March 12, 20232 yr comment_623823 Bud Grant was before my time, but I have heard enough of the stories from previous generation Bomber fans to know what an amazing guy he was. I'd say Bud Grant, Cal Murphy, and now the Canadian Mafia have been three of the most dominant managers/coaching combinations in the history of the Bombers. I of course am not forgetting the 1930's-41 era but my knowledge of that era isn't as broad so if I am wrong here feel free to correct me.
March 12, 20232 yr comment_623828 actually interesting fact he actually sent an invite to my uncle to join the spring training camp for the Bombers...well long story short didn't he didn't end up joining the team because....I guess they didn't pay payers back then what they pay players now and my aunt was expecting my cousin
