3 Things

by Tony “Tee” Martin 3 Things I Like About the Blue & Gold After Week 4 1. Steven Jyles - With only one pro start and more time with a clipboard than he was probably comfortable with, Jyles stepped up against Edmonton. While he did throw a couple picks (19-35), he was able to make plays with his feet and proved (at least for one game), that the Blue and Gold could have an...

Why Don't You Smell What You've Been Shoveling

By Mike Alexander Ever get the feeling of deja-vu? Of course you do. Do you recall the last time the hair on your hairs stood up on end on your arm at the realization that you were completely and utterly lost and unable to find your destination? And worse, had no idea how to access the tools required to get to your destination? I have. I was in a van driving overnight from a city called...

Now That’s Entertainment!!!

by H.F. Salisbury What a day. I have it on good authority that the half time show at the Stadium for the Eskimo/Bomber tilt on Saturday is the epically horrible Forklorama “Parade of Nations.” I also just found out my dog Rover died. Not sure which one upsets me more. No offense to the organizers of Forklorama. It is a great festival. But the Parade of Nations is the worst football...

The PacNu Report

Here is the quick and dirty on the CFL. PacNu called in to say he likes Hamilton’s chances in Montreal and the Alouettes won’t be able to cover the 8.5 point spread. Over in Toronto, B.C. will cover the 2.5 point spread. Pac likes Winnipeg at home. Saskatchewan will cover the 1.5 points in Calgary. Good luck.

Beer Snake Gonna Knock You Out

By Mike Alexander I remember the band 9 Shocks Terror. They were a punk rock band from somewhere in Ohio who enjoyed a period of notoriety in the 90’s. They were terribly ugly human beings who churned out disgusting sounds that were fast and upset. I saw them twice in Minneapolis. The first time I saw them was at a venue that had hosted a record swap earlier in the afternoon. At the conclusion...

Beer Snake Now Extinct

from The Winnipeg Blue Bombers The Winnipeg Football Club takes a lot of pride in attempting to provide our fans with an enjoyable and memorable game day experience. After three home games thus far in 2010, we believe our fans have taken notice of the fresh ideas we have implemented as they enter our facility, and of course we will continue to strive to provide entertaining and competitive...

5 Things - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

by Tony “Tee” Martin 5 Things I Like About the Blue & Gold After Two Games 1. Buck Pierce - After two games, Pierce is the team’s leading rusher and looks solid in the pocket. Even though he coughed up the ball twice last game, he has been consistent with his throws and is making quick reads. These are two things Bishop had trouble with last year. He has also picked up the...

M.I.A. (or “Bomber Nation Starts Anew”)

by H.F. Salisbury Bomber Nation. Celebrating its 80th year of history. Like any pro sports franchise, there have been ups and downs. Just as many excuses as well. Actually the excuses to downs ratio is usually about 3:1. Of late, I’ve had a surprising number of people who know me ask why I have not written any Angry Bomber Fan columns yet. Apparently people really look forward to my...

The PacNu Report

Welcome to the 1st PacNu Report of the 2010 season. PacNu wasn’t able to submit his picks last week, but is back this year to give you the quick low down on the CFL and the WCLC. Despite his love for the Blue & Gold, PacNu believes Toronto will cover the 10.5 spread the WCLC is giving them. He thinks Hamilton will beat Calgary on Proline. (Win by 3.5 is all you need). Win is paying...

A Fine Start

by Mike Alexander With Hamilton Ti Cat quarterback Kevin Glenn looking like his former self back in the dismal 2008 Season in which he was run out of town last Friday night in Winnipeg, it was rewarding to sweat it out and take in a season opener last week that offered fans all sorts of promise for the 2010/11 Winnipeg Blue Bomber season. While it’s hard to hang onto emerging factoids and to...

Doomed From the Start?

by Mike Alexander It’s been a long seven months since the drama of the 2009/10 Winnipeg Blue Bomber season mercifully seemed to calm down. It took the arrest of our soon to be ex-head coach for beating the shit out of his girlfriend to bring any sense of relief over the humiliation and low quality exhibited week after week last season. While I feel bad for her, seeing Coach Mike Kelly finally...

Police in Bridgeport, Penn., responded to Kelly’s home in the Philadelphia area at 11:03 a.m. The other person involved in the incident is Andrea Peterson, Kelly’s former girlfriend.

The Final PacNu Report of 2009 - Grey Cup

Like a lot of diehard CFL fans, PacNu thinks Montreal is a strong team, but that the Roughriders have more heart. Montreal might be the better team on paper, but PacNu and Ridernation are hoping they can pull off the big upset. See you next season. Go Riders.

Good Riddance

By Ernie “This Is The” Pitts I almost didn’t want to hear what Mike Kelly had to say about the loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Would he tell Bob Irving to go fuck himself? Maybe he’d challenge Bob Cameron to a cage match. Or kick Kenny Ploen in the crotch with steel-toed boots. Maybe set Buzz and Boomer on fire and slap a few cheerleaders. Take a dump on the logo at...

You Are The Reason Why We Can Never Have Anything...

by Mike A. I had nodded off on the couch when something caused to wake up suddenly. TSN’s Chris Cuthbert had possibly just said something about Michael Bishop throwing a pick that had just been returned by the Hamilton Ti-Cats for a touchdown late the 4th quarter. I turned around and saw the score and realized that the 2009 Winnipeg Blue Bomber season had just been fucking ended by a team...

Maybe I’m Just Cranky

by H.F. Salisbury I must be cranky because this really got under my skin. I think Coach Kelly got this one right!!! Football is a team sport. Period. I do not care if Fred Reid is correct or not in his assessment regarding the Offensive Line needing to do a better job of creating holes for “Thunder” to run through. You don’t publicly call out your offensive line ESPECIALLY before the...

You could tell who they were. They walked with bow legs, with their makeup smeared, their...

Happy Halloween

by H.F. Salisbury I love Halloween. Yesterday, I made a comment that it is my favourite holiday of the year only to be reminded by my wife that it is NOT a holiday. Rather it is an “occasion.” Whatever… it’s still cool and the best idea the Celts have had that I’m aware of. At any rate, the picture above was taken at my daughter’s school Halloween party. The kid in the picture said...

The PacNu Report

Wanna win some cash? So does PacNu! This week the Pac likes Edmonton to cover that big spread, a tie in the Saskatchewan/Hamilton game and BC in a Proline win. Keep checking back for his pick in the Winnipeg/Montreal game. PacNu’s Gate Night Special (even though the gamer is on Sunday) is for Minnesota to win in Green Bay.

It's Easy To Be A Winner When You're Not In The...

by Mike Warkentin - Uptown Magazine I wonder if Barack Obama feels like Tee Martin. A few years ago, quarterback Tamaurice (Tee) Martin arrived in Winnipeg and practically stepped off the plane onto coats laid at his feet by ardent supporters of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. After a stellar college career in the U.S. and stints with NFL squads, Martin was a golden child of sorts - the kind of...

Swaggerville's So Sweet

By: Gary Lawless - Winnipeg Free Press They call it Swaggerville, this cocky but accomplished defensive secondary of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and it’s become a dangerous place for quarterbacks looking to plunder and pillage for some passing loot. They’ve already collected 29 interceptions, the highest total by a CFL team since B.C. led the league with 36 picks in 2006 and the...

by Mike A. I may have just invented a cool new game that would be fun to play. It’s playing chicken and chicken fighting at the same time. It requires four people, two per team. On both teams, one member climbs on and sits on the shoulders of their team mate. The game begins when both teams start oh, about twenty yards away from each other and at the sound of a whistle/AK-47 fire/etc. both...

It's Time to Get Realistic

by Tony “Tee” Martin After basking in the glow of a three game winning streak and watching Michael Bishop at his best, reality came crashing back to Maroons Road. Riding a 14-0 lead and defending against a third string QB, the Bombers still managed to give away a win to B.C. and deflate the momenteum they had finally generated. In front of a relatively quiet crowd on a beautiful day for...

It's a Long Way to the Top

by Mike A. Back on September 18th while the Hamilton Ti-Cats were busy dining on the visiting Calgary Stampeders late in the fourth quarter at Ivor Wynn Stadium, some crazy motherfucker decided to climb the upright goal post, shimmying all the way to the top before grabbing onto the flag twelve meters above the field and then sliding back down. A bizarre mixture of drunk buffoons in the crowd...

From September to Dismember?

by Mike A. Here in Winnipeg, the weather turned suddenly this past weekend. Memories of angrily discussing the game on the porch only a couple weeks ago have all now become ancient history as the familiar crispness in the air replaces the casual, easy chatter out back. Inside the house, the sheet has been replaced with the comforter on the bed. I find myself thinking about dark beer again. The...

Buying Time

by: Tony “Tee” Martin A lot of people were talking this week about how this was a do or die game for the Bombers. If the Boys in Blue won, Coach K. would buy himself another week to tinker with his antiquated offensive schemes, scour some more video tape of QB prospects hoping to find the next “chosen one”, keep the team in the playoff hunt and prevent fans from firing...

Now That’s More Like It

by H.F. Salisbury I like Paul Friesen. He tells it like it is. I seriously cracked up when in his Winnipeg Sun column he dubbed yesterdays clash between the two worst teams in the CFL the “Toilet Bowl.” Upon reflection, those two words really are keeping me in check as I look forward from the game and a well deserved win. As the 22,000 plus fans (and I’m talking paid not actually...

Why I Bleed Blue & Gold
