Booch Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Simoni is a punk..if you caught it on the cfl wired he grabbed Darvins towel and tossed it and Darvin gave him a little shove and he acted like he got cold cocked and flailed away hoping for a call..which he never got..maybe if he concentrated on being a leader and played some ball they may have not got manhandled..ol Darvin was under the skin of several Cats and had them right off their game..

I can’t believe the opposing players were so calm after he beaked at them. I’m not sure I could have ignored it and walked away. J5V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now mostly forgotten by time the Winnipegs win was considered one of the great moments in the history of Canadian Sports Although American players had been recruited by teams before, Winnipeg was the first to import a large contingent. These hirings were controversial and eventually led to present-day rules governing player imports. As a result of their bold manoeuvre, the ‘Pegs became the first western team to win the Grey Cup. The 1935 championship game was played in Hamilton against the Hamilton Tigers, with the ‘Pegs victorious 18–12. Fritz Hanson was the star of the game, especially on kick returns, setting a record with 300 punt-return yards. Quarterback Russ Rebholz also threw two touchdown passes. The 1935 Grey Cup game was also the first to be broadcast nationally on radio. https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/winnipeg-blue-bombers Fred C Dobbs and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) 1939 Grey Cup Champs. The Bombers were dealing with the emotional hangovers from Grey Cup losses to the Toronto Argonauts in 1937 and 1938 when they advanced to the 1939 championship by winning a two-game total-point West final over the Calgary Bronks. Ottawa, playing in front of a home crowd, was heavily favoured heading into the game having out-scored their opposition 207-51 in 12 games prior to the Grey Cup. Conditions were far from perfect and the field was rock hard. In an attempt to soften the turf, organizers poured 400 gallons of gasoline on the field and let it ablaze the day before the game. But freezing conditions overnight didn’t help those efforts. Ottawa opened the scoring, but the Bombers countered after recovering a fumble deep in Rough Rider territory, with Andy Bieber waltzing in for a seven-yard TD. The game’s scoring then came from singles on missed field goals. With the score tied 7-7 Jeff Nicklin recovered a fumbled punt for the Bombers at the Ottawa 34 to change field position. A subsequent Bombers punt into the end zone was kicked out by the Rough Riders, but shanked out of bounds only to their eight-yard line. And with 45 seconds remaining, Winnipeg’s Art Stevenson crushed a kick into the stands for a single and an 8-7 victory. Fritz Hanson, who played a critical role in the Bombers first Grey Cup win, was again superb in his punt returns and finishing with 126 yards rushing.

Noeller Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I had seen that and was glad to read that. Bob's a pro, and like he said, he gets it. The only thing I could actually see being true, is the Bombers being pissed off at Darrin Bauming and refusing to speak to him. I fully expect that to eventually blow over, tho, as everyone has a job to do... Bigblue204 and kelownabomberfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked him on Twitter if there was any truth to the rumors that he was being blacklisted by the players and he just laughed and say no.
