BREAKING NEWS: Schultzy Loses His Mind
by H.F. Salisbury
This just in. Dave Schultz of TSN has made a prediction that Winnipeg will beat Montreal tonight because he “saw so many good things about the Bombers in the Toronto game that I have enough confidence to predict an upset in a very competitive game.”
Apparently he drinks more Canadian Rye Whiskey (the “official drink” of the CFL) than Matt Dunigan. ...

A New Season Begins in Toronto
by Mike Alexander
What a wild week it’s been over here tryin’ to survive another seven days in Crazyville, Manitoba. Good grief, the fruit flies are somehow still living, buzzing about and bearing witness to the rise of the angry and blood thirsty wasps now. Everyone I know lives with one of their nests firmly affixed to their roofs. And guess what? I even got stung by at least...
Swimming in a Sea of Phlegm...And I Feel Fine
by Mike Alexander
I have been here at my laptop looking up proverbs, quotes and wisdom from the Chinese, Native Americans and from various unidentified Egyptians and Arabs this morning. I’ve looked at nuggets from people like Huxley, Roosevelt and several authors unknown. I’ve finally stopped the search for anything relevant to the point that I want to make today. About the only...

5 Things the Bombers Need To Do
by Tony “Tee” Martin 1. Quick start - Sold out game. A season on the brink of disaster. Revenge from getting beat up badly by Riders at The Banjo Bowl last year or for the other five loses in a row the Blue have suffered at the hands of their banjo-pickin’ rivals. Any of these factors should fire up the home team. The Bombers need to come out of the gate fast, something they...

Bring Back the Beer Snake!
By Tony “Tee” Martin
Yesterday on Twitter, Bomber uber-fan Ron Cantiveros pointed out that the Blue & Gold haven’t won since the Beer Snake was banned. Coincidence? I doubt it.
The Beer Snake is a mysterious and powerful creature. His powers must be respected.
Unless the Blue & Gold are ready to sacrifice Kenny Ploen to the football gods, they need to let the Beer...
Endangered Species
by H.F. Salisbury
I just love the entrepreneurial spirit. When that spirit is working towards supporting a worthy cause such as saving endangered species, well, let’s just say I’ll be calling PETA just as soon as I wipe this tear from my eye. Apparently these bad boys are available from Sinclair Fashions, 1821 Wellington Avenue. 2 for $20.

The PacNu Report
Pac is back with some quick picks.
In the NFL home opener, he likes the Viks to cover.
Although they got hammered last week by Calgary, Pac thinks the dreadful Eskimos can bounce back and cover a whopping 10.5 points.
After BC’s upset last week, Pac is riding Vancouver this week.
PacNu also likes the Ticats chances at home against Montreal. They cover the -3.5.
Pierce may be out, buy...

The End of a Season
By Mike Alexander
Although the sun shines a bright ray into the dining room here this morning, an opening of a window would only allow the cold lingering stench of a corpse to waft in…a grim reminder that would only stink up the place something fierce. It’s the end of a season here in Winnipeg and I am on the verge of firing up the furnace or at the very least using my signed Blue...

Pop Goes the Season???
by H.F. Salisbury I knew this was going to happen. Really. I said the Bombers season will be decided in the home at home Saskatchewan point of our schedule. Yes I realize that it is the halfway mark of the season and there is plenty of football to go however the Labour Day Classic and follow up Banjo Bowl are significant for a number of reasons. The obvious is that the Green Riders are our...
