how effective masks and social distancing are at preventing the common cold..... honestly, something I hope stays a part of our culture long term.

....all indoor sports cancelled as of today. One of the only new measures introduced this afternoon by the premier. Also Gr 7-12 going online in the bigger cities. But that's about it. Shame, as that won't do a damn thing in AB.... had a new record 2,048 new cases today, bringing the total active to 21,385. 632 in hospital and 151 in ICU. CMOH outlined triage protocols during presser today. Living in a nightmare, I tell ya....

Kenney, that ******* *******, is just letting as many people die as possible in order to keep businesses happy..... so glad I've got my first shot already. This province is increasingly one of the worst places in the western world to live....... literally and metaphorically making me sick.

anything with a union........ same in AB. Con's hate unions....

the key to beating the Oilers is to get an early lead. Tippett still plays that old "get a lead and lock it down" style, so if they score first, they'll start trapping hard. It's not a guaranteed win if you score first, but it'll go a long way....

Booch, who is pretty connected, has said that Kongbo is likely to be back with the Bombers....

Koskinen starts for Oilers... Jets have a chance tonight for sure. That guy is awful.

Ugh... The bane of my existence. Winter was even worse. I know there's a spray you can get but I don't know how well it actually works. I'm forever cleaning my glasses on my shirt...

do we know who Edmonton is starting in net? I thought I read Koskinen is getting the start...in which case, this should be a close game and maybe even a Jets win. I'll say 4-3 Jets if Koskinen is in....... 3-1 Oilers if Mike Smith is in.

I'm so ******* pumped just to have some CFL **** to talk about. I'm gonna wear a jersey all day and go into full CFL mode on Tuesday!! Let's go Blue!!

I unfortunately have to wear glasses all the time, so I've got that going for me. My wife, who works in the public, has a job-mandated double-mask mandate and wears a protective face shield on top of that...

When I'm inside a public place (the rare occasion I go into a store) I wear a disposable as a base layer, and then a cloth one with a filter over top that.....I feel much more protected for the limited time I'm in the vicinity of plague-ravaged (I assume) people....

Gonna see more and more and more of that.... they aren't vaccinated yet, and these variants (which are the majority across Canada) don't mess around. Doesn't matter if you're healthy or not....if it gets a hold of you, you could die. Absolutely do not **** around with this thing......get vaccinated, maintain social distancing at all times, and wear a damn mask (I find myself double masking indoors now) until further notice.....

Unless there's someone really dynamite available to us early, I have a feeling we take a lot of futures picks this year, just because there would be too many new rookies (including last year's draft class) to evaluate in a shortened training camp this year. Now, certainly, you shouldn't bypass a great talent just because of that, but I could see them taking futures vs something middling....

it's been so long since we've had Bombers football that I've forgotten how bipolar this site can be sometimes...ha ha.

WINNIPEG NELSON LOKOMBO DB | SASKATCHEWAN The Bombers steal the Saskatchewan Huskies product after the Riders focus on pass protection and scoop up the 2019 U SPORTS Defensive Player Of The Year. Nelson’s natural CFL fit – despite being slightly undersized – is at free safety. While Winnipeg is predominantly American on the back end, he can earn his reps on special teams alongside the Hallett brothers as Nick and Noah stand alone waving the maple leaf in the Bombers’ secondary.

Ya at 4-0 I was done with that game. I'm an Oilers and Jets fan but that's just not entertaining in the least. Back into the Marvel rewatch rabbit hole, I go....

Sounds like you guys got the same pathetic "not even half" measures that AB got a month ago. Trust me...it did nothing. Numbers continue to exponentially rise. It's a terrifying time to be ruled by a Conservative government pandering to businesses.

receiver from last year's CIS/NCAA draft, Brendon Oleary-Orange and this year's Global LB Les Maruo....

Miley can wail....she's absolutely bonkers crazy, but she can wail. The amount of respect she has within the music industry is large...

I saw someone on Twitter refer to him as a real life Hank Scorpio from Simpsons.... Seems like that might check out.

Back on topic, Our Man Tait has another really great "First And 10" at BB.com... https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/04/25/first-10-jeffcoat-neufeld-optimistic-hopeful/ This but in particular is worth checking out the whole piece... A couple of leftovers from Bombers President and CEO Wade Miller from my interview with him earlier in the week. First, I asked him about the suggestion the CFL should just go dark for another year and simply regroup for 2022. There was a pause before he answered, and when he did there was a sense that, if he could, he would have reached out and slapped me upside the head for even bringing that up. “That,” he said, “is NOT an option. We’re playing football and we need to play football. We need to play football for our players, our coaches and our fans.”

If he's on your team, Thornton is a guy every single fan would love. He's just a man out there compared to everyone else. Similar to Weber... Buff is the only guy the Jets have ever had that's even comparable to their personality.
