"His resignation comes as a direct result of new revelations that he was using Conservative Party money to pay for his children’s private schooling." https://globalnews.ca/news/6288286/andrew-scheer-resignation/?fbclid=IwAR2ufyV9baZFwrl3I_olSiabTMt8Eo_G4LzeEhlZ35lIIn2mjd4-oPXnMBQ

Call me crazy, but I think Streveler could be the league's most dangerous quarterback in 2-3 years and the bonus is that he doesn't have to throw for 5000 yards to be that guy. The OC (whoever that is) is going to have a profound impact on how his game rounds out. Still think we need Nichols around and I harbour no ill feelings if Collaros wants to go back to Ontario. A teacher's salary adds up over 20-25 years and it would be naive to think that her life and goals aren't a serious consideration for a young couple. That is, if Ford hasn't already chopped her position.

I would not sneeze at Dominique Rhymes, but I'd rather get our priority guys re-signed first.

Is there a single Blue Bomber that had a bad game on Sunday? I've watched twice and never swore at anyone.

Prediction: Winston Rose - MODP (Can't even remember if this is still a thing 🤔) Andrew Harris - Outstanding Canadian Kenny Lawler - Player of the game. Winnipeg 28 Hamilton 24

No doxxing intended!

Watched 1990 yesterday and I saw similarities. The Bomber offense was not supposed to compete with the vaunted Esks, but turnovers and a new quarterback drove the ass-kicking. I've gone from 20% confident on Monday to 60% today. Recording the game because nervous-drinking is going to make it a blur.

Buzzkill....😏

It would be more effective if Jefferson took his hand-offs from Evans.

I'm guessing then that Trump shot the guy.

Off-season broadcast changes wishlist: Replace Doug Brown with Jason Vega Replace all TSN game directors with people who understand the importance of instant replays. Replace Rod Black with just about anyone or anything.

Penton doesn't know enough about the Bombers to properly evaluate the validity of what his "insiders" are saying. Maybe at one point he did, but he's hopelessly out of touch now that he's semi-retired in Kelowna.

I've come around to thinking that Winston Rose might be the best defensive player in the league.

Hmmmm. "While the Ticats ranked second in the CFL with a plus-eight turnover ratio in 2019, they failed to maintain a positive ratio over the second half of the season, finishing minus-three over the last nine games. Meanwhile, the Ticats threw the second most interceptions in the league, including 13 from Dane Evans." https://www.cfl.ca/2019/11/19/numbers-dont-lie-3-stats-will-define-grey-cup-3/

Collaros is the wildcard for me - he's been very impressive and I don't think the Cats can stack the box on us anymore. I actually don't want Streveler in if he's not going to throw or hand-off with some regularity (or if we're up by 20 with 5 minutes to go). Too bad Calgary got their half-foot of snow today instead of this Sunday.

When I did notice Jefferson on the re-watch, he seemed positioned to prevent CoFaj from escaping to his left with that spin move. I'm not convinced he didn't do anything despite being held off the stats sheet.

Rewatched the West Final last night and one thing struck me. Shaq Evans looks like a beast, but he was so weak on his feet. Winston Rose looked to be giving up all sorts of pounds on him but was throwing him around like a rag doll and tackling him with one arm.

I dunno, but I've noticed that Collaros has realized that Wolitarski is an option. Good to see.

The home page of the Wall Street Journal (far from a leftist rag) earlier today doesn't look so good for Trump.

So the Kenney War Room/Inquiry against environmentalists is really just a way to reward loyalists. Colour me shocked. Inquiry commissioner Steve Allan handed $905K sole-source contract to son's law firm CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2019 6:00 AM MT | Last Updated: November 14 The commissioner heading Alberta's public inquiry into allegations of foreign-funded reputational attacks on the province's oil and gas industry personally handed $905,000 in legal business to a Calgary law firm in which his son is a partner. The contract was issued 11 days after Allan was named by Premier Jason Kenney to head the $2.5 million Public Inquiry Into Funding of Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/inquiry-commissioner-steve-allan-handed-905k-sole-source-contract-to-son-s-law-firm-1.5358866

Playing the Riders after their bye week is much more preferable than playing the Stampeders after a bye week. I was relieved that the Riders won the West after we couldn't.

I get that speculation is fun and all, but no one can accurately say how well or badly the Bombers would have fared if Nichols didn't get hurt.

So I took a little time to check the box scores of the 3 Wpg-SSK games and I really don't care if Fajardo plays or at what percentage of 110% he will be able to play, as long as the Bombers win the turnover battle. The Bombers won T.O.P. in every game: 33:16/26:44 L 34:26/25:34 W 30:16/29:44 L 97:58/82:02 Total. (We had the ball an entire quarter more, over 3 games). Total offense for all 3 games showed a difference of just 14 yards (1058/1072) 347/370 341/303 370/399 So how did we lose 2 of 3? Labour Day was just a blown game, but even with Streveler, it could be argued that our offense was more solid based on the TOP. Streveler threw interceptions on the Wpg40 and the SK35. Fajardo threw picks on the Wpg12 and Wpg29, so both teams gave up good opportunities. No lost fumbles that game. Game 2's win was clean and dominant for Winnipeg's offense. Fajardo threw a pick at the Wpg14 and fumbled on the S40. TOP was not close. Game 3's loss: All I'm going to say is Streveler threw picks on the SK17, the SK goal line and fumbled at the SK 29. SK did not turn over the ball that game. Even with Streveler (and without Harris for 2 of 3) we controlled the clock. Just some unfortunate and untimely TO's did the Bombers in. Fajardo (while better than I think we give him credit for) and the SK offense do not strike a lot of fear in me.

My Bomber highlight of the year (so far). https://www.cfl.ca/2019/09/07/streveler-is-a-man-on-a-mission/
