The Corbett Report, July 27, 2018

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 […]

June 13, 2018

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 – Issue 2017-SF – November 12, 2017 Winnipeg vs. Edmonton Channeling history Yes, it’s been 6 years since the Bombers last played a playoff game at home. That game? A 19-3 victory over the Ti-Cats in the Eastern Final that propelled the Bombers to the 2011 Grey Cup appearance (their most recent). […]

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 […]

October 12, 2017

Introduction Greetings! So after that solid, workmanlike effort against Edmonton two weeks ago the Bombers laid an egg last week in a lackluster, out of character performance against Hamilton. The result undoubtedly left many Bomber fans frustrated and pondering who is this team? What’s their true identity? With concerns arising again on the defensive side […]

Introduction If you had told asked me what I thought the Bombers would need to do this year to be a true Grey Cup contender I’d have suggested that they would have needed to at least earn a split against Edmonton and Calgary and go 70% against everyone else (which would equate to 11 […]

September 21, 2017

There’s certainly a different vibe at IGF this year. In season four at the new digs the Bombers finally seem to understand that home field advantage can be a real thing. Look no further than the Banjo Bowl and you’ll see the importance of a crazed fan base. It seemed that the fans were simply […]

September 8, 2017

Introduction Ahhhhhh, the Banjo Bowl. Game 2 of the mini season-within-a-season that highlights the Bombers schedule. For a short 7 days the Bombers ostrich and ignore the rest of the CFL and focus on their archrivals from the flatlands, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The first ½ of the double header is, of course, the Labour Day […]
