Ottawa @ Montreal: Friday, August 29 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Montreal A winnable game for either team. When in doubt take the home side. Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan: Sunday, August 31 (4:00pm EDT) Pick: Saskatchewan It has been a decade since the Bombers have won in Regina. It looks like Durant will play. Revenge will come in the Banjo Bowl. Toronto @ Hamilton: Monday,…
Disclaimer: I accidentally reset the Blue Bastardette’s phone erasing its entire contents including all the good game pics. She is very upset about the game pics losing her digital life. I make do with what my generous companions have provided. Sorry Blue Bastardette. 3:45pm: 5:20pm: Arrival at the Wheat Sheaf and rendezvous with the 416 Support Squadron!…
Montreal @ Winnipeg: Friday, August 22 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg This is NOT a gimme game for Winnipeg. The league has figured out how bad their O and D lines are. This game hinges on that fact and the turn over battle. Montreal can take the game by forcing turn overs, getting to Willy and running the ball.…
We are the unofficial Toronto area booster club for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers! The only appearance at SkyDump for the Blue and Gold this year is Tuesday, August 12th at 7:30pm! The plan is to meet up at the Wheat Sheaf Tavern (667 King St. W at Bathurst) from 5pm until close to kickoff. Half price wings!…
Intro I hate Hamilton. I hate everything about it. The smell, the ugly, the roads and of course their football team — the Pussy Cats. Begin 1:30pm: Pint of brew in the Indianapolis International Airport. 2:35pm: A duty free store this facility has not. 2:55pm: Take-off. 3:34pm: Ladies and gentlemen we are please to begin our in-flight…
Week 7 sucked but I nailed all my picks. Wish I had gone 3-1. Winnipeg @ Toronto: Tuesday, August 12 (7:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg Winnipeg is the better team here, no doubt about it, but will they able able to prepare and play at full speed after only a few days rest? Why the hell are we even talking…
I hate working for a living. More details tomorrow but for now before the first game of the week: Riders over Bombers. I really hope I’m wrong. I think Ford gets his revenge tonight. Eskies over Als: Duh. Lions over Tiger-Cats: Lions just don’t lose often at home. Stamps over RobBlacks: RodBlacks just don’t have it…
Week 6 and Hamilton still doesn’t have their new house. Hate to say I told you so. Actually I don’t, it’s one of my favourite sayings. As I write this from an airport bar at an unknown location on my way to tonight’s Bombers v Cats tilt I am rudely reminded via email that is…
Week 5 and things are starting to trend in the direction most people thought they would back in June. Calgary @ Edmonton: Thursday, July 24 (9:00pm EDT) Pick: Edmonton Calgary looked haggard and didn’t deserve to win last week. I don’t care if “the experts” keep calling Calgary the best team in the CFL, they almost lost to…
