The Corbett Report, September 21, 2018

September 20, 2018

Introduction It’s the 13thgame of the season and it’s come down to this. After just 12 games in a season that started with so much promise the Bombers find themselves in a pivotal game that may have implications, not just for this year’s playoff hopes but for the franchise for years to come. After 12 weeks […]

The Corbett Report, 2018 Banjo Bowl edition

September 7, 2018

Introduction There was a hint of frost in the air earlier this week in Kenora and that’s a sure sign that the CFL schedule is entering its second half. That and of course the back-to-back series between the Alberta rivals Stamps and Eskies, the QEW rivals Argos and Ti-Cats and of course the Prairie rivalry […]

August 16, 2018

Introduction It’s been that kind of a week in Winnipeg. Nominations closed for Mayor and many Bomber fans have penciled in Chris Streveler as their number one choice to lead the city and their team. As usual in the Peg, the back up quarterback for many is the most popular guy in town. After all, Matt, […]

August 9, 2018

Introduction Serena Ryder rocked Harbourfest last weekend so fitting that we start with a song from her. Bombers are coming off the bye week and when they opened the sports section (do people still buy newspapers) they saw that they’re right were they were when they left, i.e. in 3rdplace. What’s also happened however is […]

July 25, 2018

Introduction Here’s a fun fact from last week’s Argos game. Andrew Harris had more yards offense than the entire Argo team (179 to 171). Talk about a dominating game! As dominating as Harris was, however, last week was definitely a bounce back game for the entire Bomber team. After that horrendous 2ndhalf in BC the week […]

July 6, 2018

Introduction Thanks to Melanie and Bill Cox for this week’s opening song. Rumour has it she was growing tired of my repeats. The opening song reflects what was a common refrain last Friday night after the Bombers (who looked so promising the week before in Montreal), were embarrassed 31-17 in Hamilton. A week earlier it […]

Introduction Greetings! Welcome back to another season of the Corbett Report. I know, I know, that’s the second year in a row for Petula Clark, but really for the first game of the year, when all hope is restored and there’s optimisim and excitement in the air, what better way to begin the year. Except…….about that […]

Grey Cup 2017

November 26, 2017

Greetings from Ottawa. Apparently there’s some sort of sporting event on later today! Calgary seems to be the odds on favourite but I don’t think you can count Toronto out. Not with Ricky Ray behind centre. I’m hoping for a close game and in the end: Toronto 33 Calgary 30 Have a great Grey Cup […]

The Corbett Report, October 28, 2017

October 27, 2017

Introduction A month ago the Bombers were penciled in as the only legitimate contender to Calgary in the West. With both the Riders and Eskimos mired in losing streaks and the Bombers rolling over their opponents with sensational offensive performances, it seemed that the Bombers were just one Calgary lose and a Bomber win in […]
