That new franchise smell wafting over from Ottawa is starting to fade away and people are realizing there’s a strong stench in the Canadian Football League. One Redditor put it thus: I was a rabid Expos fan. I do hope you don’t have to live through what I did. Right now, you’re right before the “splitting games with San…
The winners and losers are starting to show their true colours and someone is likely to loose their first game this week (unless there’s a tie tonight). Edmonton @ Winnipeg: Thursday, July 17 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg Winnipeg’s margin of victory has shrunk each of the past two weeks. There’s only one battle that matters in this game —…
Is is too early to see trends? Maybe not after week 3 when everyone has at least 2 games in… Winnipeg @ Montreal: Friday, July 11 (7:00pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg Winnipeg has won in Montreal their last three visits. Their first two victories were a blowout and a come from behind but injury Santa has arrived early and is handing out…
At first I had no idea what to write about this week but it wasn’t long before a tsunami of rage exploded inside me like yesterday’s bad bean burrito. Then the words poured forth from my fingers faster than the serve yourself beer taps inside the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge on Grey Cup weekend. Lies So Timmy’s field isn’t…
Bombers win? Holy shit! The no-one-gave-them-a-chance Blue Bombers didn’t just win they dominated! They made Ricky Ray look like a choir boy Week 1 was awesome! Ok, no it wasn’t, two games were horrible but football was finally back on TV. The extra long weekend didn’t leave much time for blogging so it’s a quick hitter this week.…
Week 2 is here already! It seems like only last week that week 1 was here… Ottawa @ Winnipeg: Thursday, July 3 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Winnipeg If you picked Winnipeg to win last week you’re a liar. Although they are certainly favourites this week anything can happen in the CFL, including an expansion team winning its first ever…
It’s back! It’s back! It’s back! The CFL 2014 edition kicks off tonight! Like the Blue Bumblers I was terrible last year and like the Bumblers this year it should be very easy to do better. I’m already on my way to see my bookie. Toronto @ Winnipeg: Thursday, June 26 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: Toronto Ha.…
loyal Bastard reader: “Who do you have for the chalice this year?” The Blue Bastard: “I dunno, hard to say but I think I’ll take Calgary. Vegas has BC but Lulay’s so fragile that he’s still broken from last year. I doubt the host squad wins it. You?” loyal Bastard reader: “Well it’s an eight team…
Winter is finally over! Summer is here! We are saved! At least for five or six weeks until the Bumblers out of playoff contention. But rejoice none-the-less and enjoy the rookie show. Tonight is perhaps the best chance the Bumblers have at beating the Boatmen. Apparently Ricky Ray is taking a few snaps tonight. At least we’ll…
Heave-ho yuh scurvy dogs! I’m back! It’s that time of year again so wipe away those frozen tears of winter past and wash your football jerseys. Which time? The time when all Canadian teams are out of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the grass is green and beer gets warm if left outside — training camp! Well,…
