So the KC Chiefs lost a coin toss meaning Mahomes never had the chance to become the OT hero that Brady became. Never had the chance. How the NFL sticks with this mind-numbingly dumb and unfair overtime format is beyond any reasonable explanation.

Marchand just licked Callahan in the face. It’s not funny anymore, it’s just disgusting and gross. It’s an embarassment to him, to the Bruins and to the League. The NHL needs to stop it.

For a coach to say his team is underperforming and admit that he is likely part of the problem is extraordinary. Paul Maurices coaching shelf life was up and he knew it. Whatever you think of him, his exit today reeks of honesty and class, the kind of which is extremely rare.

If the CFL powers that be are seriously considering going to 4 downs, they should have their heads read. Whatever changes need to be made to increase interest in our game, going to 4 downs would alienate the CFL’s still sizeable fan base in a way you don’t even want to imagine.

The CFL is important to hundreds of thousands of Cdns., been around for a century, & whether you’re a fan or not, it’s a Cdn cultural icon. None of the 9 owners are in it for profit, the CFL is good for the economy & national identity, so why wouldn’t the Feds help out?????

Brady Oliveira delivers a first class speech after being named the CFL’s top Canadian. He makes you proud to be a Winnipeger.

Mike Oshea turned to the stands and applauded the fans near the end of the Bombers win over Sask. Oshea and the players truly appreciate what they have in Wpg’s passionate fan base, and what those fans mean to the team.

Hey Bomber fans, if you needed another reason to appreciate how fortunate we are to have Zach Collaros playing QB, you got it in the 35-28 win over Calgary. Special player, great leader and teammate.

If the CFL did a detailed 3-month investigation and found enough EVIDENCE to suspend Chad Kelly for 9 games, how in Gods name do the Argos and the CFL allow him to be on the field with the team today?? Are the moral compasses all malfunctioning?? Pinball, what’s going on??

9 straight days without a positive covid-19 test makes me so proud to be a Winnipeger and Manitoban. Take a bow Premier Pallister, Dr Roussin and the general public. But don’t stop following the rules. We’ve got a big lead but it aint over.

The promoter of tonites NFL preseason game in Wpg clearly had no idea how shrewd and sophisticated Wpg’ers are when it comes to spending their money. Given the ridiculous prices a crowd of 20,000 is a tribute to our community, not a condemnation.

Hey Bomber fans. Rasheed Bailey is back, re-signing for less money than he could have received elsewhere. Couldn’t see himself playing anywhere else. What a receiving corps.
