Who Would Have Thought..

There's many things that Bomber fans are going 'who would have thought' over this season.

It started with the first spat of losses. Who would have thought that after making a convincing run for the Grey Cup the previous season that we'd be in a battle to stay out of last place.

Who would have thought that Troy Westwood would finally be released only to be replaced by someone even more horrible.

Who would have thought that the East's nomination for MVP last year, Kevin Glenn, would be sat in favour of Ryan Dinwiddie.

Then, there's the 'who would have thought that Charles Roberts and Tom Canada would have ever been traded'.

Then the who would have thought that such a weird chain of events would keep Canada in Winnipeg.

Now... after an admittedly awful season, we're all going who would have thought that we'd have pretty much secured a home playoff spot and second place in our devision. Now, admittedly, being second in the East this year is kind of like being the best band of the 80's. But it's still second place. It's still the playoffs. It's still a shot at the Grey Cup.

Who would have thought this season would have been such a wild ride.

Good luck Blue. Don't make me eat these words.

Slightly off topic... did anyone else notice that Dunnigan looked a bit... off during the half? Tired maybe? I kept waiting for him to screw up. And every week, Clime is even more amazing. He's certainly my fav. I really love the panel on TSN... There is not one person on that panel that I cannot stand. Which is a huge change from the various incarnations of the CBC panel. Anyone remember pinball? Although I did enjoy Khari and Walby... but I might just be biased.

Also, I'm still in shock that TSN is actually using the 'Hockey Night In Canada' theme and actually reffering to it as such. It makes me think of the CBC every time they do it. Highly ineffective. Don't get me wrong. I still think the CBC is retarded for letting it go... I just can't decide who is more retarded. The CBC for letting something so iconic slip through their fingers for less coin than they're paying out in their stupid theme contest, or TSN/CTV for pretty much promoting CBC's Hockey Night In Canada every single dammed time they fire off that anthem.

If I were TSN, I would certianly pick up the rights to the HNIC theme... and then I'd let it sit on a shelf until I finally wrangled HNIC away from the CBC. Then I'd use it to take the sting away when fans started to cry over the fact that, after a generations of tradition, Canadians are no longer able to watch NHL hockey on the CBC. Because it'll happen.

Oh, and lastly, Sean Avery is a complete asshole.

And why is Celtics pronounced Seltics when you're talking about Basketball? That makes no sense. How did that even come about? Seltics. Huh. Unless someone enlightens me as to the reasons, this will go next on my list of why Americans are stupid.

Somehow, watching TSN always gets me all riled up.
