Opponent unknown, but the Bombers will host the Western Final for the first time in 49 years. 

 

Can Harris come back?
I'm assuming McGuire dresses behind Collaros?
Who's in/who's out? 

 

Long, long range weather (as of November 22): High -3, feels like -9. Wind 21. 

(as of November 24): High -11, feels like -18. Wind 26. 

(as of November 26): High -5, feels like -10. Wind 18, gusting 27.

(as of November 29): High -9, feels like -14, Wind 14, gusting 24. 

(as of December 1): High -7, feels like -12, Wind 20, gusting 30. 

(as of December 3): High -5, feels like -12, Wind 33, gusting 50.  This is interesting, the wind has picked up SIGNIFICANTLY, to the point that I don't even think the kicking game is going to matter. But, the high on Monday is -22, which tells me it's likely the temperature will get much colder prior to or during the game. The weather is definitely going to be a factor but we're still too far out to see what the full impact will be. It's going to be fun. 

Do what Willie says and no one gets hurt. 

 

Who's coming in from out of town?

The Riders won a bunch of games they had no business winning 

Maybe, but they won. They have no business winning on Sunday but they may still do it. 

Nye mentions Fajardo almost throwing a TD pass in OT but neglects that BLM had a similar play too. Also almost doesn't count. I almost had a date with Heidi Klum except for you know never meeting her and her being out of my league.

You know what I'm saying. How many games have they won over the past few seasons when you look at the game and say, how the heck did they win that one?!?!? 

Lots. Somehow, lots.

It doesn't concern me, but sure.

Rider fans are weirdly optimistic going into the game. They played like such hot ass last weekend I don't know where this bravado is coming from.

I'M HERE FOR THE MOLLY WHOPPINGS!!!

Everything in my brain tells me that the Bombers go on to defend the cup.  We crushed them in the regular season series.  

However my heart is nervous for a couple reasons:

1. Lack of meaningful games for the past month

2. Lots of rest which may lead to rust 

3. Even though they looked awful, the Riders winning last week does give them a lift.

4. It's difficult to beat a team 3 times.

5. There isn't a team I loathe more than the Riders and absolutely hate losing to them.

One thing that I have going for me is that my daughter is coming to the game , and she is 7-0 when watching them live.  And the the last Rider game she went to was in 2018 when we annihilated them 31-0.

I'm going to be a nervous wreck on Sunday.  And will not be settled until the final whistle or we're up 50-10 going into the 4th. 

Couldn't have said it better myself... This is exactly my feelings (except my daughter is 2 and has never been to a game)...

I was pacing with the Bombers up 20 with 3 mins left in the Grey Cup... I can't relax until the clock is at zero... However, I'm always way more relaxed (while still cheering wildly) when I'm at the stadium... enjoying the game with 30,000 of my closest friends always makes me feel better!

By "limited", he meant speed - limited.  Less than 25 mph.

That’s what happens when ya try holding in all that urine. 

Honestly, fire your trash training staff. Most of these injuries seem to happen at practice.

I like how the article doesn't mention his suspensions to avoid getting officially popped for a PED.

And the abuse the poor staff suffered because he's trash.

Yeah I believe that was the reason for the second suspension. Maybe I am misremebering.

Moral of the story: just refuse the test and assault the tester and the media doesn't care anymore.

Nothing questionable about a grown man not being able to piss for 3 days

They mentioned the suspension in the article. Also said he was “snubbed” in not getting an all-star nom, ignoring who he lost out to.

Missed that, clearly.
