I know Rod Hill & Less Browne will win this so I changed it up a bit. I voted for Hill because no one was better as a corner in Blue Bomber history & David Shaw because Shaw was a helluva player who most fans here have either never heard of or had forgotten. He was a shutdown corner for the Bombers from 1983 thru 85. It was his interception in the second quarter of a Dieter Brock Ti Cat pass that cued the 48 point explosion after the Bombers were down 14-0 in the 84 Grey Cup game. Just a tremendous player.

No benefits either & no pension plan.

He played here one season.... He doesn't deserve to be on that list. There are other more deserving & more talented players left off.

Please add David Shaw. James Jefferson & Doug Strong as well.

David Shaw deserves to be on that list.

Williams was a versatile athlete. He could play wingback ( now called slot) or corner & returned KO's. He also celebrated in the end zone a very unique dance after he scored a TD with what he called, "The Winnipeg Wiggle". When he played in Winnipeg he subbed on both sides of the ball. When he was traded to the Riders they moved him full time to corner where he became an all star. I wish there was a video of his dance as it was awesome!

I'll say this he could sure find receivers. Hey, wait a minute...

I thought you meant that he did more than punting as in played other positions.

I remember Roger Kent doing the pbp for the AWA & he used to always say about Hennig that he was "big enough to go bear hunting with a switch".

Well, actually... yes.

The poor guy has worked his hoofies to the quick.

Well, this should be interesting.

You think he was the only wrestler who treated people badly? Lots of famous wrestlers were bad people. There were bullies, murderers, drug addicts, thugs, criminals & wife beaters. You just don't know about it. Most people seem to be focusing on Dynamite Kid the wrestler.

He was a great punter & that was his job as well as holding for converts & placekicking. His punting made him stand out. Not throwing the ball. He never actually suited up & played qb but he'd throw the odd pass out of punt formation or from a botched snap on a field goal. I think he was our best punter ever but I don't know what you mean as integral. As in other ways

I looked at the cities. None of them stand out as being successful. Seattle loves the Seahawks. Their XFL team? They may get 35-40,000 out for their first game with falling attendance afterwards. I think it'll be a replay of the XFL in 2000.

Rest in Peace Dynamite Kid... Tom Billington. Maybe he wasn't the nicest guy in & out of the ring but he was a helluva wrestler. He should be remembered for that. He had his share of suffering later in life including being confined to a wheelchair & in constant pain.

You know, I was thinking. Every team including the Bombers have so many free agents to deal with. This whole thread may become totally irrelevant if we can't sign our core veterans. Specific needs may become huge holes to fill. Pretty nervous time to be a Bomber fan.

Quite the sacrifice considering he was making something like half a million a year as Chief Cook & Bottle Washer with the Riders.

Well, more like 6th string. He was never seriously considered a qb in the CFL.

Well, when you have Jones, what more do the Riders need?

The salary cap for CFL team admins. He was making a huge salary so he had to go. I wonder if Jones takes a pay cut? I'm asking that tongue in cheek.

I wonder what he's limited to physically? Age does matter in your 80's. His voice has also changed. I don't think he'll reprise Locutus Of Borg.

Yeah, those 2 were the best. Imagine trying to throw deep on the Bombers? Shut down corners on both sides. Wow. I can say that David Shaw & Roy Bennett were damned fine corners as well. As was Vince Phason going back to the late 70's.

Sheppard won 2. Just sayin'. But Cameron is the all time punter.

And he had a long NFL career with the Seahawks.
