The Corbett Report, July 12, 2024

July 11, 2024

Introduction With a checkered past that’s lead through two NFL teams (Dallas and the NY Jets) and two CFL teams (Winnipeg and BC) Lucky Whitehead, at the age of 32, returns to the Bombers looking for a fresh start (and a break from his new-found gardening career). With the maturity that comes with turning 32 […]

July 4, 2024

Introduction Fun fact, the last time tonight’s opening song was used was September 20, 2012. At that point in that season the Bombers were 2-9 and enroute to a 6-12 season. It was of course, in the middle of their 29-year Grey Cup drought and the team had become the poster boys for football futility. […]

Introduction Unfamiliar territory for the Bombers as they head into their 3rd game of the season. Let’s answer a few questions: When did the Bombers last start 0-2 The last time they started 0-2 was 2016. In that year the Bombers rallied to post an 11-7 record only to lose by a point to the […]

Introduction It’s been 200 days since the Bombers last suited up for a meaningful football game. Tonight it’ll be a rematch of that game: the Alouettes vs. the Bombers. For those of you who might have forgotten (or have chosen to forget), the Alouettes won that game 28-24. A game where, for about 57 minutes, […]

Introduction Whether it be pundits with much greater wisdom than I, or in fact the Corbett Report itself, there have been many who have questioned whether the 2023 edition of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers still have what it takes to be Champions. Indeed, coming off the bye week in October and facing the Argos and […]

Introduction When we last chatted, the Bombers were coming off a bye week and heading into the two most important games of their season. Toronto at home and BC on the road. Fast forward three weeks and guess what, a few things have changed. After a pedestrian workman-like victory over Toronto and a stunning come-from-behind […]

Introduction The talk around the CFL before this week’s “marquee matchup” hasn’t been so much about how two of the premier teams in the CFL are going to go head to head in a rematch of the 2022 Grey Cup, but rather, who will and won’t start for the Argonauts. Having clinched first place in […]

September 7, 2023

Introduction Last week’s outcome should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, as has been said many times, the Labour Day Classic is a beast unto itself. Heading into the 2023 edition of the game, the Riders were 37-20 in Labour Day Classics dating back to 1949. What’s more notable is that, of the […]

Introduction If there was any doubt about the importance of Zach Collaros to the Bombers, that doubt should have been put to rest last week. While his replacement, Dru Brown did a stellar job in his replacement role against the Elks two weeks ago, the same can’t be true about last week’s performance against the […]

Introduction For real. Some of the comments on social media after last week’s meltdown at Lansdowne: Hell, the only one on the team that no one’s complained about is the kicker. Seriously? Aren’t these people the core of what brought us to the Grey Cup in each of the last three years? Surely, one game, […]
