I attended the Argos’ first regular season game at new BMO field on June 23rd, 2016 and here’s my rant. The Shipyard (A for effort, C+ for execution) This was the official (non-tailgate) pre-game party It was virtually impossible to purchase beer from the bartenders whom ostensibly couldn’t handle making change. Even more difficult was…
Winter could’ve been worse but it sure was a bastard of a spring! Rejoice! June has arrived, along with nine undefeated Canadian Football League teams and 167 reasons (games) to drink to excess. I have already foreseen the results of this years campaign and as per tradition, I spoil it for you below. Terms of Service: By reading…
It took two solid weeks to recover from the 103rd Edition of the Grand National Drunk and longer still to put fingers to keyboard. I’m late, so what? Dock my pay! Thursday The first actions of the trip were to collect the rental car and purchase some rocket fuel for the weekend. What did I see on…
Finally feeling normal again after a party weekend worthy of a Nation Lampoon’s movie. Some time it was in River City this year! I tip my mask to the Grey Cup Committee and festival organizers. It was a very well run show from the minute I deplaned all the way to boarding the flight home. A…

I haven’t heard any mention of it but tonight’s Bombers v Argos tilt is likely the last ever football game that will be played at SkyDome (I’ll never accept Rogers Centre). The Argos will finish third, meaning no home playoff game. Next year’s Grey Cup (and all the ones after that in TO) will be…
My reign of terror is near! Battle plans will be drawn up at The Arrow and Loon – 99 Fifth Ave @ 6pm. Bring your gifts of bear to the north stands, sec DD, row 22 or taste my lightening!
The sword has finally fallen and Pat Tracey is mercifully no longer the Special Teams Coordinator of the Blue Bumblers. Why was his decapitation delayed for so long? Most likely because Tracey was the position coach for both O’Shea and Kyle Walters in University. It’s always easier to look the other way then do what needs to be…
Several of you let me know how you were feeling following Sunday’s implosion. It wasn’t pretty. I’m sick of looking forward to a game, only to turn the channel after 10 minutes of play. I don’t plan on altering my schedule based upon a game, hosting any bomber parties / or attending one due to the…
