Mitchell vs. Collaros. 2026. A sound from that game on tv reminds me of a sound I heard the night that Bruce Springsteen first played in Hamilton.

Dispatches from the pandemic, Y2K, and the longest championship drought in the league. Flutie. Speedy. Country music. Danny Lanois. Heartaches by the numbers. And why I honestly thought that this was the year.

While my brother is serving his church mission in Quebec, I get a gift in the mail from my role model. Sweeping youthful observations from Buono to Bono. Dattilio to Calvillo. Ferragamo to the Big O. Montreal during the days of disco. The most happening town in the world. Expansion. Contraction. Ice and Staples. A business story. A football story. How U2 saved the Als and how The Wall came to be. A story of Me and Ah You.

Winnipeg. The town that invented 911 and the home of the CFL's flagship team. Tales from Dieter and Dunigan, Taylor and Collaros, and a new hero for our times.

Tales from hotel check ins, flights gone awry, celebrity name drops, hits and near misses, and some ripping yarns from the heart of the continent.

With a nod to the lyrics of John K. Samson, the episode tells the true story of one fella's journey from I Hate Winnipeg to One Great City.
