  1. Jones is a total cluster.... . How much salary has he wasted over the past 2 1/2 seasons??? BTW Guard Derek Dennis is having a solid season with the Stamps yet he couldn't play for the Riders.
  2. Jones just keeps sinking in the quicksand of his own actions. I don't know if it was in the CFLPA statement or from the Rider media person who posted that statement on twitter but it said Bagg was now being "made whole". That was something I never read before when describing a player with an injury. I think the players are going to stop playing for Jones to get rid of him as they don't trust him. How can they? How many vets has he screwed over as Riders GM?? Jones is Reynolds problem as he threw the bank vault at him to sign him. Then gave him too much power.
  3. WTH is going on with the Riders & the CFLPA over Rob Bagg? Was he brought back because Jones shouldn't have cut him when injured? I read the CFLPA statement & it was as clear as mud.
  4. Well, early in WW1, the pilots dropped bombs by hand I believe. I've seen old film ( not video) of them doing just that. Damnedest thing I ever saw. They just threw them out of the plane. Later in the war the planes became more technologically sophisticated & carried them mounted to the fuselage & the pilots released them. So,TECHNICALLY, I guess you could call bi planes bombers. LOL. But I get your point. Imagine throwing bombs out of your plane as you flew?
  5. Leo Lewis. The Lincoln Locomotive. Circa 1964.
  6. Blue Bomber Defensive Lineman D i c k Huffman
  7. The 1984 Grey Cup Champions. It was the Bombers first Grey Cup win in 22 years.
  8. Blue Bomber fullback #28 Gerry James gets a great block on a Ti Cat defender from Guard #56 Ed Kotowich in the 1959 Grey Cup. Hamilton's Defensive Guard #54 Ernie Danjean & Blue Bomber Running back #21 Charlie Shepard looks on.
  9. That injury wasn't the OL fault. However, I thought the hit on Manziel was a deliberate headshot. The Ottawa defender aimed for Manziel's head & gave him a shoulder shot. There should be a penalty & suspension.
  10. As Mark H said, let's see if any Liberal icons are removed like Laurier. Won't hold my breath.
  11. I stand by my comments. You can leave anytime & cheer for "an elite team". The Argos are so desperate they'd welcome you with open arms. They won the GC last season so they're elite.
  12. You can leave anytime & cheer for the Eskimos. Or any other team you'd like. You won't be missed.
  13. Lankford hasn't shown much when he's in there. Petermann is the heir apparent to Dressler maybe even as early as next season. He should be playing.
  14. Why not play Petermann? What's he have to do to show he should start?
  15. I think he is a former Winnipegger living in Seattle. Or a Canadian. I know USABomberFan isn't American.
  16. This may be a rather cute article about an infamous deed in the 1957 Grey Cup between the Blue Bombers & the Tiger Cats but it's hard to have any respect for David Humphrey. Using alcohol as an excuse to try & start a fight on the Hamilton bench, then later in the game tripping Hamilton's Bibbles Bawel on the playing field after an interception, wanting to then fight Bawel & finally stealing a chair from the stadium?? Well, blaming it all on alcohol just doesn't cut it for me. Would some people that day back in 1957 have said that his actions of being an ******* on the sidelines were okay had Humphrey driven his car in his drunken state & ran down a pedestrian? Or caused an accident that killed or injured himself or others afterwards? Somehow, I doubt it but here we are giving s stupid drunk his twenty minutes of fame (again) by saying it was the alcohol that made him do it. Therefore somehow making it okay. Again, that doesn't cut it with me. He also hid behind the Toronto Telegram's lawyers to keep his identity a secret for 2 decades because he was too cowardly to come forward & say that it was he who caused the mayhem that day. Even more unbelievable, the Toronto police were also in on this entire sordid affair as it appears that they could have arrested Humphrey but chose not to. These same idiot police officers who saw him in an alcohol induced frenzy on the sideline still let him drive home afterwards. Even for 1957 that is shocking. Funny how Humphrey clearly remembers talking to a cop about taking the chair yet claimed he didn't remember everything else. Humphrey embarrassed himself, the Blue Bombers & the entire CFL even though it was called the Canadian Football Council back then yet suffered no consequences whatsoever for his actions. He has since passed away but I don't sense he had that much remorse & fell back on the yuck, yuck, yuck "too much alcohol" excuse for his actions that day. The sad thing is that he was a lawyer who was later made an Ontario Provincial Court judge. I wonder how many drunks he sent to jail over the years for any number of offenses because of alcohol while he sat on the Bench? When in reality it was Humphrey who should have spent time behind bars like the rest of us would have had we done what he did. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/fifty-years-later-the-tripper-returns-to-the-scene-of-the-crime/article1327897/
  17. The Blue Bomber sideline just moments away from winning the 1958 Grey Cup. A 35-28 win over the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Offensive Halfback #97 Gord Rowland, Offensive Tackle #62 Roger Savoie, Offensive Guard/Defensive Tackle #78 Ron Meadmore, Offensive Tackle #63 Steve Patrick, & #80 Offensive Halfback/ Kicker Bob Stransky are getting ready to bust out. Someone hidden behind the players holding the obligatory cigarette while trying not to accidentally burn the player next to him in the excitement.
