Happy Honker to Sara Orlesky for standing on that sideline freezing all game, including doing the post game interviews in that wind chill, AND THEN heading over to the arena to work the Jets game. They grow em pretty tough in Winnipeg....lol...

I agree. Especially in those kinds of conditions when the ball is a frozen slippery brick to begin with. When Bailey caught that ball I was yelling at my screen "GO DOWN!!" because I could see the same thing happening to Bailey as happened to Woli, and sure enough, in comes number zero on the Riders and punches out the ball. If you have first down, just go down on first contact, don't let the second man come in and punch out the ball.

They are also saying that CoFaj outplayed Collaros. Yup, CoFaj was on fire yesterday all right...🙄

yeah I can see that it would have been a giant pain to get your phones out in that weather, no worries. I don't think it would matter if Bomber fans had video of Duke trying to stick a shiv into Alexander on the sidelines, the CFL wouldn't do anything anyway. Onward and upward! Cup #12 time!

yes, I'm glad the Bombers survived that disgusting missed call. There might have been rioting in the streets otherwise.

yes there was.

I realize that it was freezing but do you think anyone had the wherewithal to haul out their phone and get some video?

I re-watched the last few minutes of the first half. BA hits Faj as he is sliding, and the Riders aren't happy about it. Next possession with 9 seconds left I saw Duke holding BA's head and talking into his ear hole. Then when the half is over, you see Faj and a bunch of Riders suddenly start running towards something, but there is no real explanation as to what is going on, as they cut to Duthie and Barker in the end zone. So we really had no idea what was going on for those watching on TV.

Why would they target Alexander?

he just doesn't want to get smoked by Brandon Alexander anymore....lol

Twenty minutes from now...lol...

yeah after the game Zach was being interviewed by Sara and despite his teeth chattering and totally shivering he was able to get out a few sentences and he referenced the "dirty tactics" of the Riders in the first half that made the Bombers lose their cool a bit.

I saw Zach reference the "dirty tactics" as well of the Riders - can someone elaborate? I must have missed it. Or Glen Suitor didn't draw the viewers attention to the Rider dirty tactics, for some reason....

well that was far too close, but I hope for grizzled old veterans like Speedflex this was some kind of revenge for 1972.

I am looking forward to "Dane in headlights" half time interview again next week....lol

1 and a half punts...

Hand pouring the CR just won't stop shaking....argh Miller argh argh argh

Now run it down their throats and get a TD. Then don't look back.

Just ask Deiter Brock in the 1984 Grey Cup... What the actual ****

I am glad that I erred on the side of caution when it came to estimating how much CR I was going to need today...

You can also bet Suitor is tumescent right now...

Aigggghhhh this is so frustrating

sometimes I'm glad I'm old and just drink Crown Royal. Worst symptom the next day is a mild hang-over, cured immediately by some more hair of the dog...speaking of which...football is on...where is Fido? LOL

Pretty sure I had hypothermia after the 2000 Grey Cup game in Calgary. I've survived a lot of cold weather growing up in Southern Manitoba but that was something else. Unfortunately that experience made me not want to go to the Cup in 2019 and I will always regret that.

Is Harkins back on the depth chart? always want to minimize floaters in the lower bowl...
