  1. I'm just gonna say this & I'm NOT pointing fingers at anyone here but making a general observation. The same people on this forum that are abhorred by bullying in a Christmas story are the same ones who seem okay with anyone else bullying others on this forum with insults & mockery if another poster says something they don't agree with. Why is it okay to belittle members on this board & yet then be outraged over whether a flying reindeer with a red nose is bullied by other flying reindeer & an overweight senior in a magical sled? I just don't get it. Bullying goes on in here every damned day & yet that seems to be acceptable. We need to have a serious discussion about why some posters here are always on the outside looking in & aren't part of the "in crowd" here.
  2. Is Nick Arbuckle is the answer at qb? I'd say no.
  3. Brian played safety the entire time he was with the Bombers so that is where he should be listed.
  4. In the 60's there were a couple of positions on defense that were called Monster & Rover. I assume Monster would be on the DL & Rover would be at linebacker. Anyone know?
  5. Noeller, it's a song. Written in the 1940's. What about Mick Jagger & the Stones pleading with a woman to "Let's Spend The Night Together. Cuz I need You More Than Ever?" How many country songs are about sex? Same with rock. Then there's rap whose lyrics & artists don't respect women at all. You ban one then you have to ban them all. What about female performers looking like sluts onstage? Shouldn't they be banned as well as they portray women as sex objects. You can't pick & choose. Ban one then you must ban everything. Too much political correctness & honestly (not saying you but...) some people need to get a life. Just sayin'.
  6. Fullback Lorne "Boom Boom" played for the Bombers from 1951-55. He won the Western Interprovincial Football Unions Rookie Of The Year Award after he rushed for 491 yards in 1952 (he played only 1 game for the Bombers in 1951), The Winnipeg native's best season was in 1953 when he rushed for 561 yards. He finished his 5 season playing career with 1,671 yards rushing. An all around great athlete, he also starred as a junior hockey player & had a tryout in the National League with the Washington Senators. He was an avid curler & played in the 1962 Manitoba Consols as a lead with Lyle Henry's Strathcona CC rink. He later skipped his own curling team to an 8 ender in the Men's League at the same curling club.
  7. Bud Grant talks to receiver Norm Rauhaus during the 1962 Grey Cup. Rauhaus passed away on November 26, 2018 in Winnipeg. He was 83.
  8. Herosian was a beast. He deserves to be nominated so I will do so right here. Please add his name to the safety position. But you're right that tragic accident cost him his career. How does anyone come back after what he went through?
  9. Bo's gone as he'll sign somewhere. Singleton, too. Stamps will be in a whole mess of trouble.
  10. This is the first I heard this. I don't think Wally & Hervey would work together especially since Wally is retired & Ed's in charge. With Wally there this past season, we all knew that he was in charge. Pretty funny, though.
  11. Not good. Hope the guy will be okay.
  12. Battle didn't play OLB as he was ILB. Jones played OLB. He never was a DE or rush end.
  13. BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks! BC sucks!
  14. Even though for all intents & purposes, the fullback hasn't been an integral part of a CFL offense for at least 10 years. Maybe more. Today, the fullback is primarily a Canadian blocker. He may carry the ball a couple of times a season or catch the odd swing pass out of the backfield. The position has almost become irrelevant. Except in short yardage or goal line. I think fullbacks should be together in the same pot as the tailbacks. If Charlie Sheppard, Charlie Perkins, Bob Houmard, John Bledsoe, Mark Bragagnolo, Sean Kehoe & Mike Sellars are worthy then one will get voted on to the all time team. Again, just a suggestion. FWIW.
  15. Agree. As good as Harris is, there were better running backs.
  16. Because of the number of historically great backs, I'd be happy if you had two running back positions & one less slot. I'll nominate Leo Lewis, Dave Raimey & Willard Reaves.
  17. It's a typical promo piece. Hey, I understand. They don't want to give anything away so I'm okay with it.
  18. Total teaser, No useful info at all. LOL.
  19. Gene Lakusiak was a very good defensive back. He played with the Bombers from 1968-74. He had 7 interceptions during his career & was a CFL Western Conference All Star in 1972 & 73. I'd like to nominate him.
  20. My advice would be to add Rowland as a defensive back. We've had some great linebackers & there'll be plenty of nominations at that position.
