I type this just moments after the Montreal Alouettes lay a first class boot-kicking to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. If you watched this game, I just ask you this. Does Michael Bishop look even worse to you than he did last year? He was TERRIBLE!!! 12 of 34 for 149 yards with two picks just doesn't cut it. Yeah, he was playing against a Montreal defence that is probably the best in the CFL, but he just looks bad.
You can see the frustration starting to set in on Mike Kelly when it comes to Bishop. I would have loved to hear the conversation in the 3rd quarter when Bishop called a time-out and was told by the coach that he missed the play coming into the huddle. Glen Suitor then saying after the conversation was over that Kelly threw his challenge flag down the sideline. Do you think Kelly regrets getting rid of Kevin Glenn now? Even Ryan Dinwiddie could do a better job than this. It certainly says the Stefan Lefors experiment is over when he doesn't even come in for some mop-up time.
I can't see it happening until after the Banjo Bowl, but would the Riders dangle Steven Jyles out there. It depends on a number of things like the development of Darian Durant, but it is so obvious the Bombers need someone who can lead them down the field and not someone who appears to be as clueless as Bishop right now. Perhaps they can get Kerry Joseph!

I'm not really sure what Tiger Woods had on his mind at Round 3 of the PGA championship, but he has allowed for what should be an interesting final round. All of those chasing Tiger actually made up some ground on him as the world's best player decided to have quite a conservative round in which he had to do some scrambling to save par on several holes. Chances are he still wins, but the coronation isn't as set in stone as I thought it might be playing the final 18. For some reason I think Padraig Harrington might spoil Tiger's party. The fact he isn't playing with Tiger in the final pairing may really help him. Tiger won't lose it, but Harrington might win it. By the way, who is Y.E Yang!!

I don't know what to expect from the Rider game tomorrow. It depends on the forecast. A rainy afternoon may mean a rather comedic night with both teams struggling to hold on to a slippery football. Hopefully the elements don't come into play. I think the Riders win this one, but I also think it will be a game that will go right down to the wire. I will say that I think Mr. Dressler will have a big game.

Congrats to the Regina Thunder. They beat the Saskatoon Hilltops 26-23 at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday night. They are 2-0 on the season.

I guess bizarre things happen to bizarre people. And Mike Kelly certainly is that---bizarre. Anybody who would walk into a fairly stable organization like the Bombers had and gut the team like he did, probably deserves a little karma. You know where A**holes usually get exposed---right over the toilet bowl. They're certainly there right now. Good luck Winnipeg, hahaha!

Kinda sad that you didn't give more play to the Thunder beating the Hilltops. Second time they have beat them in 21 games...c'mon Mitch, you're better than that. It's a bigtime local story you buried at the bottom of your article.
The Regina Thunder and junior football. PFFFTT!!! Really how many were there in the stands 200-300 people. Its insignificant! The Thunder are just players who are too dumb to go to University or who aren't good enough to make the Rams.
I get the feeling the rain will make today's game a comedy of errors. It could be one of those games where the team that scores the first TD wins. Oh it would be nice if we had a dome this afternoon. Oh well!!!

The Bombers QB situation is a total mess- where's Casey Printers?
