The Corbett Report, November 13, 2022

November 12, 2022

Introduction Wow, so much hoopla last week over Nathan Rourke. Quite frankly I’m not even sure why the Bombers should show up to this game. It’s obviously going to be a BC romp. Nathan Rourke, even on one leg, is certain to dominate the anemic Bombers secondary and lead the Lions to their first Grey […]

Semi Final predictions, November 6, 2022

November 6, 2022

A couple of great match ups in the Semi’s this week. In the East, the Ti-Cats enter the playoffs having won their last 4 games and seem to have shored up their defense. Montreal is at home though so look for that to give them an advantage. Montreal 26 Hamilton 24 In the West it’s […]

Introduction Flashback It’s week 12 of the 2022 CFL season. The CFL writers (aka – the Golden Retrievers) are trying to summarize the season to date. Here’s the conversation: GR #1: Zach Collaros is starting off with a great completion record. GR #2 How about that Bo Levi, he hasn’t missed a step. GR #3: […]

Away predictions, October 21, 2022

October 21, 2022

The playoffs could be decided by the end of the day Saturday if all of the stars align. BC simply need a win over Sask to secure second spot in the West. Hamilton needs a win and a Sask loss to secure the final playoff spot in the East, and a Toronto win in Montreal […]

Away predictions, October 14, 2022

October 14, 2022

A lot on the line for some teams but not so much for the Bombers who have clinched first. I’m predicting a week of upsets as in: Ottawa at home upset Montreal Hamilton on the road upset Calgary BC at home upset the first place Bombers Edmonton finally get a home win with an upset […]

The Corbett Report, October 8, 2022

October 7, 2022

Introduction Okay, last week was a bit of tease. Now it’s REALLY time to bring out the “Frost is on the Pumpkin” cliché. You know, the one that goes “the Frost is on the Pumpkin and football games have even greater meaning”. Truth be told, October games of late for the Bombers have been all […]

Opening song, October 8, 2022

October 7, 2022

This week’s song is a repeat of last week (with 1 minor change). What with nighttime lows dipping to below freezing and the daytime highs barely getting to 5 degrees, I thought it fit perfectly with this week’s game. (Besides, it’s a great song and I’m lazy). Blue and Gold (Sung to the tune “Heart […]

Introduction Well, what the hell happened to summer? The frost is on the pumpkin as they say and so now football games have added meaning. As the opening song says, true Bomber fans don’t shy away from a little cold, so the 18 degrees (WTF??) at kick on Friday night shouldn’t keep the hearty Bomber […]
