3 stars plus hh red black and blue

HH - The RB coach in charge of clock management. The first half should have ended with a Ward fg -
Not sure if teams submit a “wish list” to schedule makers before the season schedule is set, but ticket sales will never be higher for WBB vs Ott. than with this game. Banner raising/season opener might get more people out than you could otherwise reasonably expect against them. Why the rematch next week? Who knows.

I like The Matador as a handle too.

My Tribute to the Winnipeg Blue Bomber 2021 Season

You did a fine job. I would be pretty proud if this was my work. -

3 stars plus hh battle of the backups
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I counted 5 consecutive plays where neither he nor his nutlicker sidekick called the game. Absolutely horrible work. -

Winnipeg Blue Bombers TC 2022
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Didn’t they try to shoehorn him in as a tackle? Guess he didn’t make the transition from guard. -
Interesting CFL personnel Nicknames
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to Rod Black's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Steve "The Baylor Bowling Ball" Beaird. Beaird was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh round of the 1975 NFL Draft. When he felt like the Cardinals low-balled him with their offer, Beaird instead signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Twenty minutes after agreeing to sign with Winnipeg general manager Earl Lunsford for "quite a bit more on the signing bonus and a whole lot more on my regular contract" than the St. Louis offer, Beaird got a call from the Cardinals. "They said they were going to give me what I wanted, we think you're worth it," he said. "And I told them, 'No, sir, I gave my word, I can't go back on it. I'm going to Winnipeg.''' In two seasons with the Blue Bombers, Beaird rushed for 1,367 yards, caught 51 passes for 584 yards, scored 16 touchdowns and had another 1,372 yards in kick and punt returns. A CFL all-star after his second season, Beaird walked away from a three-year contract that would have paid him over $100,000.

2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Regardless of origin, Hansen is a big time component of the last 2 championship seasons. As a valued teammate/team member, there is no way the league should be dictating his wage. It’s OK to throw a gazillion dollars at the Lawlers and Dukes of the league but Thiadric can’t get a bump? Bullshit! -

When Neuf spotted me wearing my #53 jersey at the 2019 parade, he looked incredibly touched as I'm guessing he probably doesn't see too many. "Nice jersey man", said he. "You're the greatest", said I. We both avoided a lot of discomfort when he didn't notice CATAN on the back. -

Bastaja did colour on some of the old CFN broadcasts. Very bright and knowledgeable. He also gets bonus marks for looking like Tex Cobb's character in Raising Arizona. -
Ring of Honour - who is next?
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If it was only determined through longevity with one team (mostly) and rushing yards, you need to go with Charles Roberts. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe Pop get in either. (Canadian, longevity, skill, made his home in Wpg, immaculate reputation, etc) -

Does no one remember the angst that Charles Nelson caused on this board? -
2022 CFL Free Agency(Rumors/official signings)
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to Nolby's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Hearing that it's between us and Elks for Castillo. Sergio only has to look to last season to see how well it worked out for him here on a short term contract with release clause, if he intends on trying the show again next year. Who would you rather trust in a handshake deal, Walters or Jones? -

You won't have to wait that long. His first game on air will be May 23. -
Derek Taylor (DT) named new voice of the Blue Bombers

I wish him good luck and longevity. I’m not interested in panning him until I hear him on the job. He’s no rookie, so he should hit the ground running. -
2022 CFL Free Agency(Rumors/official signings)
Pete Catan's Ghost replied to Nolby's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Because he is incentivized by interceptions he will go for the pick more often than the safer knock down. I can see him being beaten a lot.
