amazing stat - very few people have children if their parents didn't have any kids either. Imagine that.

Lovin' Every Minute of This Smorg....

Lord "Earl" Grey. He was an Earl, and served in the House of Lords for a brief time before he became Governor General of Canada. The Grey Cup he donated was supposed to go to the Canadian amateur hockey champion of Canada, but Montague Allan (Allan Cup) beat him to it, so he decided to give the Cup to the rugby lads instead, as this new "football" they were playing seemed to be catching on. So there you go, football in Canada being the second choice to hockey even back over 100 years ago....

Everybody's working for the pancakes....everybody needs a second Big Mac....oh yeah!!!

or the Bombers sign Travis Kelce in 2025 and get T. Swift to do the half time. Now THAT would be a double-get!

The obvious choice!

Never too early.

Triple bill with Prism and Triumph.... Seriously though, Kenny Shields RIP.... I heard he's going to leave the radio business to manage the Reklaws full time. Taking a big swing.

Why even play the game? Just award the Lions the two points and let's be on our way...lol...

I only do that when I'm Alberta bound....

Good points. It never hurts to have an exceptional receiver in the mix that most teams are afraid of and will scheme for, sure opens up a lot of other opportunities, and with the guys we have now they can eat all night. Not like Lawler has to open up the field for Craphonso Thorpe or Brock Ralph lol....as those guys would still find a way to be covered.

New policy - you get the 10 yards for a first down, and immediately slide and give yourself up. That way everyone gets a chance to make a catch as you go down the field and no one hogs the yardage. A socialist football utopia as it were.

it's like as if you could read my mind...

Yes the Justin Bieber Grey Cup game - the only game where viewership went up during half time and then dropped down again by the 3rd quarter due to the teenage girl audience tuning in lol...

I have seen a few half time GC acts in my time. The Black Eyed Peas in 2005 were pretty good. The Guess Who in 2000 in Calgary weren't bad, despite Burton having to wear gloves to play the piano because it was so freaking cold. In 2011 I skipped Nickelback's show to hang out with the Blue Bastard and drink beer. I think the same thing happened in 2014 when I missed Imagine Dragons lol....that BB, what a guy. Since freezing my ass off in 2000 in Calgary, I basically only go to Grey Cups in Vancouver now. Now if Winnipeg is playing....I may break that rule. Should have broken it in 2019...big mistake.

And then when we play the Ar-blows again this year in the Cup....

Steven Lee Olsen and the super dogs, come on down!

Salomonsson got rocked pretty good in the Ottawa game.

and then you add in a cold November day to the mix - talk about intimidation. Unless you can take the crowd out of it early you are basically hooped. I did feel in the West Final last year that our guys were a bit jittery too. It didn't help that we had zero confidence in our kicker either. We were in control for most of that game but nerves definitely played a part for sure.

having been at the West Final last year and watching Rourke basically short-circuit and blow the last minute of the game due to the crowd noise has me thinking that no one in the CFL wants to play the Bombers at home. Let it be the West final. Not the WSF. Screw the Lions. They suck.

Still think we should have stuck with AH to the bitter end and let BO go to another team....lol... Time to move on from a few other vets this off season. End of an era I guess but on the other hand we won three Cups in the 1980's to 1990 with three pretty different teams.

yeah the Argos are reminding me of the Vikings last year in the NFL - won a lot of games by pure dumb luck and then melted in their first playoff game when the going got rough. I'm glad we won (and I won't discount the fact that when they put their 3rd stringer QB in they basically were saying "please win, here it is on a platter") but man it shouldn't have been that close.

You should also give credit to Perimeter Airlines and Exchange Income Corp - it was a team effort and it was really good to see. They've been doing this for a few years now, good to see fans from all over Manitoba get a chance to enjoy a live Bomber game.

Yes not sure what game WJ was watching today but he definitely didn't seem to be really on the same page with the rest of the defense. Not sure what's going on there.
