Buck Pierce sure took a beating when he played for the Bombers...

Murph sure caught a lot of long bombs for TDs back in the day.  In fact most of them appeared to be of that variety.  He sure as hell would have trouble getting more than a handful today given our current starting QB.

OMG! Could Jack Jacobs ever throw a ball!

Great action photo of quarterback Dieter Brock at Exhibition Stadium vs the Toronto Argonauts in 1980.

I only saw footage of him play but man could he throw. I heard a story about an official that didn't like him for some reason and in a game against Regina he threw a long bomb for a touchdown but the official wiped the play out with some bogus call. Next play, same thing, long bomb for a TD. The official would have been too obvious if he had thrown another flag so the TD stood. Just a great player.

The story of Jeff Nicklin who gave his life for his country in World War II. He certainly was a hero.

Before Ben Hatskin brought Bobby Hull & pro hockey to Winnipeg. 

 

 

 

 

Ben Hatskin owned a race car in the 1950's. So did my father. They competed against one another for a few years. Both my Dad & Hatskin hired professional drivers. It was just before my time from about 1951-54. I heard it was a lot of fun but time consuming & expensive as the car was always being worked on between races. Too bad I missed it.

It wasn't meant to be funny, Source.  The guy was a warrior.  I don't post any photos so players can be made fun of or mocked.

Obviously, this photo was taken before Pierce was disarticulated.

Blue Bomber Offensive Tackle Bill Frank. He played for the Bombers from 1969-74. A multiple CFL All Star & All Canadian, he protected the blind side of qbs Wally Gabler, Benji Dial, Don Jonas, Ron Johnson, Chuck Ealey & Dieter Brock. Just a personal observation as I saw both players in action but he & Chris Walby are the two greatest left tackles to ever put on a Bomber jersey.

Wide Receiver Geroy Simon as a Blue Bomber. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1999, he joined the Bombers the same year & played through the 2000 season when he joined the BC Lions where he became the CFL's all time leading receiver.

Since he's now a Stampder, I've deleted Chris Matthews photo.
