Blue Bombers Hunt Offensive Identity | Winnipeg News

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in a rut, struggling to find offensive identity after a brutal game marred by four interceptions and a league-leading nine fumbles. Star running back Brady Oliveira felt underused, even on a big touchdown run, while QB Dru Brown and coach Mike OShea stress adaptability and evolution. Offensive coordinator Tommy Condell is pushing for ball security, balanced play, and player input to build cohesion. Veteran guard Patrick Neufeld confirms they’re balanced but need to be sharper up front. With four QBs already on the roster, no excuses — just a relentless focus on fixing turnovers and finding consistency before their next game.

Bronze Plaques Stolen for Scrap | Winnipeg News

Six bronze historical plaques honoring Steinbach’s founding families and local history have vanished—stolen by scrap metal thieves despite being bolted or mortared in place. The thefts, starting in April, sparked outrage from Mayor Earl Funk, who called the acts deeply disrespectful. These weren’t just decorative; they included detailed maps of original homesteads and park histories. With scrap metal theft on the rise, the city is weighing options: a $200K provincial grant for security, replacing plaques with cheaper plastic or aluminum, or fencing a community center. The irony? Preserving history only to have it stripped for scrap. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
