Winnipeg Blue Bombers v Toronto Argos The fabled rivals of the Riders, versus the Central Canadians. How can I possibly watch the game? I don’t want either to win! Weather looks good. Forecast is between -2 and -10 C, with no snow. Decisions, decisions. 🏈🏈🏈 (We didn’t get tickets. Mrs P, the football expert, said back in July: “The Riders aren’t going to make it.” The head coach concurred back in September, talking to the media: “Truth is, they just aren’t very good.”) ---

The Bombers are trying for the first 3-peat since the late 70s/ early 80s Edmonton teams. That is tough to do and I wish them luck. If the Argos win there will probably be some excited people in Toronto, but not many I think ---

Watching the game on tv and the Cub wandered in. “Who’s playing?” he asked. “The two evil empires”, I replied. “Why are they evil?” “Toronto is from central Canada”, I said. “We’re in the West.” “Oh. and Winnipeg?” “They’re Winnipeg, and we’re Saskatchewan.” “But why are they an evil empire?” “Because they’re Winnipeg.” “You’re not giving me an explanation. You’re just repeating the same thing over and over.” “I appreciate it may seem tautological, but in Saskatchewan, this is an axiomatic statement.” {Lengthy discussion of logical terminology followed.} ---

I had forgotten the game was tonight – I just found it on ESPN2 here in the States. I’m mildly an Argos fan, having attended a game of theirs a decade ago, but this seems to be going Winnipeg’s way. ---
