviously qualified (although not authorized) to fly as a Captain. He never crashed a plane during his career & was trained on 3 different Boeing aircraft. He may have circumvented but he appears to have had a spotless 17 year career. Judging by the number of grim looking officials at that news conference, it looks like they're planning on nailing him to the wall with a long jail sentence trying to make an example of him which to me is a waste of time. I don't condone what he did but I think based on his safety record a large financial penalty in the area of $150,000 is the way to punish him. After all, he earned over $3 million in his career so I think that is appropriate. Not jail time. What I'd like to know is why he did what he did. He obviously had the skills to fly & be a Captain. So, why did he fake it?

Cats at Bombers GDT
Hopefully the game sells out even if it rains. Looking forward to watching in my living room warm & dry in Calgary.

Chevy keeps insisting this is how you build a team through the draft. We'll see if he snoozes thru this one as well.

I like the Loon. But I can't vote.

I'll be in for the Banjo Bowl after missing last season due to a family conflict on that date.

2026 Bombers Season
Please. That's not even a bit funny.

Lock of the Week 2026: 2
Do I have zero or 1 strike? I don't see my name. This time I know Tommy Stevens is playing so I'll go with him.

If both parties want to make a deal then the Jets trade up.

Bombers at Stamps GDT
The Grey Cup this season is on November 15th in Calgary. Next year it will be a week earlier.

Bombers at Stamps GDT
Midpoint of November will mean a week after the GC is played. Cold weather isn't really an issue. I still say that fans will sit in cold or bad weather if there is something on thre line late in the season. They sure won't early when there are still 17 games left.

SNF - Elks at RBs
Not saying he's the answer but losing wasn't all on him. The RedBlacks look just as bad as they always have. That secondary was awful.

3 stars and hh 2001 revenge
The season starts with four games left? Okay but you realize some teams have two byes in Sptember & October... The playoff change is dumb as a sack of hammers. Winning is too easy??? Johnson should suit up & try it.

Bombers at Stamps GDT
Same here. You just have to grow up in the West to know spring sucks. When was the last time it was as cold as the 1991 Grey Cup in November in Winnipeg? The temp on kickoff that day was minus 18 & the windchill was close to minus 30-35. With climate change temps like that aren't as prevalent as decades past. Not to say that we won't ever be as cold as that again but it will be the exception & not the rule.

2026 Bombers Season
That's the Bombers in the 1930's running the Single Wing offense with the "Spinner" handing off the ball. He's now called a qb. Pretty explanatory as to why he was called that. That's kind of a sloppy spin. I've seen better on these classic videos from that era but it still worked.

Not anymore when the season starts in May. James was a beast like Oliveira. Never was fully appreciated by Bud Grant. They didn't get along.

SNF - Elks at RBs
I've said it in the past, I'll say it again. Dru Brown exudes leadership like a turtle sunning himself on a rock. It just ain't there. I think that is part of the problem with the guy & Dinwiddie sees that. The RedBlacks would be better to swing a trade with the Argos for Arbuckle. Dinwiddie knows & trusts him. I don't think Maier was the whole problem yesterday. That team has a lot of holes to fill.

Bombers at Stamps GDT
How can you say that, really? Diedrick Mills may be the second best pure running back behind Brady. (Elks Justin Rankin is more of an all urpose back than Mills or Brady). If teams can't stop the Stamps run game, what makes you think we can stop them? They work on it as hard as we do offensively. Especially first game of the season when players are still trying to remember their teammates names? If Mills stays healthy, he'll be a 1200-1400 yard rusher like Oliveira. We won yet you sound unhappy & so damned impatient.
