    Banjo Bowl.

    I still don't understand that name btw.
    They play a lot of banjos in Manitoba and Saskatchewan?
    I'll have to ask Troy Westwood next time I see him.

    I'd love to see the Bombers win the Grey Cup. It's been... a while.

    If the 'Riders lose, running the record toward 1 & infinity, all Kool-Aid packets should be promptly removed from Jonestown as a precautionary measure.

    It was Westwood's finest moment referring to Riders fans as "banjo picking inbreds".

    Learn something new every day I guess.
    Figured it might have something to do with the limited gene pool in the prairies.

    Watched the "Deliverance" clip included above, plus this comment, and I now understand the reference.
    Freakin' hilarious!

    The "apology" was funnier than the original comment, IMO.

    What was funny about it was the fact that Westwood shot his mouth off and then lost the west semi final to the "toothless banjo pickers" days later.

    For the old-timers on this forum...

    It was great to see and hear Dieter Brock on this broadcast after he was inducted into the Bombers Ring of Honour (long overdue imo).
    Brock and Tom Clements were probably my favourite CFL QBs in the 1970s.
    Brock looks like he could still throw some bombs!

    He still has the hair. I really enjoyed Brock and Matt Dunigan talking about old times and the game today. Brock, Dunigan and Chris Cuthbert could make the best broadcasting team we have seen since Don Wittman, Ron Lancaster and Leo Cahill in the 1980s if TSN were creative enough to do it. Brock said today that he still watches every CFL game on ESPN2 and the internet so he is ready to go!

    Have to give Rod Black rare props for not being able to get over Brock once throwing a ball 93 yards in practice. That made me laugh.

    Dieter's hair was awesome! But what impressed me most is when he said he watches every CFL game from Birmingham, AL...streaming or ESPN 2.

    The other humorous thing is Westwood was playing for Winnipeg when he said it.

    This was a good game to watch on TV. It's amazing how a low scoring g game can stil provide the entertainment value like that due to great atmosphere in the building. I hope one day that type of atmosphere will be the norm at BMO.

    While they are certainly not the favourites, O'Shea has built this team into a legitimate contender.
