Posted July 9, 201312 yr comment_8346 Congratulations to Bryant Turner on winning the defensive player of the week award, first Bomber to take home an award this season.
July 9, 201312 yr comment_8357 defensive player of the week HAD to go to someone one the bombers defense. Turner takes it home but it really was a team award as far as I'm concerned.Â
July 9, 201312 yr comment_8367 The other winners this week were Hugh Charles, Andrew Harris and Jock Sanders.

July 9, 201312 yr Author comment_8372 The other winners this week were Hugh Charles, Andrew Harris and Jock Sanders. Â As selected by the generous and humble Bryant Turner.
July 9, 201312 yr comment_8376 Turner also was awarded the Nobel prize in Medicine this weekend, as while in the hospital in Montreal he cured ovarian cancer and diabetes.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8408 I enjoy reading these Bryant Turner things but can someone explain how this whole thing got started.Â
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8414 I enjoy reading these Bryant Turner things but can someone explain how this whole thing got started. It was Mike on the other site. When BT92 first came to the WBB, Mike had been reading all about him and hyped him up pretty good, to the point where he started turning them into Chuck Norris -type things, because even  he knew that his comments were so over-blown. As with most things of this nature, once he started it, (and the fact that BT was backing it up...) people just ran with it.....

Back in the day, he contacted me on Twitter thinking I was in the personnel department for the team and thanked me for giving BT (and Denmark, who he also represented) a chance to make the team. I explained I was just a fan and we got to talking about players and he just really had me sold on Turner as a player.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8416 I enjoy reading these Bryant Turner things but can someone explain how this whole thing got started. Bryant saw the need for all things 'turn' to be shaped and done, so it so became turner.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8418 Bryant has so inspired the club that no stone has gone unturned to find a another Turner to put some more awe in 'some', for it is known to many that one good Turner deserves another.

I explained I was just a fan and we got to talking about players and he just really had me sold on Turner as a player. Â Oh, there is so much more fun that you could have had with that...
July 10, 201312 yr Author comment_8420 Oh, there is so much more fun that you could have had with that... Â Back when I used to talk to Penton more on Twitter and have conversations with some of the players, etc it used to come up pretty often actually. I don't think it helped that my Twitter handle has "wpg" in it just like the Bombers' official page and I had to change my display picture to something that wasn't a Bomber logo but before that, I used to get players sending me Youtube videos, agents contacting me for tryout information and all kinds of stuff like that pretty regularly. Â The weirdest one I ever had was somebody from a little town newspaper in North Carolina contacting me for permission to interview Perry Floyd for a local article. Â It's entertaining, but I never messed with anyone.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8421 Yeah, that'd get you in a bit of trouble with the club. Pretty funny that people made the assumption, tho....
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8422 Â It's entertaining, but I never messed with anyone. Yeah, it would be funny to mess with fans or even media that didn't know, but you don't want to do that with a guys dream of playing pro football.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8423 Love Turners Tweet today!  "I'm very thankful for the love i've been showed this week. Much love to my teammates for OUR DPOW award. #blessed #GOD ##goblue"  I like how he gives credit to the team as well
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8424 Gary Lawless and Paul Friesen used to tweet Mike for information.. I believe they still do.
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8425 Something I was disappointed that Jovon didn't do when he won DMOP in 2011, when everyone on the planet knew that was an award for the entire Bombers "Swaggerville" D....
July 10, 201312 yr comment_8462 Congratulations to the Ticats D, who are now 2 for 2 for Offensive Player of the Week awards.
July 11, 201311 yr comment_8466 Thanks for the explanation. Do you know if Bryant Turner has read any of the comments (past or present) and what he thinks of them? Â Â Congratulations to the Ticats D, who are now 2 for 2 for Offensive Player of the Week awards. Â Â Pretty much a continuation from last season.
July 11, 201311 yr comment_8468 Thanks for the explanation. Do you know if Bryant Turner has read any of the comments (past or present) and what he thinks of them? I bumped into him and jason vega in the food court of the mall in Regina last year before the Labour day game. I asked about this and he said that he does see or hear about most of them and thinks they are funny, and that there are some creative people out there.
