Back then, CKND was KCND and you needed an antenna to get that channel. We didn’t have an antenna, but the neighbour had and I was jealous that he got to watch “Rat Patrol” on KCND. Chips were expensive, but boy I loved ‘em. Another bud took his chip wrappers to “Kid’s Bid’s” for some loot! Cactus Jack never had far to go after a bomber game or after work to get gunned at The Paddock. Him, stew McPherson and Ray Torgurd were regulars. Torgurd smashed his vehicle on Ness after leaving the Paddock one night and when he finally got back to work he was named scar head from splitting his coconut while hammered. The Bombers were Gods back then. Especially Kenny Ploen and Bud Grant. Hopefully the kids now can look up to the Bomber stars and use them as excellent role models. honestly, the best role model on the Bombers right now might be Bighill. He’s a gem on and off the field. I’m sure others deserve and will take the role as well. These are special times. Legendary times.

I would like to thank my grandfather that held me on his knee when the bombers only played on the radio. My dad for using me as a remote control to change the channels to football on tv. We only had 2 English channels. My mom for preparing popcorn for games. Without the nurturing, I never would have been a Bomber fan. All the other Bomber fans that supported each another through the Lunsford, Spavital, Bud Riley, Joe Zaleski, years.

Where does Wolitarsky fit into the designation? The roster has him as an “N”. https://www.bluebombers.com/roster/. he was born in California. His mom is from Montreal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Wolitarsky There is a mention of him persuing Canadian Citizenship in 2017.

I did not know this fact. This fourth quarter comeback was the second largest fourth quarter come from behind victory in Grey Cup history! https://www.thespec.com/sports/ticats/opinion/2021/12/12/cfl-grey-cup-game-hamilton-tiger-cats-winnipeg-blue-bombers.html

Canadian Harris. MOP Collaros. Actually enjoying the TSN pre game. Started watching bout half an hour ago. Good piece on the two Jeff’s.

Whoever starts the 3 stars and Happy Honker award after each game may as well start now. 1. Collaros 2. Harris 3. Bighill. HH. Hansen.

Yes. But won’t get any in the second half. Surely, I’m serious.

bombers 49 tiger cats 9

We booked a car and driver to take us to Portage and Main after the game.

I haven't heard any player from either team lipping off about the other team.

Well done! Yet not surprising!

Such picky eaters.

This make sense.

Oh yeah! That works!

That would prolly make a good movie someday.

Uhm. Uh. I think so….lol. Mentioning linebackers from a day, I was reminded that Greg Battle was twice named the CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award. Biggie Beats Battle to a third. These bomber line backers past and present are exceptionally gifted. Preacher Greg is still gifted in his present craft.

For the commies in the crowd. Whenever two teams play, the winner must give half the points they are in front at the end of the event to the other team. western final results would have been tie 19 points to each squadron of revolutionaries. One team, the Winnipeg Comrades 19 and the Saskatchewan Peoples Front 19. It would be tied. And no one would be happy. Vlad Miller is rejoicing that 387 peasants gladly starved to death in the concourse so the ruling elite could enjoy an additional hot dog during the competition.

It’s like “BECAUSE. Just because”

Wouldnt bother me.

Wish I could draw on the article explaining the unusual number of rookies in the CFL this year.

Bring back sacrificing virgins at half time. Offer raw beef at the concessions.

I got one. “The Big Oline Bastards of Winnipeg”.

I’d agree. How on earth can anyone offer that getting hit by an object is the victims “fault”?

Soooo, who is this all star team going to play? Lol

Is that how it happened? Otherwise the 4 downs idea did cause a pause.
