That is amazing.

It's nothing against Ed whatsoever, he's great. It's just that I remember the days when he didn't work for the club and we used to get a less "measured" report out of him and then we also had DB, Irving and a couple other guys pitching in with their observations while Paul Friesen sat around suntanning and pretending to look deep in thought under his floppy sun hat. The Bombers reports are definitely more of the "this is what we want you to know about" variety and that's great, but I miss the seasons past when we used to hear about everything under the sun minus the playbook coming from our camp reporters. I'm going to throw out an early prediction and say 9.

Kind of big news...

CFL brotherhood...gotta love it.

The reason no one will wear today’s number again. The second of three retired numbers in honour of this legend.

My cousin. Cec Luining. It was actually. "The mad Milkman from Selkirk". That is what Jack Wells used to call him on the radio broadcasts.

The whole lockout situation is good for Prukop. He's going to get a bunch of first team reps this week.

Nothing so far-fetched if you accept the concept of "prisons for profit", adding "orphanages for profit" just improves the vertical integration of business, cuts down costs and helps maximize profit. I believe there are people who would gladly re-introduce "slavery for profit", if they could find a way to do it without using the word "slavery".

Sounds like Liam Dobsen was passed over in Chicago Bears mini-camp. The bears signed 6 undrafted free agents from their rookie mini-camp including one offensive lineman but not Dobsen. Assuming nothing has changed he should currently be in Saints mini camp. I would imagine that within 3 days or so we should know if he's been offered a contract.

Kevin "The Intensity" Glenn

Cactus Jack referred to Rick Shaw as the only Japanese player in the CFL.

I would say, yes. He was definitely long and not wide. Probably this guy.

Musk is losing lots of money right now. He's going to back out of the deal to buy Twitter.

"Asked whether the panel is prepared to hold the GOP lawmakers in contempt if they refuse to comply with the subpoenas, member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told The Washington Post, "I'm not going there." "I've got to believe," he added, "that every member of Congress will want to do his or her legal duty and patriotic duty to participate in an investigation into an attack on our own institution and an attack on the political institutions in the United States."" This is the the main Democrat speaking. His head is in the clouds.

Per Ed Tait when he did a deep dive into all the numbers worn by players: https://www.bluebombers.com/blue-by-the-numbers/ The Bombers haven’t formally retired numbers, but the following are officially no longer available to players: 11 – Worn by hall of famer Ken Ploen, the face of this franchise during his playing days from 1957-67 and later into his retirement. Ploen also wore 89, as did many players of that era who played both sides of the ball. 28 – Jeff Nicklin was a decorated Bomber from 1934-40 before becoming a decorated soldier in World War II, passing away on the battlefield in 1945. The winner of the Most Outstanding Player Award in the West Division is annually presented with the Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy. 75 – As a tribute to Tommy Lumsden, who played end, defensive end, tackle and guard for the Bombers from 1951-54 but passed away at the age of 25 in a Winnipeg hospital while suffering a gall bladder attack near Beausejour. The Tommy Lumsden Trophy is presented annually to the Bombers’ top Canadian player.

Each of them holding 2 of their 6 GCs from the 2019- period....

Would be neat if they did a statue at some point with the three Canadian Mafia

The one season the award became a lifetime achievement award.

Democrats need to hold on to the Senate and even gain 3-4 then tell Manchin to shove it and become a full fledge Republican

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, here's a peek at the new hashmarks vs the old hashmarks.. definitely going to be interesting.

I take Chevy's comments regarding Scheif as a message to other GM's that he's not selling him on the cheap.

Thank ******* Christ....I was certain that was going to be the Jets boobie prize after Chicago takes Trotz.......

okay this was supposed to go into a different topic but on the plus side they're not in the running for Trotz now

Why does Raskin think that the people whom participated in a plot to overthrow his government... will do " their patriotic duty" ? Why would a person like him say something that preposterous? Nancy Pelosi rules of engagement. she is bad for Democracy. I am having trouble Managing the daily inflow of complete world wide insanity.

And I believe Ed Tait is on WST today, so for that should be a good listen.

It worked!

Just a few others from my time: The Birmingham Rifle The Sheriff of Linden Woods Bluto Wild SWAC Turtle Man Flight 87 The Hammer The Glass Quarterback The Mayor of Swaggerville Chuck Diesel Lambo (or Lamborghini) Money Matty Ice Mini Milt The Hit Man

Somewhat off topic but consistent with recent farming theme. There are 8 entries, if you follow the thread. Nothing remarkable, in terms of farming, but a bit of insight into cattle farming almost a hundred years ago.

Who do you think taught Taman how to GM? I love Dave Ritchie, but his biggest flaw was his distaste for rookies and the mentality that veterans are always better.

Article also mentions: Brad Fotty, who has been in the position since 1990, has since put Walby’s 63 and Stegall’s 85 out of commission. The same was done for Bob Cameron’s 6.

Sad to find out one of my favourite players has died. Flanker Bob Larose had passed away three weeks ago. Great player as I remember.

Cory “Poop” Johnson Craig "Death" Roh That's his son's place, they used to have a motor-cross track on that property.

Blink.....Charles Roberts Thunder and lightning Sellers and Roberts

I'd say that article title is priceless

The absolute brilliance of getting him here as an FA, and then keeping him here for so many seasons, cannot be overstated It has been said before - he was one of the key components of the 'culture shift'

On Thursday, May, 12, The Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed they hit the Vsevolod Bobrov, a Project 23120 logistics Russian ship. Serhiy Bratchuk, a spokesman for the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Ukraine, reported on Telegram that the Russian ship was hit, damaged and set on fire as a result of a Ukrainian strike, as reported by Ukrinform. “As a result of the actions of our Navy, the Vsevolod Bobrov logistics ship, one of the newest in the Russian fleet, set on fire. They say she is limping toward Sevastopol,” Bratchuk said

Lowry anywhere under 5m is a deal, IMO. That guy is an all-hustle leader. Every single team wants a guy like that. They're definitely not overpaying him.

I remember telling my dad on the way to that game, for absolutely no reason at all, that Greg Carr was the next great Bomber receiver. Then he had like 2 catches for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns at half before his leg exploded and he missed the rest of the game and I thought I was a genius. I think 21 year old me just kept hoping we were going to find the next Milt Stegall, I even had a Jeffers-Harris jersey. 😆

Don't forget Dough Alert!

Zeke and Destroy Jay Detain

The company is called Lakeland today - we get our milk delivered from there.

Nope, I'm the one misremembering. I'm just plain old wrong. He won his first of 3 Grey Cups with CGY, but all 3 MOOL followed signing with the Bombers.

Am I mis-remembering? Big Stan won the MOOL with the Bombers in 2017, 2018 and 2021......no? He did not win with Calgary, I don't think... CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award winners 2021 – Stanley Bryant (OT), Winnipeg Blue Bombers. 2020 – season cancelled - covid 19. 2019 - Chris Van Zeyl (OT), Hamilton Tiger-Cats. 2018 – Stanley Bryant (OT), Winnipeg Blue Bombers. 2017 – Stanley Bryant (OT), Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

These are his yards per carry over the first 10 years of his career. Dear god. Why did these Bomber teams even bother throwing the ball?!?!? 6.2 6.9 7.0 6.5 8.7 7.1 6.5 5.2 7.4 5.4

Grant always said that Lewis could have played for any team down south ...he chose to stay in Winnipeg and the CFL.....He sure gave us some great football
