bonfire burning point and this was Kenny Lawler's sixy touchdown that capped a nine playay 80 yard drive that put the bombers ahead 2318 the first half was a defensive battle second half things opened up and there was um really the beginning of that uh the beginning of that third quarter where it was like w boy the Rough Riders definitely made some uh halftime adjustments boy oh boy yeah barleton mcbark looks like I was a little bit spooked there I'm not sure maybe maybe yeah I mean uh I'm definitely not myself right now what does that mean uh if if I look a little pale or a little flush or

hit that thumbs up do appreciate that a lot uh got another Super Chat from Ryan FZ and of course when he throws the dollars gotta pay the man gotta Play The Man uh FZ says I had to put uh in another donation to say I think strer padded Brown on the back to say no ill will from him I I didn't catch that that's interesting uh why don't we get right into it okay uh there was a sequence in this game where uh this is what I'm doing is I'm pulling up the sequence uh where this all happened um here we go oh not that one there's a look at the Instagram live here's Chris strer on second and two and throwing a deep downfield oh what a shot that was to Kenny Lawler but there's Chris strer down on the ground writhing in pain uh left knee we'll get a better look at Miles Brown coming down on his knee and of course this opens the can of worms that really was it reopens the can worms I was already open on Miles Brown his hit last week on Zack Karis uh got a video breaking down all the Angles and the slow motion look so you can really that so often is worse than it can look that is a tough tough shot for Chris trer to take he did not return to the game we saw a lot of um or we saw a little bit there's Wade Miller uh outspoken of course uh following that hit on Zack colaris in the Labor Day classic and of course number 90 miles Brown again uh look lots of people out there talking about you know like FZ and set off the top um you know oh they're saying he's not a dirty player look look I'm gonna pause this and put myself on screen because this is important I do not think Miles Brown is a dirty player okay dirty player it's not something you can just throw around okay miles Brown I really do not believe is a dirty player I don't know miles Brown I've never spoken to him I've never been in the same room as him as far as I understand or know um but miles Brown look he's playing football and do I think the hit on Zack colaris was avoidable did he need to twist his shoulder into it like he did no uh you can uh have a good look at that uh on our YouTube page I got a video up there breaking it all down um but um this play in particular I don't think it was dirty either it's tough when you're when you're coming down you're kind of being taken down from behind and you're you're trying to tack you know sack the quarterback um it's tough I'm not going to blame miles Brown for for playing football see he's got no issue with it really either do I okay there's Terry Wilson warming up there's Chris trer here maybe we should get a proper look at it uh Chris trer limping back to the blue bomber sideline he did not play again so missed uh the rest of the third and the entirety of the fourth but here's a look at it miles Brown defensive tackle I think you're going to see him right there on the right side of your screen okay and he finds a way to slip through and he is essentially being taken down I don't think you can blame a player for that hit it's sucks hate seeing any player get hurt especially hate seeing quarterbacks get hurt because we should protect them there was nothing wrong with that play okay tell your friends tell your friends because there was a lot said this week about the Regina media the Winnipeg media homerism all this stuff okay I call it like I see it right I try to be as objective as I can I did have an issue with the miles Brown hit on Zack colar in the Labor Day classic I did not have an issue with this hit from Miles Brown on Chris trer what say you hit up the live chat hit that thumbs up if you haven't yet uh there is head coach Cory mace talking to Miles Brown following that play um offsetting penalties on this it was uh Blue Bombers backup offensive lineman Micah vanterpool playing his second game in blue and gold this season um sh was in good spirits after the game so that is positive I don't think this is a serious injury as in you know potentially season ending or whatever but that's a painful one and uh there was a lot of reviews and that sort of thing for uh pass interference downfield and offensive pass interference potentially um but in the end it was mik vanterpool who had the offsetting penalty uh that ended up bumping the Blue Bombers back but um this was uh this is one of those plays people are going to want to talk about there's there's going to be a lot of people having a lot of opinions uh just based on on my uh Twitter and uh um you know uh Instagram and uh YouTube comments over the last over the last um you know week There's Chris trer being helped off uh or going to the tent to to get a proper um look at his at his knee uh Doug mcfadzen hope I'm pronouncing that right yeah he has to have more control of his body I I get that um but I don't think he could have done much more in this situation Phyllis he needs supplemental discipline there was a penalty called on the play and he had his whole body to tackle didn't need to Target the knees I disagree with that you know I respect everybody's opinion I do disagree with that he was being taken down um look we'll go back and and and take another look at it here okay um here's a look in at uh at Miles Brown coming from the middle of the line number 90 I think here he is right there pushing through and look at that moment right here this isn't he he it's not like look you see that right there that's the offensive lineman's hand on his hip happens on every play there's holding on every play in pro football okay I don't care what league you're talking about and don't give me this well the CFL doesn't do these things the NFL doesn't do no it's all the same he's being taken down by the offensive lineman he is going to the ground this is his left leg look at his leg this is his leg that's uh horizontal to the turf right here if you can see my mouse okay he does everything he can to tackle Chris trer as high as possible as high as possible this stinks I feel for Chris strer it's just one of those things it happens um but I had no issue with it uh uh let me know your thoughts in the comments um and great to see everybody uh debating it um yeah Sasha I'm on the same page as you I don't think he could have tackled anywhere else he was falling definitely um but there's lots of good things that was kind of a a crummy moment in the game there was a lot of good things that uh that happened as well um Winnipeg at that point was uh they did pick up the first down and I believe that led to a uh a score but I want to pull up well you know what let's look at the stats before we we pull up any more highlights let's take a look at the stats uh this is the Saskatchewan Rough Riders how come I uh let me see let me see if I can try something here I don't know why I got it like this anyway uh Trevor Harris did not throw for three 68 like he did last week through two picks both to Terrell Ford uh was 63 a half% 287 yards two touchdowns and the two picks uh Frankie Hixon couldn't really get much going only nine carries 5.1 yards per carry um and had a couple catches for 28 yards as well keian Schaefer Baker that 81 yard catch and run on the second play of the third quarter set up the Saskatchewan Rough Riders touchdown that got them back into the game uh do I got it here I want to make sure I got it to show you guys um here we go uh it put the saskat and Rough Riders up 17713 as really they uh trailed for the majority of the game this was their first lead of the game it started with uh that quick hitter and I'll just fast forward here to the big play uh 81 yard catch and run from Keenan schaer Baker why is he so wide open hey you know uh kind of making Brandon Alexander look silly there that's great Yak yards great Yak ability to take good lines and uh avoid his uh avoid the tacklers but uh Keenan schaer Baker bombers in zone coverage clearly and uh just fools Brandon Alexander there and does a great job as I mentioned weaving on Alexander to get down and set up the Saskatchewan Rough Riders first touchdown of the second half uh just one of those moments that could have led to the saskat and Ru Riders Victory but no they lose well I shouldn't say they've lost seven straight they're winless in seven straight they're 06 and one one top Samuel emilis touchdown puts them in front 1713 06 and one in their past seven games and the CFL standings uh as we looked at a moment ago very different looking

lots to get to on the show we've been talking about miles Brown Chris strer and then Terry Wilson needed to come in for him uh whether that hit was dirty or not versus the one last week in the Labor Day classic uh we talked about Tyrell Ford who is definitely now on the uh on the um you know the the Consciousness level across the league as maybe the best Canadian in the CFL today uh fifth and sixth interceptions of the season in the 20th annual banjo Bowl have him in a tie for the most in the CFL and um well you know wb's Warrior Westwood wide to the right the happy Honker the bonfire burning point game balls all those good things we're going to get to but uh from the game itself what stood out most to you in this bombers win they're fifth straight yeah you know what stood out to me Darren is they got it out another close win they have not been blowing teams out they've been winning the close ones because they make one or two more plays than the other team and whether it's uh the Tyrell Ford interceptions whether it's the Willie Jefferson block uh punt which really changed the game I thought because turnovers were a story whether it's the Kenny Lawler catch at the end of the third quarter after he had a 25 Yer this the next one he catches behind his back very acrobatically so I thought it was it was little little plays like that that that helped the the bombers Come Away with the win Winnipeg only had 280 yards of offense skatan had about 80 yards more than we did but the bombers you know they didn't turn the ball over they didn't have a big play so scaton had two huge passes bombers did not have one big play on on offense or special teams right but they didn't turn the ball over Karis didn't throw an interception and you know there were times where Karis threw the ball away where he slid at the end of the game with 105 left for Sergio Castillo to to make it 2621 and he came up clutch when he needed to and and it reminds me of the old saying uh that uh that O'Shea makes about quarterbacks is that their job is to win the game and Zack clar is he wasn't spectacular today but he did enough to win the game so I thought I thought the bombers did the little things it wasn't super pretty but they won the turnover battle three zip look with the two interceptions I I I agree with you and and sorry to interrupt you I I do apologize the the conversation around Zack Karis look Mich o Shay wants his team to play complimentary football when the offense isn't doing well the defense picks up the slack the Special Teams pick up the slack and vice versa Karis threw for 218 yards in the first half before being knocked out of the Labor Day classic a week ago today he throws for 231 which is pretty much his yardage total in La last week in the first half okay however this was a defensive battle in the first half and things opened up in the second half he went 74 or 77.4% please and thank you I'll take that over a lesser number and 350 yards okay no picks had the touchdown to uh Kenny Lawler and a quarterback efficiency rating of 108.4 yes uh Ola averaged the numbers are way down you have a thought on clis go ahead no it's just you know I thought kis played well right and that's what if Karis if Karis had those numbers in some of those losses those close losses they had Darren you know where you know if he hadn't turned the ball over throwing ill-timed Red Zone picks the bombers the bombers would be free and clear in the west division they they would be what are seven and six so 13 games I could easily see them like 10 and three honest honestly like so this is what you need from Karis and I thought the other thing the bombers did really well because Saskatchewan is the best team in the league defensively at taking away the Run Oliva has been able to do nothing on the ground against them in three games but what they did so well today was throw the ball to Brady Olivera on second and down as a as an outlet what they used to do with Nichols and Harris and I thought that really really changed the game for the bombers they got three or four key maybe pull up Al Vera's catches because I think he had 60 yards uh catching the ball out of the back field and I don't know how many second Downs it looked like he had three or four and I thought that was really key for the bombers to keep the chains moving against a good pass rush with Kendall Randolph on left tackle in a place where he doesn't usually play they you know get the ball out quick six catches seven targets six yards so 10 yards per catch three second down conversions uh a large of 18 and uh 56 Yak right it's the checkdown game okay it's the checkdown game if 56 of his 60 yards were after the catch this is effectively running the football so when they're when you're when you're saying oh Brady had 11 carries are 43 yards less than four yards per carry he's not running the ball well look listen to me pulling up the the solo cam for that listen to me okay when you're playing a good run defense you find ways to get the ball in your Playmakers hands and if they're good against the Run maybe you don't just put the ball in Brady's belly and go jumbo package and and try sweeps and try counters and try um you know Dives or or off tackle or whatever do different things this is very emblematic reminiscent very reminiscent of the Paula police offense where he would run Andrew Harris as a receiver you have thousand yards receiving that one year thousand yards rushing thousand yards receiving remember that this is what you do this is game planning this is good coaching this is good scheming if you're going up against a good run defense shitzy I know you know this I'm not I'm not talking to I'm talking to everybody out there Brady doesn't have any rushing touchdowns he didn't run the ball well he had six catches for 60 yards and 56 of those yards came after the catch that is running the football that's how you get it done kudos to Buck Pierce for a great game plan today to find ways to uh to to make it work and isn't it crazy that the bombers like what's your reaction when you hear that the bombers had 200 0 yards of offense in the whole game that is usually not enough to get it done but when you block a punt and you get two interceptions that is enough to win in the CFL if you're if you're you know they only gave up two touchdown drives the defense did enough but 280 yards is not very much in the CFL so in some ways it's kind of crazy the bombers won this game this was uh in the second quarter Brady Olivera with a nice 12 yard chunk that then uh led to another I I almost don't want to spoil it but hey Nick dempy uh got them into the score zone uh led to a field goal for them to take a 137 lead in the second quarter but that's what you need to do that right there is what you need to do Brady olera like I was getting text messages during the game shitzy they got to get Brady a touchdown hey I wanted to get him a touchdown yeah for sure I I get it okay I get it great catch there from Nick demsky great catch there I want to pull that back man that was nice great ball from Karis drops it in watch the Riders players converge look at that one two three four you could even say five down here okay that is good quarterback play and demsky climbs the ladder to find the spot and make the catch Darren after you show this one again a lot of people on the chat are talking about the time of possession the reason the bombers won and I think that's a really really solid Point uh if you can pull up the time of possession because I think when you have 280 yards of offense in the CFL you don't usually win and so they were perhaps just grinding out the clock and and got solid field position all night it's an interesting point time time of possession was an 8 minute spread it was 34 minutes for the bombers 26 minutes for the Rough Riders uh here it is here at the bottom of your screen okay um there we go you can see it here Sask 26 Winnipeg 34 um you know that's what they needed to do and uh it it worked really well great game plan uh great great game plan from the Blue Bombers and and just great um um execution on that game plan they you knew this game wasn't going to be easy the Riders were desperate the Riders were desperate and they're losing games by the narrowest of margins but you know they talked about it on the CFL and TSN panel or the CTV panel uh that you know the Riders are playing well enough to win and well if you're playing well enough to win um you should be winning I think is what Milt Sagel told uh um Jim Barker Jim yeah he seceded the point said yeah you're right you're right um that's a great that's a that's a TR like if you told me that quote that that if a team is willing playing well enough to win they should win and you didn't tell me who said it I would immediately know that was Milt seagull that is such a mil deagle thing to say he's like you're you're not as good as your record you're only as good as your record is he says things like that all the time yep uh great question from uh Rat River Rebel what's going on rat River Rebel thanks for joining us thanks for the live chat hey everybody out there we we got almost 500 people watching live in all of our social channels uh hit the Thumbs Up Hit the thumbs up it's that easy how many people are watching on YouTube can I even uh can I tell oh yeah I don't know can you yeah like uh a third of the people watching on YouTube uh have given a thumbs up so go hammer that right now okay and uh use the little share sheet and and Click Share send it to somebody send it to yourself watch the rest later um that would be awesome uh but great comment from um or question from rat River rebel I think I lost it oh yeah what did you think of the Brady Ola direct snap I want to pull that up here we go look at that yeah I missed that I was making notes on my phone and I saw sort of the tail end of that play oh man what are you who are you making notes on your phone for is it for me of course it's for you dude no it's for us anything for you anything it's for everybody watching uh here's the direct snap to br Vera okay second and two with two minutes left okay yeah it would have been uh a 50 yard field goal at this or pardon me a 41 yard field goal or something at this point where you could just you know bring in Terry Wilson or or run Brady up the guy this is great play design okay Karis walks away yeah okay hey guys I'm going to audible I'm going to audible snaps it right to Brady picks up the first down and then moments later okay this was there's Buck Pierce this was uh just a moment later I want to make sure I got this here uh a moment later it is second and five and instead of doing something kind of silly this is really really smart football like football intelligence at another level okay I think they uh they break it down here so second and five you can try to run a play okay Glen suda broke it down here you're going to try to find Brady Oliver in the flat they cover it don't do anything stupid if it's there great if it's not slide down and it will be a 39 yard field goal the bombers then extended their lead to Five Five Points is great instead of getting greedy with a minute left minute and a half left instead of doing something silly like trying to force something play smart conservative ball control yeah they won the they won the time of possession because they played smart ball control uh a moment earlier prior to the direct snap this is this is one I want to pull up okay this here is Terry Wilson coming in uh on short yardage and this was third and one picks up the first down Terry Wilson's an athletic quarterback man I would like to see more of him uh as the season goes on and I mean look you're going to go strer in the wedge you're going to go Karis under Center and in shotgun what I'm saying is I would like to see more of of Terry Wilson is as a quarterback taking quarterback style snaps uh but this decision here to go for it like look str's out okay yeah I'm bringing it back ster is out and the decision Michael Shay makes here is I got faith in my third string quarterback my backup short yardage quarterback okay to pick up this first down because I'll just let it play it would have been a 51 yard field goal we know that Sergio castio oh I did not mispronounce that Sergio Caso you had money Medlock you got Caso uh castio is going to be good from 51 he is very good from those longer distances I understand it was windy but it's at home it's to the South and they could have kicked the 51 yard field goal it would have been the safe decision but they go for it to keep control of the football because that would have put them up by five but there still would have been two and a half minutes left that's a lot of time so he's like guys let's go make it happen as conservative as they were a moment later like we like we showed on on the direct snap and then uh the the colaris slide when when uh the little hitch pass to olera wasn't open that was conservative football this was more risky football but calculated risk they pick up the first down and it allows Winnipeg to get that fresh set of downs continue to kill the clock and take it from three and a half minutes down to just over a minute which is a at that point yeah Five Points you say it's a one possession game but when it comes to the clock that was a onep possession football game and to me that was my bonfire burning point that decision right there because that killed the clock the clock was the game tonight that was my bonfire burning point what do you got that's a good burning point and just just to piggyback on what you're saying they make a really good point to to highlight that that Terry Wilson short yardage plunge which was successful on third down late in a two-point game like nursing a two-point lead are you kidding me like that that takes that takes guts but it also goes to show like like it's the the short yardage play looks easy from a fan perspective like you're just watching oh yeah you just kind of run forward a little bit find the soft spot in the defensive line but like for the third string quarterback to come in when he hasn't done it all year to get that first down I think that's a really good burning point it's not my burning point but I think it's a really solid burning point I also want to draw attention to the lucky Whitehead sweep I thought Buck Pierce he pulled out the Ace in his sleeve buddy uh right at the end of the game when he needed to Lucky Whitehead comes in and I'm and I'm thinking it's like about a minute and a half left and I and I'm like what is lucky Whitehead doing in there because he hadn't really been in the uh starting offense all game and uh it's a it's a speed sweep to Whitehead which was executed perfectly and he gets about six or seven yards and I I just thought that play you know it was just unexpect expected and and he pulled out the Ace in a sleeve just at the right time I thought Buck even though he only had 280 yards to offense had a called a great game and the bombers did enough on offense to win yeah the only thing I would say on second and five with a minute and five left when when you showed that play where Kara smartly rolls to the right doesn't see anything open particularly Oliva which I think you're right was probably his first read given how they were using Ola out of the back field he slides smart play I I have no problem with that what I wonder and John Hodge posted this on Twitter our friend at three down Nation he he thought the bombers should have just pounded the ball there with second and five and if they get close to the first down go for it on third down I thought that you know he he makes a good point there like then again if this play works then then Buck P Buck Pierce is a genius right and like I said the Ola Outlet pass was open all game so I get why why they did that and and thank goodness Kara slides doesn't try and be Brett Favre and throw across his body at a receiver that's hey eie e's in the chat eie our good friend from illegal curve hockey show which is actually starting up this Saturday yeah as let us know in the live chat when IC fires up I know you guys got a show coming up yeah I think they have uh I think this is the last Saturday of no I see they took no I think they're starting up this Saturday well Saturday oh yeah did they start up today or next Saturday oh my God sorry Yi yeah um I I I showed this a second ago this stop from CJ Rivas this was a huge play for the saskat and Rough Riders okay second and six demsky picks up five CJ Rivas is not a big dude what a great tackle that was yeah that what a great tackle that was um that's what set up the uh M oade decision and my bonfire burning point to go for it uh on uh third and one uh in the short yardage what a huge tackle that was Monster hey give credit where credits do give credit where credits do oh I gotta get that off the screen hang on a second get that crap out of here 13th man boo so uh your bonfire burning point so I mean I guess this is where we have to get into one of the major game stories here Darren and I'm sure you have a clip of it but in the fourth quarter when the bombers I believe they were down I have it in my notes Here hold on the bombers were down in the fourth quarter oh yeah 1816 the bombers were down for the first time all year ster oh was the this what three Jewish guys doing a show on Shabbat come on aie come on don't you have some respect I mean I I get that we're doing the same thing yeah I'm fired I'll take it uh sea Reynolds I think was on their show this morning that I saw that tweet I'm sure it was an awesome show as usual um I thought so the bombers were down 1816 of course they go ahead with the Lawler touchdown as my burning point uh the six-yard touchdown when when Karis rolls out but the miles you got to talk about the miles Brown hit on hit on Chris strer uh the bombers were absolutely incensed the crowd I have never heard the crowd that angry I got to tell you that Darren never heard them that angry that is in the fourth quarter with the bombers down by two and it Sparks a touchdown drive that was absolutely crucial that the bombers had to have and that puts them ahead 2318 and they would never relinquish that lead and I don't know if the miles Brown low hit on strer galvanized the team per se you know they may have been able to do that anyway but an emotional response and what I mean by that is like I'm sure all of the bomber players were they were iate they were absolutely irate and to be able to harness those emotions funnel those emotions into a key game-winning Drive I thought said a lot about the character of this team the coaching on this team you could easily get out of hand with your emotions in that in that instance it's like when I was a kid and someone you know took a cheap shot on me and when I was playing soccer and I I could control my emotions right I just ran after everybody slide tackling slide tackling I you know get a yellow card or red card right as as as a team you have to take that energy and you have to funnel it in and they were able to harness it and and they they get the all important go-ahead touchdown I know you have the drive here but it brings up the main main sto one of the main stories of this game is what do you think of that Miles Brown hit on Chris strer folks you're seeing it right now he wraps up his legs it looked completely unnecessary he was he was falling but he followed through and that looks intentional to me I talked about this yeah well I just want to say he may have ended sher's season I don't know strer did not look good yeah I I hear you I I I hear you there um it didn't look I don't want to speak out of turn uh I interrupt you enough no I go ahead I'm interested in your take because I didn't hear you at the beginning of the show my pure ulation okay look that's that's why they pay us the medium bucks here okay uh pure speculation I think Chris trer will be okay I don't have any indication from O'Shea or the bombers or anybody like that okay no reporting Happening Here uh on this point pure speculation I think he will be okay um and I talked about it off the top of the show so for those that are joining uh a little bit later welcome hit that thumbs up um but uh the way I saw it um I'll bring it up here I talked about it off the top miles Brown's hit on Zack kis in the Labor Day classic to me was a penalty okay to me was unnecessary and avoidable this play to me was not unnecessary or avoidable okay um I'll I'll just keep talking I'll let it play as as we saw it in the broadcast on CTV today uh miles Brown beats his man there he is coming through okay on his hip here that's the Winnipeg Blue bomber's offensive lineman's hand he's taken him down miles Brown's leg right here horizontal to the ground there is nothing more he could have done to Elevate his body or tackle Chris trer any higher okay to me there is nothing wrong with that hit it wasn't late it wasn't intentionally low it hurts Chris strer you hate seeing that but I had no issue with Miles Brown's hit in the banjo bow I did have an issue with Miles Brown's hit in the Labor Day class CL that's the way I saw it so okay fair I mean you show video evidence that he couldn't really avoid running into strer and he's falling down so he's he's his point of contact is going to be the knees and Below but here's what I wondered Darren and like love to hear your take and people in the in the live chat your take to my eyes not only did he fall into st's leg it seemed like he went a little bit extra and wrapped his arms around the leg as he went down which caused the injury oh that was yeah sorry it wasn't in the fourth quarter was the end of the third sorry folks that's my burning point but um did did you think he needed to wrap up strer like that or do you think he could have pulled pulled up I mean look where his face is how does he know if the ball's out I have no issue with this none okay miles Brown yeah okay look I I'll even this is a a wider shot from what we saw a second ago okay there's miles Brown number 90 you see his digits clear as day okay who is he beating there I think it's tuy I'm not sure yeah I think it's twoy ell anyway forgive me I don't know who that was who he was beating I think it was 69 uh no vanterpool 69 is got the penalty afterwards no 68 is vanterpool and I know that because sry 68 was the penalty afterwards yeah yeah yeah I know that because I looked on the uh what's it called this is what I see okay there's miles Brown is he being held yes okay there's the hand on his hip he's being taken down to the ground round he is doing everything he can to use the power in that right leg to drive towards the quarterback balls in Chris tr's hands you hit the quarterback when the ball's in his hands yes ball's still in his hands ball still in his hands where's miles Brown hand down here hand up here playing football where's miles Brown chest is on the thighs where's miles Brown the ball is literally being released by Chris Trevor here well after contact there is nothing wrong with this play I'm sorry and I feel for Chris trer and it sucks it absolutely sucks I got no issue with this at all I I think you make a very good point Point Darren and oh argue with me come on people are ring on you but but here here's the thing here's the thing I I still you still have the fact that the referee threw a flag now are do they throw a flag because it's a low hit whether it's intentional or not is that what they throw a flag because it's miles Brown well do they is it is it roughing the pass or if you tackle a guy the knees and below it is so your point is it's not intentional but he still gets the flag is that right he hasn't even fully wound up yet right but is that what you're saying and Miles Brown miles Brown is contacting Chris strer here looks like his hand is touching his chest it looks like his miles Brown's chest is touching Chris str's knee and thigh area where is he hitting him the ball is still in Chris tr's hands he's hitting him in the thighs and yeah he comes down and kind of R why he get a flag why does he get a flag if he's h i don't I do not know but I can tell you as we break the film down there's no issue with this hit you can disagree with me everybody in the live chat disagree with me that that's cool love the debate if he's hitting him in the thighs then why does st's knee get injured he hits him in the knees which is a roughing the passer you can't hit a a play a quarterback in the knees isn't that that why did they throw the flag then yeah I hear you so you're saying they shouldn't have even thrown the flag for ruing the pass I'm not saying anything about the flag I'm telling you what I see I'm not here to uh uh you know uh chop up the officials and and what they do and and all that I'm telling you what I see in the play last week in Regina I saw an unnecessary hit to Zack karis's head okay and game Knight disagrees schnitzi you disagree uh Chris joyle I haven't even read this DB trying hard to be unbiased that he's going the other way he's literally bucking the guy's knees backwards and most everyone is in agreement even coaches owners players uh owners I I did I did I miss something I don't I don't know did did we hear from an owner I think he's maybe by owners he's referring to Wade Miller yeah but we don't know what Wade thinks of this hit because they showed him on the screen it'll be interesting to see what Wade has to say apparently there was some retaliation against Wade I don't know if Wade's GNA say anything and I say he's not probably not going to say anything because uh he probably got fined we don't know for sure but uh Dave Naylor uh alluded to that yeah he he got fined so so Darren here's says ending his contact below the knee yeah yeah the ending of it is but he didn't hit him below the knee he hit him up high he hit him in the thighs I've showed this well he hit him in the thighs and and came down on his knee well so so you're telling me when you tackle somebody you tackle a quarterback you have to hit him in the thigh and then let go before Noor that's not football that's not football but he wraps him up Darren regardless of where the ball he wraps him up and the ball is in Chris knee can't wrap him up below the knee he can't that's illegal that's why tell me tell me something schnitzi tell me something okay was this a late hit was this a low hit was it one or both of those things tell me I believe that it was a low hit I think you have a very good point that the ball wasn't out of his hands so I get why he tries to hit him because he doesn't see it and he's being pushed into him let remember let me finish let me finish let me finish down but it's a low hit because he wraps up as he's going down the thigh into his knee he wraps which but he's playing football illegally you can't wrap he didn't need to wrap him up who cares where the ball was you what do you want him to do here what tell I want him to fall into strer and you know he can't avoid that fall into strer but don't wrap them up with your arms below the KNE Z the ball is in Chris str's hands you're telling a football player to not wrap up when the player he's trying to tackle has the ball not below the knee he's not below the knee below the's the KNE Play it Forward Zack right there he's here's the knee and here's the KN then he slides down yeah because he's finishing his tackle you can't expect you can't finish the tackle below the knee that's the rules back you cannot expect somebody to tackle somebody and let go the moment he gets he starts up high in the thigh and the moment he gets to the knee you gota like come off of him I'm not saying but don't wrap reality I I think it is real I I never played uh dline but I think you can you can let up a little bit you don't have to wrap up and close down his legs as you fall forward he didn't need to don't have to wrap up how do you not wrap up when he's wrapped up and the ball is still in his hands how do you not what play it he could have just left his arms kind of dangling there it's coming here let's play it in slow motion I'll tell you exactly when he should have let up right there he doesn't need to wrap him up like that so you're telling me his face is in Chris trel's thigh right here miles Brown's face is below Chris treler waste and he's supposed to know that the ball is gone he's supposed to know not I don't give a [ __ ] when the ball's gone I get what you're saying that that he's following through on the T he's wrapped up he's wrapped up you're telling me the moment he's wrapped up and that the person he's tackling is still on his feet you're telling me he's supposed to let go right now and let the player just not get tackled yeah there is nothing the knee it's below the knee he can't he can't wrap up it's like it's like saying if you're a d lineman and you're going after the quarterback the ball's still in his hands and he's he's cranking it back to throw it and he hasn't thrown yet well you know he hasn't thrown yet so you can get him in the head because he hasn't thrown the ball yet you can get him in the head of course you can't get him in the head of course you can't get him in the knee you can't do it it's illegal that's why I'm not saying the refs are perfect but that's why he was flagged for the for roughing the passer and he's a repeat offender so I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one I'm sorry this is the third one he he rolled into Drew Brown and knocked him out of the game he knocked uh Karis out of the game last game with a head shot and it was a head shot you and I agree on that this was a dirty play I think I I I think you fought valiantly Darren but I'm gonna squeak this one out last second last second field goal Caso from from 60 yards I know it's it's to what I will seced is that we should never analyze plays by purely by slow motion or purely by still image but you're telling me that a player's chest is on a quarterback's thigh not knee hang on here he is right there this is his chest Chris tr's knee is the blue okay and you're telling me you want him to not finish this tackle that's what you're telling me you're telling me you do not want him to finish this tackle that's exactly what I'm saying dude you can't play football that way you cannot play the game of football like you're saying that you hit somebody and then you stop time they let up on a quarterback all the time Darren especially with the if the if you know if the head is exposed they let up all the time yeah completely disagree completely disagree all I got to say is this Regina experience Regina yes sir that's for you Pat rathwell organ one of the organizers of one of the organizers of the 1930 group bus tour who I've been talking this bus tour up Darren all the game today people were asking me how was we I'm like you got to go on this bus tour because because they take care of everything the ticket the ride the hotel yeah uh to and from the game uh going to Wayne's World it was just an incredible incredible experience and I tell people you actually save money you don't have to pay for gas you don't have to uh pay for a hotel you know when you buy in bulk when you're organizing these tours like rathwell and and Jeffrey Bannon and Tara maslowski right they get you deals man and all you got to do is show up and enjoy and party like 1930 crew they could easily fill two buses next year buddy incredible y yeah I I had the best time on the trip Shan you shot gun to beer buddy well yeah you guys you guys wouldn't let up we wouldn't let up but you had to wait some reason you had to wait till after Brandon to shotgun the beer it was an impressive shotgun it was good like I I did showed you guys a little farmer trick yeah tell us about the farmer trick I talked about it on the pregame with WBY too so like can of beer and you know like like at the top of the can so here's your can at the top of the can you got that little angle and then the lip right above that little angle right below that angle whoops let's go this way right below that angle is where the can kind of gets um uh thin again you take the tab off the edge the corner top edge of the tab is is rough because it's folded metal you saw back and forth on that thin part and it cuts open so then you got the mouth of the can and then right below the lip of the can you got an opening and instead of like stabbing it and shotgunning it like that for sure that works but this you can take a couple sips or shotgun it it just pours more like a glass I was proud to show everybody that uh I wanted to pull this comment up barflies who I always love seeing in the live chat I guess I'm in the mood for disagreeing with people ster is too wide for short yardage too wide yeah that gets my Westwood wide to the right tonight what does that even mean like his body is too wide I guess so yeah okay yeah Eric knows what's up experience Regina you gotta check out it just just Google Experience Regina uh tourism whatever on never get out of your head oh my God it is so funny like I actually it's such a Carter Chen show to me I I thought it was it was so bad that I thought it was a joke and then I thought if that was a joke it was brilliant marketing but it it wasn't a joke that was like they composed that and thought uh you know it would be a great uh great way to experience vagina yeah Charles Roberts my favorite player growing up okay well before I put my uh fan card in a safe deposit box at a bank in Transcona nowhere near where I live uh Charles Roberts was my favorite player uh franchise alltime leading rusher I'm going to pull that back up uh six straight thousand yard seasons from 2002 to 2007 led the CFL in rushing in three seasons 03 05 and 06 and was the most outstanding player in the East Division in 2006 the man they call blink goes into the Ring of Honor so welld deserved look at that man great to see that uh familiar face once again what an incredible athlete what a special special football player he was uh going right next to James Murphy which is uh is pretty awesome 21 and number one um I loved seeing that loved seeing that yeah that was awesome yeah you know and you know and everybody knows this because it's been talked about a number of times but Charles Roberts was had such raw talent that if he had maybe not smoked cigarettes and trained a little more can you imagine like he could have been even better than he was which is hard to believe yeah yeah he could have been even better but he he beat to the beat of his own drum he did he went to the beat of his own drum I mean I mean he really I I remember hearing I think he was on uh the handle internally podcast that the that Ed Tate and Darren Cameron do our buddies with the bombers and I I think he used to rollerblade back when uh back when we were in Polo Park he used to rollerblade two and from that was his that was his warm-up two and from practice but yeah he's he's an altimer he was a he was a tree to watch uh honestly I'd love maybe waiters can put together a Charles Roberts highlight video probably there is one on YouTube but oh I bet you he's made one I'll have to go look uh I'll have to go look by the way how speaking of highlights and TV how was the CTV broadcast folks because I was of course at the game I don't have cable so I didn't tape it so I'm only gonna be a able to watch waiters cut up which he does an amazing job at but how was this CTV broadcast yeah I don't know Darren what do you think yeah it was good like I mean I I congratulated uh Dusty uh good friend of the show Edmonton Sports Talk and uh CFL and TSN Dustin neelon uh caught him as I ran out of the building at halftime as I always do congratulated him on getting the call getting the shoulder tap to have the call with Glen sudor uh but there it is uh CFL on CTV back again this is the first of a handful of games during the regular season that they'll do um and uh of course the 111th gr cup will be on CTV as well but then yeah I mean YouTube does rule Supreme Jeff cabil is pointing out that waiters channel is greater than CTV uh totally agree with that um yeah it was good I know a lot of people were like messaging me this week they're like oh man you know like I I can't find a way to stream this you know how am I going to um you know how am I going to watch the game because a lot of people just pay for TSN and don't have CTV per se and they might have been out of out of luck I'm not sure how that uh uh All Shook out oh waiter's getting all the love today uh maybe even sorry sorry D even though it was CTV and people chime in on the chat here even though it was CTV they had the same commentators they had John L so was it just name yeah okay okay yeah it was like you know like like you look at the at the highlights or whatever you guys have seen them it was all the TSN Graphics TSN in the top left corner CTV in the top right corner and um in the end um I I'm curious like all the other games today are on TSN but I do know if you went to the TSN website and you like clicked on watch live or whatever like you normally would if you were just kind of streaming the game that it took um uh it took you to ctv's website so I don't know if people had trouble um had trouble doing that yeah well thank goodness for waiters I always rewatch The Game on Waiters YouTube waiters I mean I you know I pay for TSN I I you can rewatch The Games on TSN S I know you can but there so many YouTube is very convenient though isn't it yeah there's so many commercials on the rebroadcast on TSN if you have have TSN Go which which I do one bird how you doing buddy yeah fellow M of the tribe love you buddy love you buddy yeah um Darren these these bonfire hats just to digress here we were at shout out to uh I I just if I can quickly go I'll go Chris Redwing uh says tough look for CFL and TSN would rather do a college college games for one of the biggest games of the year that's not what happened here okay this game was uh showcased on CTV it's a bigger Network it's a non cable channel this wasn't TSN saying we don't we're not doing the game CTV TSN the Discovery Channel crave HBO what it's all the same company it's Bell Media right they chose to put this game on a bigger Channel a bigger Network and it's a long time coming I'm I'm a you know on the executive of the football reporters of Canada uh um you know our membership is strong we have uh you know all of our our members National and uh in in all nine CFL markets and Beyond uh we even have members in the United States uh we have been part of you know this conversation uh at a distance in this particular instance but about getting these games on CTV they they should be they should not be on a you know a cable channel they should be on a main Network the gray cup should be on a main Network right channel 2 Channel 12 right uh you got all the American networks CBS NBC ABC whatever uh in Canada you have Global CTV and CBC uh those are three different companies and you know without getting into all of it this game this Canadian game that we all love needs to be showcased properly so when you have the banjo bable which is the biggest game of the year in this part of the country naor Labor Day uh up there with it too it should be on uh on on CTV so Kudos I agree yeah like it that's awesome DB I think you make a great point in and we'll see is the gray Cup going to be on CTV I assume as well yes yeah okay but does that mean you can't watch it on TSN as well I don't know just CTV anyway just I don't know I just wanted to give a shout out to the organizers of the prair Rivalry bash last night at fins mol's at Grant Park uh they did an

sports.car social channels bonfire wpg um yeah uh you'll uh just text us 816 tips 816 8477 yeah baby yeah baby uh uh okay uh wb's Warrior who you got tonight let me look at my notes you know my wb's warrior my friend first I'm I'm gonna give my my honorary honorary mention to uh Drew wall Atari you could call it Wall's Warrior Drew alari was knocked out of this game early I think it was the first quarter on a on a key uh one of his patented second down conversion catches right he comes back into the game gets another uh niney catch on second and I believe it was second and 10 in the fourth quarter and he gets just paced as he's falling to the ground by the rider Defender and he he limps off the field and I just thought he he was tough he was tough he didn't end up coming back but I think that was probably precautionary but man he just takes big hits over the middle that's what happens to possession receivers like that and and he hangs on to the ball so kudos to Drew waltari but my warrior is Mike I don't know his middle name OA 1003 wins as a head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers folks passes passes the legendary Bud Grant at 102 in style for Blue Bombers wins 10th year as a head coach just an absolute Legend now is Mike O sha and I'm fairly certain there will be a statue of Mike O'Shea oh yeah 20 30 years down the line but you know what Mike OA would say I say this tongue and cheek of course Over My Dead Body uh it it may have to be a while there look look real talk there will be no statue while mik OA is the head this team Absolut no chance but You' have to kill him first literally over his dead body uh you know eat your veggies exercise get lots of water uh spread lots of love because you're going to need to live a long time to see that statue go of uh DB that's good yeah no he's my warrior people really want one of these oh I want one of those buddy that's beautiful well you want one of everything I make I I do I just Everything You Touch turns to Gold King Midas yeah buddy yeah uh free bonot for CHR trer because DB called it all wrong with the hit there you go uh the um uh wb's Warrior uh that's a that's a good question um here I I thought I had a I thought I had a comment I wanted to pull up about it um either way W's Warrior gosh uh I will go like look all the people in the live chat who mentioned um you know wallat tarski and Brady uh and strer um so many others uh Pat newfeld um yeah Pat newfeld would be a good one he got injured and came back I will give a wb's warrior to um I I'll give it to Tyrell Ford and the reason I'll give it to Tyrell Ford I want to see if yeah here we go uh the reason I'll give it to Tyrell Ford is not the interceptions okay he had two picks we talked about this um earlier in the show fifth and sixth interceptions of the Season uh give him uh uh a part or I guess you know a share of the the CFL lead yeah I'm with Peter D how about Tyrell Ford absolutely the interceptions were great uh the first one was really good the second one more Johnny on or no first one was kind of Johnny on the spot the second one was uh a very talented one uh skilled one at uh that sealed the game but it's this everybody talks about Roland Milligan and the work that he does on special teams he's outstanding I'm going to have a clip of Milligan and and redic cramy battling in a second but here's Tyrell Ford on one of the fastest returners in the league Mario Alford Tyrell Ford gets it done on specials as well when he was with the Blue Bombers in his rookie season of 2022 played about 12 games had a little bit of a injury snag but Tyrell Ford played majority of special teams that season spent 2023 with the Green Bay Packers no doubt he would have been a special teamer had he made the Green Bay Packers but he was uh amongst their Final Cuts uh of training camp Tyrell Ford is my wb's warrior tonight because not only did he have one of those games that uh really showcased his skill and his ability and and you know where he belongs I think in the conversation of the best players in the CFL like this guy's got to get paid good gracious pretty sure he's a free agent this offseason too it's going to be tough um I'm with waiters most outstanding Canadian uh probably right now um yeah club host leader but um well I guess technically not club host leader but he did it with the interceptions and he does it on special teams as well uh that's why he's my wb's warrior tonight I love that DB and I love that clip because it it shows you right like it's not just the ints says play on special teams and to be able to run down a guy like Mario Alford trying to break it outside uh for a fieldside return um is pretty incredible yeah uh Mike Miller had his struggles I would say first few games

the effects though uh lost TR well you're you could easily be a wall Beast Warrior for doing the show today buddy no way man no way because some you just got to do it you just got to do it um before we get into uh the happy Honker I wanted to pull up this highlight or I guess you could call it uh low light Frankie Hixon uh early in the fourth quarter this was following their touchdown uh and then Winnipeg's or pardon me early in the fourth quarter not the third quarter um when Winnipeg took a five-point lead Frankie Hixon tore off uh a 12 yard run and an eight- yard run here's a great look at it Frankie Hixon uh was really the benefactor of a phase of the game a moment of the game look at that parting of the Red Sea um a phase of the game where Saskatchewan really threw a tendency breaker at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and they started running the football very very effectively uh moments later here is uh here is a run from Frankie Hixon as well um this eventually led to uh a 10-play 70 yard Drive uh that brought the Rough Riders to within two they were able to to kick a uh uh a field goal but Hixon took advantage of what they saw in the Blue Bombers defense um and gosh I mean I understand like that's a tough Miss from uh uh from your boy Dietrich Nichols I mean look that's why running backs are running backs they make plays like that cut yeah that was good change of Direction yeah Dietrich Nichols job is to cover yeah he's got to make tackles but one-on-one with a running back running backs are going to win that I would say six times out of 10 um but Frankie Hixon uh really exposed not so I won't say Frankie Hixon the saskat and Rough Riders offense exposed Winnipeg's defense at moments in that game it definitely wasn't enough and I think that's why uh ball control time of possession that Winnipeg won by uh how much was it 34 to 26 uh 34 minutes to 26 minutes so winning that that time of possession battle by 8 minutes was a huge reason why Winnipeg won um should mention our good friends at pure Lifestyles and pure Winnipeg uh they are Winnipeg's Premier proactive Health Care Facility uh you can give them a call 338 pure uh and find them at 1129

Roblin who like got a lot of criticism for building Duff's ditch that's the you know the uh um flood Diversion the uh the the floodway floodway yeah yeah but prior to that it was like so expensive they thought city council was insane for building this pipeline all the way out to Shaw Lake they're like what what what are we doing there's there's land of 100,000 Lakes we got rivers and streams and lots of places for this small growing city of 200,000 people I think it was at the time um we don't need to go all the way to Shaw Lake and they did go all the way to Shaw Lake and thank goodness

I'm I'm done I'm done yum yum great digression from both of us yeah uh okay do you have your happy Honker what is my happy Honker my friend what is my happy Honker my happy Honker is Jake Thomas love it played his 200th game today folks not many football players especially ones that are like bashing and crashing into old lineman every single play like Jake Thomas plays almost every snap I think on defense the guy since 2012 2012 I still remember Jake Thomas in his first year remember that year folks just like this year the bombers started 0 and four their fifth game of the season they were playing the Steph Giles Le Edmonton Eskimos at the time and uh Jake Thomas stripped the ball from Giles sealing the win as the as the eskimos at the time were were driving to to win the game and uh that was 12 years ago like I got married 12 years lots of I was 30 pounds lighter 12 years ago a lot of a lot of different things happened a lot has changed since 12 years ago and who's still playing for the bombers but Jake freaking Thomas love that guy love it and at 200 games that's absolutely massive I think he's fifth fifth all time in Blue Bombers games played in his career uh I think schnitzi I think he was a fifth round draft pick maybe a sixth out of aadia University uh remember when uh like when he joined this team 12 years ago Twitter was kind of all the rage right and it was fat boy Thomas which he still has by the way yeah uh fat boy with an i fat boy yeah um and uh everyone's like oh my God you know like talk about making fun of yourself or or or uh having you know making light of yourself uh Jake Thomas uh deserves all the respect in the world for the career he's had for the um for the uh the path of where this team was in 2012 to where it is today uh as we see Zack Laris take his uh first of two knees to uh lock this one up the bombers win a fifth straight game and uh Michael Shay interviewed by TSN after the game oh there's Michael Shay giving the uh giving the crowd a round of applause here I'll let you let you guys take another look at that and there's Jake Thomas in the foreground too somebody uh oh yeah there it is Mike Benson winnipegger former Winnipeg rifle junior football player giving Jake Thomas A Little Love there and Michael Shay uh saluting the crowd um that's my happy Honker tonight I love the Jake Thomas call uh I'll give it to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans sold out this game in Late July the earliest sellout ever and while mik o Shay gets deserved shine and Jake Thomas gets deserved shine and Tyrell Ford and the bombers win five straight and they hand the Riders uh you know a seven straight game of of no wins uh the bombers fans that I got to see at the Labor Day classic in Regina Tyrell for uh the bombers fans I got to see at the tailgate uh as I did my uh hit uh in place of uh the great Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun big shout out Teddy we love you brother I know you'll be back soon hang in there Budd seeing the fans everywhere how special this Blue Bombers organization has become uh on display on a national network today the bombers winning a fifth straight all all the ACC all all of the things all the great things but huge bonfire hat tip to all of you out there uh and all of you out there that aren't even watching um tell a friend let them know uh because um I mean the Jets the gold eyes the seab Bears the bombers the university teams the junior teams hockey football Winnipeg rifles are near and dear to my heart I'm calling their game tomorrow uh at Maple Grove uh this city and the sports in this city puts us on a different level from everybody else that's my happy Honker love to see it nice well said buddy we love like here's the thing Winnipeg and this might you know it's it's kind of you know maybe it even goes without saying Winnipeg winnipeggers and manitobans love the Blue Bombers they love the bombers you see like I was at the St norber uh Farmers Market this morning Darren yep totally unrelated to sports great place but it's the morning of the banjo bowl there were there must have been one in every five person was wearing a Bombers hat shirt jacket you name it you saw it there Jersey they love the bombers here you see fans everywhere all over Manitoba especially in of course Winnipeg right but we've got great rural fans we've got people like my good friend Marne Kramer who's one of the moderators of one of the bombers forums who drives in from from Brandon every game you got people driving in from Dolphin my buddy Shane who has a great tailgate you've got people driving in from Saskatchewan Fort Capel Saskatchewan driving in for bomber games uh Jeff Richie one of our one of the friends of the show drives in from Thunder Bay for bomber games like the commitment and devotion that people have to the Winne Blue Bombers for me it is is something qualitatively different than the Jets I'm not saying people don't love the Jets but there's an emotional connection that that I think is deeper uh that's palpable with the bombers I think it has something to do with the fact that the president of the team is shaking hands like he did today Wade Miller's going up and down 128 shaking hands with fans you've got Carol Barrett you've got players that come out by the Bud Grant statue at the end of the game and uh our good friend Sandy Thompson who bought a hat last night Darren every game Drew wall Atari comes out to her uh at the Bud Grant statue after every game win or lose and she gives him an oh Henry bar because that's his favorite chocolate bar right and and she said to me yesterday at at this uh Prairie rivalry bash that I was talking about if he doesn't play in the game like if he's injured she doesn't give him the full size O Henry bar she gives him a bag of the mini O Henry bars because he didn't play and that's Sandy way sy's way of motivating him I think if you want the big Oh Henry bar Wally you gotta play next time get better heal up she says so it's just those little things where you you would never see that at a Jets game never ever see that at a Jets game uh the bombers have been around since 1930 you see people in Walkers and wheelchairs uh octogenarians at the game it's incredible buddy the volunteers it's just it's such a culture it it and I love it it it's it's part of my DNA and yours too Darren although yours you know yours is a bit different than mine right you're a reporter but man I just I love the bombers and the the reason the biggest reason I love them is because it brings us all together it just it's such a uniting force and a reason to get together win or lose and heck when you win it's that much sweeter it's the cherry on top yeah it's the full-sized O Henry baby yeah well said well said uh we still need to uh to get into our game balls looking forward to that uh look I love the debate that like there's a reason we call it bonfire Sports okay it's because we gather around and we talk and we debate and we enjoy the good and the Bad and the Ugly and and debate it all uh Canadian Advantage good to see in the live chat uh catching up Canadian V says I'm late looking at the Browns strer legal tackle there's no debating with DB he just gets red-faced and louder he will not listen to anyone else's opinion when he's adamant he's right you're right yep uh no I I I I joke of course um the reason I pulled that comment up is is because trying to disprove that exact point I want people to express their opinion you all out there all you great bomber fans or Ryder fans or CFL fans or whoever you are out there uh this this is why we call you fire starters get the conversation going let's be respectful let's have the debate let's disagree I hate the cliche agree to disagree it's more agree to debate let's agree to debate uh I saw it one way you saw it another way and the other person saw it a different way um this is the beauty of sports right it brings people together uh schnitzi you and I didn't know each other now we're best friends because Sports brought us together that's the beauty of sports I've been a a sports reporter and a journalist um lowercase j journalist uh not come on now come on you're legit because uh you know I've been that for a long time and and um you know almost 15 years now and the reason uh I continue to love my job is that Sports is like it really is a community thing it brings people together we get to do this here on the show uh people get to text the hotline and live chat and comment afterwards and share with their friends and find it on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter wherever and enjoy it right and and that's why I'm looking forward to to bringing some Jets hockey uh the hockey debate I don't think I need to remind anybody how much more heated uh that can be sometimes but uh looking forward to it uh it's it's a big part of uh of why we do this so uh everybody out there thank you give a game ball game ball to all you out there happy honer and the game ball nice nice they get double double play yeah just like you and me with the double we we got the double dip on the hats here oh this is such a comfy hat I got to tell you like usually I don't like wearing hat for too long but uh I've been wearing this hat all day you look good since about 9:00 a.m. it looks good it looks sharp easy for me to you look good you look good baby so game ball you want to do game balls I mean you just did a game ball to the fans so that's good yep who you got I got I got a few game balls what when you win back-to-back Labor Day classic and banjo ball and you basically knock the Riders back what are they now in third place and Edmonton's hot on the heels but uh yeah David aspland been friends ever since absolutely absolutely uh top shelf dude David as Blendon and so many of you um in the chat and at events that we see you at I love you all uh I I thought you know I think an obvious one is Tyrell Ford we we've already talked about him with the two interceptions now the first it was kind of gifted to him Kean Johnson fell in the first quarter but the second one was an absolute game stealer he talked about on the postgame in CJ B he just he just read uh he said he he read Trevor Harris's eyes and basically even before he caught the interception was like you're gonna throw that ball okay thank you very much but then of course it's the Special Teams plays Darren like you said where where Alfred tries to go out wide and uh he takes him down because he's so fast like this is an NFL level Talent who's playing in the CFL and uh I just I just love me some Tyrell Ford he's going to get paid and now he has six interceptions which ties him with the aforementioned Roland Milligan who's a defensive and special teams demons so way to go Tyrell like honestly Darren I wouldn't be surprised if if Tyrell Ford is up there for most of outstanding defensive player even like I I think he's that good now he's probably gonna get the Canadian although schaer Baker is is unbelievable as well Justin McKinnis Justin McKinnis has been fabulous but so Tyrell Ford gets one of mine I think Jefferson if only for that punt block I think that was such a huge play in the game turnovers really were the story of this game for the bombers they they did control time possession but they only had 280 yards of offense so that Jefferson seven foot wing span on the punt block was absolutely massive I'll give him a game ball I thought Lawler made made some tough catches he was the leading receiver tonight was 64 yards especially that Circus catch behind his back it was thrown a bit behind him at the end of the third quarter and uh I I have too many game balls probably Kendall Randolph held his own at left tackle again I thought uh and I thought Brady Ola was huge catching the ball had three or four first downs today in the first half when the bombers were loading the box he couldn't run the ball like you said it's basically an extended run play and I thought uh alliva quitted himself well made guy 56 Yak yards made guys miss in space particularly one cut he had and uh I'm going to give one more game ball because uh it's it's banjo Bowl which we won we won that beautiful banjo B trophy a week like two weekends that are just will go down in in the annals of uh of schnit favorites right the Liberty classic in this one with a prairie rivalry bash incredible but Zack Karis I thought he didn't turn the ball over he had a sparkling 77.4% completion uh rate he he he had a 10 18.6 efficiency rating he did not turn the ball over he had the touchdown pass he slid when there was nothing there he he just managed the game Super well and and I'm gonna give Karis one uh should I give any more what have I given six no that's enough that's enough uh love this comment from Matt Heyman Quit Playing Games With My Heart Jeff cabilis to DB Jeff he's a beauty great to see you last night Jeff great to see Winnipeg Gordo in the live chat one of my favorites to bump into at different bombers events and at practice and games uh Gordo says voters like stats so Tyrell Ford has a chance to win defensive player of the year yeah that's true that that is true and we got another Super Chat this time Sasha trying to again calm things down a little bit Sasha says uh play nice kids here if you behave you

swept their sixth uh Labor Day classic banjo bow home and Home Series uh banjol 20 uh as Dan asham says big win for the bombers today big win for uh a lot of people uh cabil is always on point save it for after dark guys here we are is it dark out I don't know is it still dark out I still got the fire going fire's going here it's 7 o'clock but it is starting to get dark these days around now and did anyone smell that crisp fall air just coming around the corner I love that when banjo bow hits it's officially like I'm on Fall watch I love fall I love it I love that season it is a it is a great time of year it is a great time of year uh one more hat tip to these two beauties with the new bonfire hats uh Chris Walby on the right Zack Schnitzer on the left Legends in their own rights as I like in their own minds too yeah and if you uh want a bonfire hat there is the number 816 8477 we will make them available uh for pickup for delivery uh but if you just want an early inside to those bonfire hats uh text the hotline right now and like that's I like that part it's a real deal baby had to get him done right had to get him done right I feel like we're missing something are we missing something did we do it all uh maybe maybe brain cells I do you want to argue some more on Miles Brown and Chris trer or uh no I think we laid it all out there I think we did too um oh I forgot to play this uh this was super cool uh TSN did this uh here's Roland Milligan who we know one of the best defensive players in the league great special teamer as well him and red at cramy battling but ky's job literally to spy to glue to ISO on Roland Milligan but there's his numbers this season uh 10 pass knockdowns leads the CFL six picks tied for first now because of course Tyrell Ford got an interception later in the game uh so him and Tyrell Ford at six AP piece to lead the CFL 17 special teams tackles and there's still a half a dozen games to play that's incredible to hit 20 in a season which I I I imagine he probably will huge number I think Mike Miller had like 24 in his last year with the Edmonton then Eskimos um before he signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers uh and then 90 defensive plays second in the CFL I think to Tyrese beverett but watch this again uh the battle Ric cramy had in the 20th annual banjo Bowl to keep Roland Milligan at Bay like it's almost like a double team with him and and uh Freddy Griffin um like is cramy holding yep yeah are they gonna penalize it maybe sometimes holding is on every single play and uh his job is to just make sure Roland Milligan can't get to the returner uh so big UPS to uh Roland Milligan but also to Ramy uh those two guys are two of the best special teamers in the CFL Tyrell Ford's there uh Winnipeg has a lot of unsung heroes and uh that's what we like to do uh here on uh bonfire Sports is draw a little attention to um you know number you know dude number 41 two three number 44 on uh the Bombers roster right uh some of those guys you don't uh don't hear from too much uh Curtis Perkins love you too man appreciate you yeah Curtis uh and uh Phyllis mentioning did you see the video for Ted Wyman by the bomber boys uh we did and uh I got I got so much love for Teddy man I miss him uh being in Regina without Teddy like I'm almost getting choked up here man um sure hope uh he is back uh real soon Phyllis gives her happy Honker to Ted Wyman I love that absolutely always a good happy Honker oh he could get a WB Warrior he gets a game ball you know uh uh hopefully he's recovering well and resting up and uh comes back very soon you're reminding me I Gotta Give I Gotta Give Teddy a call I got to give him a call uh but I'll send my best uh to him for everybody uh here at B we'll see you in two weeks yeah we'll see you in two weeks bombers are on the buy they uh open a home and Home in Edmonton against the Elks on September 21st back home on September 27th following this bye uh the bombers are in first place seven and six after own for start in a two and six moment where uh you really have to wonder uh a lot of people wondered at that time right now um wondered at that time where the bombers were going at two and six uh and and a head-to-head against the BC Lions but uh what a what a difference a month makes uh bombers have ripped off five straight wins and oh there it is I've been waiting for it chit see the CFL standings now updated the bombers seven- six BC 7- six why is Winnipeg in first they've scored 40 points less than BC well they won the season series uh Winnipeg's defense leading the way Winnipeg's offense doing enough right now and frankly I think they're getting better all the time uh back-to-back games against the emerging Edmonton Elks 4- eight on the season three and four on the road got that home win as well they're three and2 in the division which is better than everybody except Winnipeg and BC how about that look out for the Elks Calgary has already moved on from Jake Mayer uh forgive me don't recall the name of the the guy who was getting Logan boner boner yes Logan boner thank you appreciate that shitzy uh but bombers are uh bombers are heating up and uh yeah a bye week we'll see you in a few weeks for sure but we'll remind people that uh Brian finison maybe you know that name from uh the Winnipeg gold eyes but maybe you more so know that name from the level flight podcast he does um with Elliot rusen Holt and our good friend Winnipeg Sports Talk contributor Connor crabchek uh Brian finison is going to be doing a lot of work with me through Jets training camp and through the season he's wrapping up school at CMU um and um yeah so we'll see in a couple weeks we're gonna have some Jets content up very very soon here I'm absolutely freaking pumped for that schnitzi uh but that's after a good sleep tonight to uh shake off the cobwebs from this concussion uh that uh feel better yeah yeah uh feel better no yeah I'm gonna be good I'm G you're gonna be good yeah well hey last thought to you shitzy big thanks to of course um pure Winnipeg decom um pure Lifestyles uh check them out big thanks to everybody there uh Walby man that dude's such a a beauty great seeing that picture of uh the two of you wearing the bonfire hats uh text the hotline 204 816 8477 and uh schnitzi of course as always final word to you on just a happy day for bombers Nation right capturing a 26 21 win in the 20th annual banjo Bowl whenever you sweep the riders in Labor Day in Banjo B it's an amazing feeling but I think the bombers are starting to establish an identity Darren mhm they you know I was wondering like who is this team what is this team what do they do well and and I think what they what they do well is they do the little things well this isn't a flashy bombers team of 21 22 and 23 they are not lighting you up with 60 yard bombs after 50 yard bombs and five TDS like last banjo Bowl which which Zach Karis had five touchdowns there are lunch paale hard hat true blue Winnipeg team they do the little things well they outwork you they don't make stupid mistakes they're great on special teams they're great on fundamentals they're great at running the ball and Karis if he can keep this up is solid he's not gonna throw the bad pick he's gonna dump it off to Brady Oliva when he needs to for a key second down to Drew otari uh and and I just think that they do the little things well and they will they will Edge teams out that is their identity and that's their path to Victory every week they're not going to score 30 35 40 points most games they're going to score 20 23 26 and and if they can keep that DNA they can keep that Playbook going then this team could get first place in the west if they keep it going and have a home playoff game which was Unthinkable Darren at 0 and4 unthinkable two and six with the likes of the Riders and lions running away with the west division they've now won the season series against the scatch on BC and Calgary and they could then they haven't even played Edmonton yet so I'm just extremely impressed with the character of this team and I think I I I see this identity emerging that took a while because of all the young guys because of all the injuries because of the new coaches and Mike Miller and Jordan younger DB they are emerging as a hard hat lunch pail team and I love it I love it I love it well you know I'm waiting for those magic words as we bid a on another edition of game day after dark even though it's still light outside well my final my final rhyme for Rhyme Time is that was definitely a loow hit on my by Miles Brown and I'm thrilled to escort him out of town sanar everybody [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
