The Corbett Report, August 14, 2026

August 13, 2026

Introduction To say this season has been a disappointment would be a bit of an understatement. Sure, the team is 4-4 but let’s face it, they haven’t shown anyone that they’re capable of being Grey Cup contenders. Take a look at their 4 victories: Week one (road): A walk-off field goal by Castillo wins the […]

July 30, 2026

Introduction There’s a reason that football games are played approximately a week apart. I know what you’ve heard, it’s to allow players to heal and recharge. That, however, is a falsehood. The actual reason there’s approximately a week between games is for the FANS! We need a week to recover and regroup from the emotional […]

Introduction Looking below at the standings, it looked like this season was shaping up as the most competitive in years. But then last Sunday happened. That’s when the league saw two of its premier quarterbacks go down with injury. Bo-Levi Mitchell, with an ankle injury that, well quite honestly, looks to be season (if not […]

Introduction Interesting that the Bombers traded for Dru Brown this week. I believe it shows that they don’t have the confidence in Taylor Elgersma to be a solid back up. Or perhaps they see Dru Brown as their QB of the future! Whatever the reason for the trade, Brown’s two-year stint in Ottawa has come […]

Introduction Ahh . . . the home opener! The boys are indeed back in town. Well, more specifically one boy is back in town, he being Chris Streveler who’s here, not to play, but to celebrate his retirement at the tailgate party tonight! So what endeared Strevey to the Bomber faithful that would warrant a […]

The Corbett Report, Pre-season 2026

May 28, 2026

Introduction Training camps and, by extension, pre-season games are an interesting beast in a football team’s season. So many hopefuls are brought into camp. Off-season signings that seemed so promising can come up flat. Shoo-ins can sometimes be shown the boot. A team that takes to the field in the pre-season may not look at […]

The Grey Cup, November 16, 2025

November 16, 2025

Greetings from Winnipeg. Now that the pesky Grey Cup festival part of the weekend is over it’s time to actually, play some football. Here are today’s keys to the game: For Montreal to Win It all comes down to how healthy Davis Alexander is. If his injured hamstring is healed enough to get him through […]

Semi-final weekend predictions

November 1, 2025

I thought it fitting to start this weeks predictions with last weeks opening song. It really does set the stage for the Eastern Semi-final prediction Opening Song Against all odds (by Phil Collins) How can I be here to watch you play – just see you lose without much grace? When I sit here holding […]

The Corbett Report, October 17, 2025

October 17, 2025

Introduction Yikes. What a difference a couple of weeks make. Week 17 saw the Bombers ride roughshod over the Ti-Cats as they rolled to a 40-3 victory. Then a bye week. Then a road game in Edmonton that surely would see the Bombers continue their roll. Uhmmm . . . not so quick. The Bombers […]

The Corbett Report, August 14, 2025

August 13, 2025

Introduction A 4-4 start may seem okay, but lets face it, the Bombers of 2025 don’t look like the Bombers of the past 5 years. A win against Toronto came about due to a kickoff TD and punt return TD that allowed the Bombers to barely escape with a victory. A win against Edmonton, well, […]
