For the turnstiles - and the Bombers

Oh yes .. we may not know what the fuck Sinclair is getting at.
but we can find an old Ebbetts' Field Turnstyle on the web!
Damn right we can! Now someone explain what Sinclair's getting at?
Ed's note ... yes i know it's Neil effin Young ... a Winnipeg legend
with a very famous sportswriting father Scott. So let's
just leave that at that and say it's a paean to a lovely day in autumn.
HONK HONK HONK! NORTH SIDE SUCKS!!! GAV

By John Sinclair - PTE Poet Emeritus
All the sailors
with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore,
Singin' songs
for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars
at the door.
You can really
learn a lot that way
It will change you
in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence
may be shattered,
It doesn't matter.
All the great explorers
Are now in granite laid,
Under white sheets
for the great unveiling
At the big parade.
You can really
learn a lot that way
It will change you
in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence
may be shattered,
It doesn't matter.
All the bushleague batters
Are left to die
on the diamond.
In the stands
the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles.

My friend Kirk just emailed and pointed out that the digi-cam in question was left unattended on a pool table at the Fraser Arms for at least 45 minutes and ANYONE might have shot the shit shot. Actus reus has not been validated and Kirk is scott free.

10 points to go!!!!

Just to reiterate the succinct call for ROUGE! Here is Steven Jyles who missed
over half of the game - why? - well because the Bombers wanted to test the arm of
a clipboard toting neophyte. Wooooo betides front office.
By John Sinclair - PTE Master of Brevity
ROUGE!!! (SIC? or SICK?)

Re: Beer lineup

It has been pointed out to me that whilst I compose, much is afoot, including the notable re-entry of Steven Gyles. Toe-tagged and embalmed, Brink has left the building for pedestrian compliances, and Gyles, whose TD pass to Edwards has pulled the Bombers back within 11, has returned to scapegoat the soon-to-be-finalized near-miss the Bombers will likely provide.

Beer lineup at the Bomber game - No Beer Cup snakes!

Johnny Sinclair - PTE Brewmaster
Aha those were the days my friend!!! Screw you CFL for outlawing this fine
Bomber tradition and get a life Mr. Mark NO COHUNES!!
Made it with one second to spare. (In Winnipeg the last beer is served at the end of the 3rd quarter)...

While I was away from my seat, another BC TD - but I have no idea how ... moreover, I don't care - the PA system is crackling out Harlequinn tunes and all relevance to the current event and era has been completely lost. Fans are sarcastically screaming enthusiasms about "enjoying the weather" while lamenting the dirth of beer-cup snakes (outlawed in August).

BC 32
Bombers (still) 11

Hi-Res photocopier Bombers and feces at the Fraser Arms!

Kirks Feces Fraser Arms! Yes this is in poor taste but it's
hard to find anything else of relevance.
It hearkens us back to a famous pic of mushrooms
back in the Manitoba Days!
By John Sinclair - PTE Special Investigations
10:28 (3rd quarter) - the woman two rows down has agreed to email me a 1024x768 photocopy of her bottom from Premier Greg Selinger's office copier tomorrow if I can procure her a colour scan of any reasonable likeness of ANY Bomber scrotum.
I met a guy before the game at Hooter's who gave me his SMS and he said I could have a Troy Westwood original exposure if I bought him 24 naked wings. I was broke, so I offered him a 7 year-old photo of my friend Kirk's feces on the toilet seat at the Fraser Arms in Vancouver - which he accepted in lieu of the wings as long as I promised him Kirk's cel number and a 6-pack of petroleum jelly.
Anyways, the deal is done and I feel that I've once again lived up to my role model.
BC 25 - Bombers 11

Brett Favre - Not a Love Story! - Hey old man - she's just not that into you!



Okay, just so you know. Attached to this original report broken by deadspin.com
back in August was the teaser ... guess who Brett Favre watched the Super Bowl
with last february? Tiger Woods! We tell no lies! 

By John Sinclair - PTE Sexting Expert

Everyone here's lost interest in watching the enamel dry (oh, another BC fumble), and the TOC has shifted to Brett and his teeny (painkiller-shrunken) weeny.
Would give my sportscar to be strollin' the pubs of the Meadowlands right now with a few Love Shack dildoes, a digi-cam and a #4 Vikings jersey.

Might get mauled but hey - if you show your junk around enough you might also get some non-remission sex, hey Brett?
(And all this is coming from the sob-story Vikings fans.)
Oh, punt return for TD for the Lions at 4:25 3rd quarter - Lions 15, Bombers 11.
Editor's note: Pardon the Eruption reported on the sexting scandal waaaayyy back when it floated in Deadspin.com back in August. No one was interested, but we at PTE had it and reported it!

A chance to score

Winnipeg - Bomber Frying Pan
Maybe this guy would help Bombers ... what the fuck am I saying?
of course Miltie would help ... sign him!
Bomber-Game-Day-Post #3
Forget the historico-literati references - this is an all out battle between Laurel & Hardy and with BC's fumble at 9:00 of the 2nd quarter and Fred Reid's 40-something run the Bombers have CAPITALIZED! 11-4 Bombers (FG, Rouge, TD, Convert).

Magna Carta and another Blue Bomber home game

Magna Carta and Bombers - Seeking solace from habeas corpus
Present the body!!! Please Bombers --- present da' friggin' body
John snapped this absolutely grogeous pic of the
Magna Carta - george bush was ahead of Sinclair in the line.
"I don't see what all the fuss is about!" said George.

Bomber-Game-Day-Post #2

Earlier this summer Queen Liz stopped by with a 995 year-old piece of parchment to assist in laying the cornerstone of Winnipeg's new human right's museum.
That parchment, the Magna Carta, spent its last day (today) in full view of visitors to the Manitoba Legislative Buildings. A quick stop along the way to the Bomber game to pay homage to the document that first laid out the basic tenets of human rights seemed a small price to pay on a sunny afternoon. Yet it makes me wonder, as I sit here at another Bomber game, if I will not soon feel as if I'm imprisoned without justification for another three hours during today's game, denied the same right to freedom granted in the magna carta:

No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.

Go Bombers!

On the Brink of something pedestrian

John Sinclair - Contributing Editor - Pardon the Eruption
Live from Winnipeg
Bomber-Game-Day-Post #1

In a perfect world, dog-housed Bomber QB Steven Gyles would be on the brink of a 6 game winning streak today against the BC Lions.

Instead, he holds the clipboard while head coach Paul LaPolice sends a Brink (Bomber QB Alex) to his own near-death experience.

And that's because anyone forced to execute LaPolice's unimaginative, predictable game plan might as well be toe-tagged and embalmed prior to stepping out on the field.

The litany and larceny of LaPolice's latest league losses leave no one but Mr. LaPolice himself to blame for the Bombers 3-10 record.

By way of evidence, a quick summary of the Bomber's last-minute offense in the last few games goes like this:

How about the call for Gyles to throw into triple coverage 38 yards down field on a 2nd and 4 with 1:40 left on the clock against Montreal a few weeks ago when all they needed was a few more first downs to kick a winning field goal?

How about the decision not to kick a field goal against the Argos with over four minutes in the clock in mid-September? (The field goal would have put the Blue one point behind and placed the game on the shoulders of the highly-touted defense.)

How about the most dreary set of play calls in the entire second half last weekend at Empire?

Clearly, Mr. LaPolice has bitten off more than he can chew and should look at benching himself from duties as the offensive coordinator. Because, if he can't judge talent, ability and success in his coaching staff, he won't be holding either job next year.

Good luck Alex, you're one set of plays away from replacing Gyles on the sidelines, especially if you actually follow Mr. LaPolice's game plan.

Perhaps you can work some magic with your feet and ad lib a few QB sneaks - if not, prepare your place on the ever growing list of has-been QB's mentored under offensive coordinator / head coach Paul LaPolice.

Fw: Blogging Direct from Winnipeg today

News on the Winnipeg game
From the email desk of terrance Gavan - Pardon the Eruption dot com Managing Editor -
Some bloggers will be sending Bomber updates and interesting quid pro quo anecdotes to the blog today.
There might even be some cogent insights presented.
The bits and bytes will be coming from the fun section of Bombers Stadium.

Allo bruce, bruce, bruce , bruce.
Please stay with me here as my tangent syndrome seems to have kicked out.
Oh yes .. John.

Have the secret code to my direct from email to blog addy.
We will see ... this is a thumb writing experiment and of course I can't get the text to work on Blogger via the cell.
Not available in Canada they say.
And of course we all know that the Bombers - having dumped the number two rated passer in the league  for a raw rookie who has never started a CFL game - are on the hook for this one.
A probable language warning may be in effect for the afternoon as I think three of the Winnipeg writing connection now have a fast, loose and loopy feed to the blog.
Hide the kids and please tune in to the Bombers game at 4 pm eastern today.

A Focus on NHLs Haliburton connection – Duchene and Hodgson redux

Hodgson sent to Moose and Duchene scores in home opener


Matt Duchene seems to be answering some questions re the sophomore jinx.
The Haliburton Hurricane scored a goal in a 3-2 win over the Black-NOTS
in the season opener. 
Terrance Gavan - Managing Editor PTE.com
Two players seeking solace from the NHLs much too vaunted exhibition season.
   Two players trying to put proper perspective on a preseason laced with challenge and questions.
   Two players who cut their teeth in Haliburton’s solid, celebrated and skill-inducing minor hockey system.
   Two players intertwined and connected through Stan Butler’s highly successful, NHL-churning Brampton Battalion major junior franchise.
   One of those players - Haliburton’s Hurricane Matt Duchene - will be centering the number two line of the Colorado Avalanche in his second NHL season.
   And the other - Haliburton cottager Cody Hodgson - will be attempting to disengage himself from a logistical morass created by nagging back problems and some equally bedeviling public relation hassles with his parent club, the Vancouver Canucks. A little more on Cody later.
