Ed Tait just posted that Kyle Walters has confirmed Tyrell Ford is back this year 

Brutal. Quite possibly the most under appreciated/celebrated Canadian RB to ever play. When he was done playing he was 2nd only to Normie Kwong for rushing yards by a Canadian. Also the only human in history to play in the Grey Cup game and Stanley Cup finals during the same season. Amazing feat. Another legend gone. RIP.

Football legend and a great human being. Thanks for being a Bomber. RIP Mr. Ploen.
Couple of GOAT's going over plays in the afterlife now.

When I was 8, Ken Ploen sat in front of me and my Dad at a game. I had a huge Pepsi with a bad lid, and I spilled it down the bench and all over Ken and his wife. 
I apologized and he smiled and said “don’t worry about it” but they went to clean up and never came back.. Dad was mortified. 
Sorry about that again Mr. Ploen. Rest easy. 
 

What more can you ask of a Legend? Came. Won, Stayed. 
Truly someone our club, our city, could be proud of. Humble and kind. Kenny had it all. 
I didn't get to see him play, except in replays, but he was always so friendly to me. 
RIP,  Mr Ploen. 

The Bombers had a jersey release event for their 50s jerseys and Kenny was on hand. I told him I was disappointed as I wanted him to sign a jersey for me but they didnt have my size made up that day.
He said no problem, when I got the jersey I could look him up in the phone book and go to his house to get it signed.
How many guys would make that offer?

I'm not old enough to appreciate what he did but, I know he had an immense impact on the city with his success and will be missed. Condolences to his family, friends and fans.

Sigh. This day was always gonna come, but it doesn't sting any less. One of the greatest on CFL history. 

God that guy just seemed like he'd be eternal. At least his legacy will be.

Truly one of the greats what a sad day

We will always have his epic special teams tackle in the 2019 grey cup.

No hate. When the end is near youve gotta make as much bank as you can. Miss you Yoshi.

For sure. This is likely his last big year of earning. He had to set himself up. Good chance he doesn't see the 2nd year of that payout. That's not a knock on Yoshi, just the reality that O'day will likely lose his job after the season and the new GM is unlikely to value a 250k contract to a IMP RT. Just the reality.

Gave everything he had for the team future Bomber HOF'er
 

Yes, and was absolutely torched over and over again throughout the year and picked on repeatedly in the Grey Cup. Just because a guy catches a few 50/50 balls doesnt mean he's good. You dont think its somewhat telling that the Bombers didnt try to bring him back??
