Sigh. It’s too bad the Jets followed up last year’s stellar season with this dud, but at least after tonight there are no more illusions of making the playoffs. Hopefully some younger players get their chance to play with the big club in final games.

Operation Red Nose Winnipeg is suspending service tonight. (I'm their media liaison.)

We should be back up and running ... er, driving tomorrow. (Myself included!)

Please share this to let Winnipeggers who were hoping for a ride tonight know.

Email I just sent to media attached.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.
