Tidbits courtesy of bluebombers.com and our man Ed Tait: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/09/02/game-preview-labour-day-classic-2/ *Note: a win this weekend would clinch a playoff spot for the Blue Bombers for a seventh straight season, their longest run since a 17-year streak ended in 1997. - Zach Collaros is 6-0 in his career in Labour Day Classic games – 3-0 during his days in Hamilton, 1-0 in his one season in Saskatchewan and 2-0 in Winnipeg. In those games has a 13:3 TD-to-interception ratio while passing for 300 yards three times and over 400 yards in 2015 while with the Ticats. - The Blue Bombers are 24-3 against West Division clubs since 2021. - A victory in Regina this weekend would give the Blue Bombers a winning record on the road for the third consecutive season, matching a mark last set from 1960-62. These are the good times, folks. I hope you are all savoring them.

Danny and Buck's was an awesome restaurant! Buck hosted trivia nights for a short while, and he was always smiling and happy to make time for fans. They had a really good Louisianna style fried chicken sandwich with hot sauce that put other restaurants to shame. I'd go get one rfn if I could.

I just associate Kelly's 'big-league' attitude with the 'big-league' city of Toronto. More glitz and glamour, perceived or otherwise

No, but that doesn't stop Kate from trying to tell jokes or Milt and Sanchez from pantomiming tackles when they could be breaking down plays. I think the CFL game itself is why people watch, all the rest is fluffy garnish between whistles. Ask me if I think a legendary football player and parent of an active high profile CFL player in the stands is a noteworthy oddity that doesn't happen all the time and is worth noting (if only briefly), then I say yes. I wouldn't be offended by Jim Jeffcoat stopping by IGF, getting a minute of face time between whistles and another quick shot of him waving in the crowd. @Geebrr Would you be offended?

Oh that is odd, my eyes glaze over during those segments, I must have assumed dad was actually Jim. So TSN cameras can spot distant relations to relevant footballers in the crowd, but get faked out by RPO half the time. Oi.

You find it odd they keep panning to Jim Kelly, 5-time pro bowler and former NFL passing leader?

Facing reality and accepting that he can still be a big fish in a small pond is the best thing he could have done. Good for TOR and good for the CFL, we need QBs that can play

Kenny Lawler

It's almost enough to make one believe in karma. The aide playing it off as reporters needing to speak up is what gets me... she knows, everyone knows something is wrong and they keep shoving him up there infront of the cameras. Pretty soon he'll be wearing shades while security puppeteers his limbs, Weekend at Mitch's style

https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/mcconnell-appears-to-freeze-when-asked-about-re-election-191901765902 Old Glitch McConnell is freezing up at pressers again. He's clearly sick and something is seriously wrong.

Go back one page, Cahoon only came up when Rourke was referred as "barely a Canadian QB, about as Canadian as Cahoon". I agree with you, Rourke is 100% Canadian and playing college ball in the US is another testament to his skill

All this hate for Rourke is the sourest of grapes. We love Canadians!!! Not that one though!!! Virtually every player dreams of being in the NFL, but let's hate on Rourke for actually doing it!!! Let's poke holes in his nationality and college experience but completely gloss over Wolitarsky every time it is accurately pointed out he is just as fake a Canadian, faker even!!! That TSN and the rest of the major outlets latch on to a QB over any other position is an obvious no-brainer in terms of getting eyes on content and should be a surprise to NOBODY. If Bryan Burnham and Trevor Lawrence among others can sing the kids praises on Twitter (they could have just stayed quiet) I have no reason to think he was anything but a team player that earned the respect of his peers up North and down South. He's getting to do what 99.9% of Canadian QBs will never get do, and the CFL keeps getting brought up as part of the conversation. We should be happy for the exposure as well as the kid but leave it to some of you guys to be miserable about something positive.

It's pretty obvious why Rourke get the attention other Canadians in the NFL do not: he's a QB. It's way flashier than pumping up a Nikola Kolinic or Tevaughn Campbell. I do seem to remember Chase Claypool on every network a while back, when he was lighting it up and newsworthy.

I heard Milt's knees crack when he jumped off that ladder.

I'm not voting Conservative, that much is certain

That MTL bench.... 😩

You forgot something!!!

Mack sandwich

"Murky read" the Collaros experience Is he able to qualify for our RotY had like 4 games elsewhere....

You know who I miss? Hansen. So much help where we could use some now.

I heard Oliveira was no good outside the tackles, thank goodness I heard wrong

I recall Alexander sliding off a sack not long ago was it Cornelius? Fajardo is a big tough kid if nothing else. He's shrugged off LBs

It's not the depth you reach it's what you do with it, refrain of the tiny punter

Klown Konvoy lunacy I assume. He's been a popular target for the Freedumb crowd
