Bomber Canadian DEs: Bennett (27) 6'0" 235.

The Bombers have Kornelson listed as a DT and 24o lbs. Can't see him playing DT at 240 lbs.   

I think their intention is to switch Kornelson to OG.

A very sloppy game on D. Far to many giveaways, and PK needs to be better. However, we won. The place was electric, great game for the fans.

One of Manitoba's larger corporate companies Exchange Income Corp. (EIF) makes it happen for our Northern Communities.  They offer the flights I believe for all those folks.  I don't know the exact details but that's who is contributing to it.  The Gov't contracts help EIF but they are a very successful and diversified corporation.  I have been a long term shareholder and also so happy to hear when they give back.  Good company, good corporate partner and a great deal for these community members to see a game.  To be honest it's also a good business move.  Our indigenous population is very large and growing fast.  They will fill the seats for years to come! :) 

For that that like to play stocks the symbol is EIF.  I bought originally around $12! :)

Blue Bombers Transactions - April 20, 2024

WINNIPEG, MB., April 20, 2024 - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American receiver Myron Mitchell.

Mitchell (6-1, 180; Alabama-Birmingham; born: June 17, 1998, in Jasper, AL) joins the Blue Bombers after spending last season with the Birmingham Stallions. Originally signed by the Michigan Panthers, Mitchell was traded to the Stallions and appeared in 10 games, pulling in 15 passes for 138 yards and one touchdown while helping Birmingham capture its second consecutive USFL title.

Mitchell signed his first pro deal with the Minnesota Vikings in May of 2021 as an undrafted free agent and appeared in one game while spending most of the season on the practice squad before his release in late August of 2022.

He began his collegiate career at Butler Community College (2016-17) before transferring to UAB (2019-20) where he had 63 catches for 990 yards and seven touchdowns while also handling punt and kickoff return chores.

The club has also transferred American defensive lineman Nate Givhan to the retired list.

Blue Jays win another game tonight. That's 6 wins out of there last 7 games. Pitching was excellent again tonight. Seems like every night it's a different group of players providing the O.

Bunched 5 runs and then shot blanks but the pitching staff shone vs the Padres last night
