Every year around this time, there's an outbreak of Blue Flu in Regina.

Great article on Alford. I feel like this is just one of many more to come. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-dee-alford-tusculum-cfl-winnipeg-blue-bombers-jerry-odom-jim-goldsmith-new-orleans-saints

The name doesn't have the best track record. Charles I was executed and Charles II (his son) was possibly poisoned to death... not really all that surprising nobody wanted to follow in those footsteps. Charles II had no legitimate children so there was nobody to follow him anyway. The crown went to his younger brother, James II, who was then deposed. There has never been another King James since then either. Interesting side note - when William eventually takes the throne, he will be the 1st direct descendant of Charles II to sit on the throne since Princess Diana has blood ties to two of Charles illegitimate kids.

It's official.

You might even say he was a Genius!

LOL I've been a fan of Punk since before the Bucks even made a name for themselves, it's not a "sides" thing for me. There's lots of blame to go around on this one - nobody handled this very well but Punk is the one who made things physical, something neither side seems to dispute. Cody's leaving has nothing to do with this situation... why would I bring it up? Cody, along with many others, have had issues with Punk as well, why didn't you mention that? Because it's not relevant. Punk's track record is way sketchier than the Bucks, so I'm not sure you want to use that as an argument. We may never know the full story but as of now there are two sides that have been leaked, Punk leaked his first, and now the Elite have leaked their side. Sounds like enough neutral parties saw how it happened so I wouldn't be surprised if we get the 3rd (and probably more accurate) version of the story.

Nah this is mostly on Punk. He decided to shoot on Page, the Bucks (and presumably Kenny), believing they were leaking info to the media. He says come talk face to face, the Bucks oblige and all hell breaks loose. Punk starts throwing hands (not impressive if you watched his UFC "fights"), while his buddy throws a chair & goes back to grade school fighting style with hair pulling and biting. The stuff Punk was mad about (his issues with Colt Cabana) has been public knowledge for years so his reasoning is pretty flawed. It was also very selective since other people (MJF for instance) have commented on the situation but he didn't go after them. That's not to say the other guys don't have any blame to share. Apparently a lot of people saw the brawl go down so if it was 100% a Punk thing, the others wouldn't have been suspended. It'll be interesting to hear the full story when it eventually leaks out.

We had about 10 of us in total, some drove out Friday night after work and some left Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon, we went to the Festival at Stampede Park for a bit before heading Bomber House. Was hoping for another Bob Cameron planking demo since we missed the one on Friday but no such luck - still had a blast even though it was crazy packed and you could barely move. Took the C-train to the game and I don't ever remember being that nervous before - certainly not for a sporting event. I think I had one beer the entire game and I couldn't take my eyes off the field for a second. I distinctly remember watching Harris pre-game and seeing how fired up he was. I need to re-watch the game because it's a bit of blur now except for how I felt and the Hansen hit (I can still hear that sound, clear as day) . The nerves didn't leave until the 4th quarter - only to be replaced by disbelief. Was this really happening after 29 years, and I'm here to see it live? I definitely shed a few tears when the game ended and we stuck around to celebrate with the other Bomber fans & players. Sheed was still out there well after the rest of the team went to the locker room and we were yelling at him to go celebrate with the boys. We went to some random pub to meet up with the rest of our group & get some food and drinks. It still felt (and still does to an extent) surreal and we couldn't believe the streak was over. Best road trip I've ever taken.

😟

Maybe to handle returns since Grant is still out? Holm was OK in the fact that he didn't go backwards or fumble the ball but he didn't seem like much of a threat.

The interwebs is having a field day with this one. Who knew the HA Canadian national president was also the lead singer of a German pop group?

Dickenson probably thinks he's being smart since the next game is on the road and guys who aren't playing don't make the trip anyway. It's another example of no-consequences lip service from him. We'll see if that holds up for their next home game or not.

I don't think he ever had it. The behavior has been the same through his time there - he's never been able to control his players.

Yep, 1st of 3 games in a month against the Riders - don't want to show them everything at once.

They used to be good for an Eastern team. Their record would not have been nearly as good if they were in the West.

He's been on the injured list the last two weeks but that might just be a paper move.

You aren't missing anything. 4 straight games between two trash teams makes this LDC not so classic.

Evans, Newman and Morton.

3 QB's. Shiltz didn't throw a pick last week, all 3 were from Evans.

Helps playing the same team a million times in a row, especially when that team is hot garbage.

Lots of rappers have been using the term wipe his nose for a few years now, Young Thug has been doing it since at least 2019. It essentially means they beat/robbed someone, rather than cleaning someone out, they are cleaning up. It can translate to football if you beat your man and make a play.

Even our pre-season roster was banged up (BA, Maston).
