September 17, 20187 yr comment_356205 Murph sure caught a lot of long bombs for TDs back in the day. In fact most of them appeared to be of that variety. He sure as hell would have trouble getting more than a handful today given our current starting QB. Report

September 17, 20187 yr comment_356219 3 minutes ago, SpeedFlex27 said: Wish I had seen him play. I only saw footage of him play but man could he throw. I heard a story about an official that didn't like him for some reason and in a game against Regina he threw a long bomb for a touchdown but the official wiped the play out with some bogus call. Next play, same thing, long bomb for a TD. The official would have been too obvious if he had thrown another flag so the TD stood. Just a great player. Report

September 20, 20187 yr Author comment_356681 Before Ben Hatskin brought Bobby Hull & pro hockey to Winnipeg. Ben Hatskin owned a race car in the 1950's. So did my father. They competed against one another for a few years. Both my Dad & Hatskin hired professional drivers. It was just before my time from about 1951-54. I heard it was a lot of fun but time consuming & expensive as the car was always being worked on between races. Too bad I missed it. Edited September 20, 20187 yr by SpeedFlex27 Report

September 20, 20187 yr Author comment_356763 Blue Bomber Offensive Tackle Bill Frank. He played for the Bombers from 1969-74. A multiple CFL All Star & All Canadian, he protected the blind side of qbs Wally Gabler, Benji Dial, Don Jonas, Ron Johnson, Chuck Ealey & Dieter Brock. Just a personal observation as I saw both players in action but he & Chris Walby are the two greatest left tackles to ever put on a Bomber jersey. Edited September 21, 20187 yr by SpeedFlex27 Report
September 20, 20187 yr Author comment_356764 Wide Receiver Geroy Simon as a Blue Bomber. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1999, he joined the Bombers the same year & played through the 2000 season when he joined the BC Lions where he became the CFL's all time leading receiver.
