As a sports reporter, I’m fascinated by fandom — the intense emotion fans invest in a team, from pure bliss to undeniable disdain. I see it daily, whether encountering praise or vitriol on social media, or watching family members scream at the TV over a bad play. Unlike many, I don’t have an allegiance to any team, in any sport.

The CFL season is already a week old, but for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the fun is just getting started.

Winnipeg’s last Week 1 bye was back in 2017, well before their current, impressive streak of five straight Grey Cup appearances began. Inside the locker room, opinions on the early break were decidedly mixed.

Zach Collaros has a knack for navigating sticky situations. Widely considered one of the top quarterbacks in CFL history, the Blue Bombers’ signal caller has built his career on an ability to evade pressure. However, nothing in Collaros’ career could have prepared him for the situation he has faced in recent months. All because of a missed phone call.
