imo biggie is not a guy to hand top lber in the cfl money. I also don’t think money is his primary motivating factor and doesn’t he have a great side hustle now in Winnipeg? I suspect he will continue to play here and for under 150k a year. 
 

 

At this point in his career/life, you could probably make the case that football is his side hustle now... he'll be investment banking for 30 years after football is done

Forecast for next week shows highs of +10C - looks like we'll have a nice night for football on Friday.

One of the companies we contract with hires a bunch of temporary workers from Mexico... they did not look impressed when I saw them this morning.

Youtube user Waders27 has been uploading great career highlight videos from recent Bomber players. He just got to a couple of my favorites:

Go to 6:48 to see Leggett's ridonkulous game against BC, with a clutch goal-line tackle and a pick return that featured like nine separate bomber defenders throwing blocks, some great team play there, pure Mike O'Shea team-first football. 

J-Lo was Terrance Edwards like guy in that he rarely played on winning teams but he always gave the fans something to cheer about.  His 1-yard-line strip of Chris Williams at 3:11 is pure sweetness.  check out how he makes up 10 yards on Williams from the 35 in. 

One of my favorite Bomber plays of any era.

anyway, great memories there, check it out and thank him for his work.

Bombers need to catch the Argos and their 17 Grey Cup wins to be the undisputed best franchise in CFL history.  Granted the Argos have competed for the Grey Cup a lot longer than the Bombers have.

A large chunk of their GCs are bullshit. They got an automatic bye to the final for YEARS.... That record is horseshit.

Well, they did beat the Bombers 6 times from 1937 to 1950.  It would be cool to play Toronto again after all these years.

how, exactly, does one tie in the playoffs?

They used to play multi-game series in the playoffs to get to the Grey Cup, so I’m guessing they did not need to have a winner in every single game, just worried about the total points outcome. 

had no idea where to put this, but the clip is too good not to share........ the big man's birthday the other day, so Scooch shares this clip from Walby's first game as a Bomber:

Walby hadn't moved over to the OL yet. He was a defensive lineman here.

Schoen is a phenom - in every sense of the word. I expect him to get a look from the NFL but I hope he's a mainstay on this team for years to come.

And Wolitarsky's growth as a veteran on this team can't be understated. He's such a consummate professional and leads by example every chance he gets.

I ******* love this ******* team.

the day we turned the corner...and havnt looked back

 

 

Collaros will win MOP, Schoen will win MOR.

Alford or Grant will win special teams 

Lemon for MODP I guess? 
 

MOL would’ve been Derek Dennis if he didn’t break his leg. Not sure who it goes to now.

MOC I’m gonna assume will unanimously be Rourke. The league will want him to win the award.
