3 stars plus HH
The “support your former teammates” award goes to Sergio Castillo for his glittering 26.5 punting avg.

Bombers @ Lions GDT!!!!!!!Finally!!!
Listening to the dulcet tones of Bob Irving at 4 AM Dublin time is far superior to enduring Black, burger talk, and Quashquai. Plus... I got to watch a fight outside my window between two unbelievably drunk men....one of whom, had a dog with a protective cone. The dog kept trying to bite his owner's adversary, but ended up knocking him over into a puddle instead.

Kevin Glenn Retires
I could get my Nana to make him one of her patchwork quilts for the induction ceremonies. (He could drape it over his Tim's t-shirt) A relevant and practical choice.

I forgot about Montreal. Are you able to dig up his 2018 numbers? It's tough to gauge the last 3 years without that stat.

Kevin Glenn Retires
He might physically be able to put a few series together, but for a QB who was notorious for folding with the yips when he was in his prime....well. I don't know of any athlete who becomes less anxious with age.

Kevin Glenn Retires
How many passes has the dude thrown in the past 3 years though? Correct me if I'm wrong but: Wpg- minimal, Sask-50% of snaps, Edm-Zero.

Regular Season Bomber News
I'm going to toss in the incredibly unpopular choice of Chris Matthews. The "return of the prodigal son" comparison between he and my last year's candidate: Adarius Bowman, puts a knot the size of Matt Sheridan's noggin in my stomach.

Park & Ride - Grant Park Mall (not Hydro - Taylor)
Sadly; Route 7 is staying at St. Vital Mall and not moving back to Southdale. I guess I'll have to continue driving through pre-game traffic to take a 5 minute bus ride to the stadium.

GDT Pre-season Game 1 - Edmonton at Bombers
Although it can get a bit hazy here in the Ether, I can confirm that there is no one here by the name of Foketi. I will keep my eyes open though.

NFL Coming to Winnipeg for Preseason Game
I highly endorse cold therapy machines SpeedFlex. If your medical team doesn't suggest using same, ask why not. They reduce swelling, speed recovery, and lessen pain. In Wpg they are available for rent.

Could another "TC" (Tom Canada) be far behind?...Pura Vida!

Depends on ticket price...but leaning towards yes.

2019 Main Training Camp
There will be good competition at back-up running back. Oliveira is an extremely angry runner but Augustine is no slouch either. Both broke off long runs today. Difference being...Oliveira will leave marks when you try to tackle him. #17 Mike Jones looked good. He broke up at least two passes. This season; Nichols to Matthews will be like shooting fish in a barrel. His reach can definitely compensate for a QB's inaccuracy. Corey Washington made a beautiful reception on a sideline pass that hung up a little too long and with a DB draped over him. #90 Choudja has a heck of a motor. Darvin dropped nothing. #12 Sean McGuire is a very accurate passer (quick hits-over the middle)

Don't get me started on Corrine...with her puckish grin and ginger bob.

Too bad for him that he doesn't have enough years in the league to be even remotely Canuckish.

The MBB All-time Blue Bomber Team: Tight Ends
No way he is in the running, but I liked Nick Aragki's play in the 80s. He was a big dude in a hybrid TE position and only played for the BB for one or two years (well after his prime with Montreal). He did win the Pate award with us though.

The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Running backs
Write in vote for my boy Richard Crump. One three TD game in the '70s has to count for something. Ha.

Drew's rancorous opinion toward the League has softened since he was expelled from the safety of the Ecuadorian embassy.

Alliance of American Football
In '83 I saw the L.A Express at Arizona Wranglers in Sun Devil Stadium. Even without an NFL team at the time, Phoenix drew poorly. Other memories included an interesting rule which allowed the scoring team to go for an optional 2 point convert after a TD. The concession also sold these weird thick chips with melted cheese and sliced hot peppers....I think they were called nachos.

Around the League: 2019 Off Season
I would shudder when I saw his smarmy face on Sport Centre. He presented as giggly and excessive. I'm glad he's moved to a market where I don't have to watch him. He will fit like a glove.

The MBB All-Time Blue Bomber team: Offensive Line - Guard
He did some fine colour commentary for the short lived CFL network and gave an Oscar worthy turn in Raising Arizona.

The same could be said of us last year. You never know who could emerge if the situation calls for it. - QB situation Winnipeg
