First tweet, zero followers. Starting off with 1954 Blue Ribbon CFL #1 Jack Jacobs, QB legend. #Bombers

An autographed card from Ron “Pepe” Latourelle at the @Wpg_BlueBombers game this afternoon. Apart from playing for the Bombers through the golden era with teammate and then coach Bud Grant, he was a high school teacher in Winnipeg.

Met 91 year-old @Wpg_BlueBombers Alumni Bill Smitiuch at the game today! Sharp as a tack! He played with Bud Grant and told me Bud became coach and came to his senses and cut Bill from the team. 😆 Wonderful gentleman! Cheers Bill!! This is his 1956 card!

Blue Bombers Game Day. 7-7 and fighting for a playoff spot in a Grey Cup hosting year. See what they’re made of. 😤 Beautiful fall day for a game in the Peg. ☀️

Congratulations to Mike O’Shea. Counting regular season, playoff and Grey Cups the Blue Bombers win v the RedBlacks was #123 for O’Shea. That’s one more win than the ‘Silver Fox’ Bud Grant had. Making O’Shea the winningest head coach in Blue Bombers history. Bravo Coach O’Shea

A brief overview of the evolution of Canadian football which I use with my students (we have a class dedicated to reflecting on changes, how they were debated and what the debates reveal about Canadian mindsets)

Keep the field at 110-yards, and I am behind all of these. Not how *I* would have done it, but I can see how it improves the game and keeps our differentiation. 110-yard field length has been around for over 125 years, so it kills me to see that changed.

1921 Canadian football went from 14-players a side to 12. 1929 we introduced the forward pass. Up until the late 1960s there was no blocking on returns; TDs were worth 5-pts until 1956, there was no 2-pt convert until 1975, etc. I don't love ALL the rules, but we needed changes

So when we look at non-endzone targets, CFL QBs target the middle third most often, then the right side, then the left. They also have the most success targeting the middle by most metrics. Then in the endzone, they target the middle third the least, and have less success in at

Now obviously this shows that QBs have success over the middle in the endzone. But that doesn't mean the goalposts aren't a factor. Non-endzone targets since 2022: Left 3rd (30.6% of attempts): 4158/5804, 8.75 YPA, 93.6 rating Middle 3rd (37.2%): 5166/7058, 9.61 YPA, 98.2

I did it in another tweet but I'll lay it out here in a thread. These numbers (since 2022) are simply looking at left, middle, and right, regardless of field/boundary side (and this includes 2 point converts hence there being more completions than TDs) left 3rd (32.8% of

Blue Bombers played on a 100 yard field with 15 yard end zones back in the day they played at Osborne Stadium. Seems everything old is new again.

We'll always have this moment

I’m ok with all of these changes. The only one that gives me pause is the removal of the magical 55 yard line (the 110 yards field no more). Goal posts, rouge changes, play clock, end zones… 🤷‍♂️

@jeffkhamilton New name. Norther Football League. NFL. Hope nobody has a trademark on that.

On the plus side, if they announce a change to 4 downs the Bombers offence may get to 4 completions in a game… 😜

@TSNDaveNaylor @jeffkhamilton Major changes. Perhaps Ben Major is now reffing all the games.

Passing shmassing. It’s over-rated. Just WIN. 😜 #ForTheW
