So Brad, I know you must be loving the way the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are playing right now. I'm watching them beat the shit out of the Lions 30-10 right now.

If they hold on, they'll be the number one team in all the CFL.

(and for those wondering, yes, I do follow the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I pretty much follow one team in every major football league; always gooch smooch, always will)

That was a depressing Grey Cup, no?

BC beat Winnipeg 34-23.

So how bout them 2012 Bombers?

I'm glad I don't support the team religiously. Utter embarassment this season.

It happens, man. I just got done watching the Rockies' worst season in history but I'm still a diehard. Being a fan means irrational, ridiculous dedication.

2 and 12 FTW!

The only redeeming thing is it really can't get any worse.

Tough to watch this year for sure. Dunno if Max Hall is the answer at QB.

We need a reworking in every department. There isn't a single strong part of the team, it's all in shambles and I'm amazed we even won 2 games this season. The coach needs to go, and we need some stronger players on O and D to help bring those lines together.

Well that was certainly a good first game, eh?

Drew Willy slinging it all over the field. He throws a really nice ball, I think the Bombers have a real answer at quarterback.

Next game is against the expansion Ottawa Redblacks (what a terrible name), and then against Montreal. With how bad the Alouettes looked in their first game I don't think a 3-0 start is an unreasonable hope.

I can't imagine the Broncos not being on free OTA TV here in Denver.

Then again, if Broncos ticket prices were as low as CFL prices I'd go to every home game.

Another good game for Willy.

The Redblacks came out swinging, scoring the first two touchdowns of the game and leading 21-7 at the end of the first quarter. The Bombers fought back in the second, going into halftime trailing 21-17.

That's where Drew Willy really impressed me. He made some mistakes in the third quarter with two turnovers, but he showed a lot of poise. The turnovers and the constant penalties can be difficult for young quarterbacks to overcome, and Willy handled it nicely. Another example of his poise is when he checked down to the open receiver on their flea flicker. A less mature quarterback would be prone to trying to force the ball into the endzone, especially on a trick play, but Willy saw that the back end of the defense didn't bite on the fake. So he checked it down to the next option and took the big first down.

And Grigsby is a bona fide star already.

I fucking love football, man. I really appreciate the various differences between the NCAA, NFL, Arena League, and CFL versions of the game.

And since there's no CFL team in Denver, I picked the Bombers to follow from the CFL. It's always more fun to watch sports with a rooting interest. I've been following the Bombers for over ten years. And when my AFL team, the Colorado Crush, died I chose the Barnstormers as my new team.

That was a crazy game. A billion penalty yards on both teams, but Drew Willy lead the game winning drive and the Blue Bombers pulled a 34-33 road victory right out of their asses.

The injuries on the offensive line really showed tonight.
