So apparently former Bomber WR Chris Brazell has a son, Chris Brazell II, who is an NFL prospect.

The most notable memory I have is Chris Brazzell Sr. was his dumb awkward tackle-from-behind on the Milt Miracle play.

Personally, I didn't want him back this year, let alone the one after that.

yeah, I felt the same about Kevin Glenn after the 2008 season. Good thing we moved on from that guy!

Crum to Maier is a high-cost downgrade.

Why would ICE try to find specific people in a parade of "1 million". Wouldn't that be the least effective way of doing their job?

ICE isn't really seeking out specific people, at least not in their showy ops -- they're swarming people who, according to their small, smooth brains, do not look like Americans. This is why they are hated so much and why people in Minneapolis are following them around with whistles.

(Please forgive if this is too much politics for MBB)

If ICE wants to muscle in on a million person parade in a city that ******* loathes them, they're welcome to bring it.

Our parade is gonna be a doozy. A million people coming downtown..

But I'm 70. I'm not 25 or 46 pretending to be hip. I'm as cool as Bob Hope or Dean Martin. And my music is decades old anyway. They weren't going after me anyway. My target demographic ended in 1990.

I have heard it said that "We Didn't Start The Fire" was the final boomer pop song.

Regardless of who takes our #2 spot this coming season, my hope is MOS and company have a little less anxiety in using QB2 when/if ZC consistently struggles during the game.

that would be a big surprise to see. Dude lets players play through their struggles and doesn't even like to take out Collaros when the Bombers are on the good side of a blowout.

Not pulling struggling Zach doesn't bother me so much -- Zach's upside is far far far greater than that of a Terry Wilson or even a Streveler. Multiple times over his career he's gone from zero in one quarter to hero in another. If it was someone like Taylor Powell or MBT or Brown on the bench behind Zach, someone who's proven he belongs in the CFL, I might feel different.

So unless MOS abruptly changes his ways, only a ZC8 injury will result in significant backup reps.

Zach has been actually been pretty durable the past few years -- started all 18 games in 2022-2024 and started 13 last year, and one of his missed games was the BS piss test one.

Definitely gotta put some love on Alexander's name, not only was he the final piece of our 2019 Grey Cup D, but he also shoved aside that twitter dummy we were starting at safety earlier that year.

Big catches, excellent blocker, just super reliable.. could have had a bigger role else where but understood the sacrifices it takes to be a champion. Would love to see the bombers make him a receiving coach down the road if he was interested.

basically the ultimate WR3. You got distracted by Lawler or Adams or Schoen and Bailey would make you pay.

Probably Bighill for me, with Strev and Woogie a close second... But I love the discussion.

Top 5

Bighill

Strev/Woogie

Matty Ice

Collaros

Stan/Yosh

Man I wish that Mo Leggett had still been with the team for the Grey Cup wins. Definitely one of my favorites from the Matty Ice era. stupid achilles injuries.

aha, figured it out -- use "Paste" when using Macintosh Chrome instead of "Paste and Match Style" which is what you get when you use command-V

I was using Firefox when the embeds didn't work for me, so I'll try posting from Chrome...

edit: nope

Some more Sheed highlights because that guy was one of my favorites.

very first TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lw9Ne1e2DM. <--- Yoshi and him rolling around the endzone like Anakin and Padme. Totally forgot that Tyler Crapigna was ever a bomber.

falling bomb TD strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37gks3BTxf0 <--- check out the dope adjustment to the ball, which is slightly off target.

the famous superman pylon dive TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v49p6Z26jSE <--- freaking love the blocking on this play. BOLO tenaciously erases his man!

(am I doing something wrong or does the new board version not support youtube thumbnails?)

yeah, liquid hydrogen is really really tricky stuff to work with -- a shame, because it's a great rocket fuel, but methane is so much easier to handle.

hope they get it sorted, but SLS is kind of a debacle at this point.

also, Canadian Jeremy Hansen is part of the crew for Artemis II. 🍁

There's that awesome career highlight diving freeze-frame TD that he scored against the Riders .... but this is the play when I first really noticed him.

Love how Howsare just pulls up and prepares to be hit when he sees Sheed coming across the formation. 88 got the key block on the first TD in Grey Cup 2019 and the rout was on.

(youtube clips are awesome but I wish they previewed)

Hit the F gap JJ

next time I need a sock puppet account to hype myself on MBB, it's gonna be called "The F Gap."

👍 agreed

Me too. I can also tell you for certainty that a lot of the inside info fed to fans is just for shits and giggles. Like Vega  used to tell me,  tell them what they wanna hear...that is how you get free beer. (He and a number of other Bombers were regulars at a bar i used to own). Fans would engage with them and ask them questions that weren't really questions but beliefs they wanted affirmed. The guys would go with it, order a round on the poor guy, then proceed to tell him some tall tale then laugh their asses off about it later.

this is awesome.

I wish that coach call-in shows worked like this.  If some fan wants to talk out their ass on the coach's show, first they need to buy the coach a beer. 

It would be a better product from every perspective.

didn't everyone get the memo?  Kyrie Wilson is the forum whipping boy now.

Can Tim White block like a Bomber?

His CFL future may be in doubt, but he will live on forever in our postgame happy honker reports.

I love you guys but also I hate you guys.

yeah, didn't see much from Logan last year that showed that he was still a CFL returner ... if Vaval is off chasing the NFL, would rather roll a rookie or a FA signing there.

same. Especially sheed. idk if he’d be the best technical coach of the position, but his guys would run through a brick wall for him. He’s one of the best natural leaders we’ve ever had. 

 sheed and yoshi showed more leadership than you’d think would even work in the pros. When ever a new guy would be inserted into the line up or especially start, you’d see them with him in the walk out and warm ups. Those two made me wanna run through a brick wall as a fan lol. 

Darvin Adams was a fiery accountability guy, too, right?  I recall hearing he had a big personality.

40-year-old OL are pretty rare to begin with so we're already in a weird space.  Maybe it gets weirder?  I dunno.
