Noeller Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 ...so apparently the Stamps asked Doug Brown to come play for the Stamps after they lost some guys to injury late in the year. He told 'em no, 'cause Winnipeggers would kill him, essentially. Attaboy, Big Bird....that woulda been BRUTAL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Plus being out of football for almost two years, and being almost 40, he'd be pretty awful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Plus being out of football for almost two years, and being almost 40, he'd be pretty awful.... I don't disagree, but Belli did it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hard to just give up his day job & leave on a moments notice to go to Calgary. Then there are the injury factors. As far as I know Doug retired fairly healthy. Being out of football shape he would be running the risk of getting hurt for truly not a lot of money. I can see why he never came back. He also has no playing history with the Stamps. If it was the Bombers in the Eastern Final & was asked to come back for the playoffs I could see him saying yes.

What exactly does he do? Thought he just wrote his free press column and did part time work for cjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousBIG Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Brown sells orthopaedic implants, hip and knee replacements. Really? Pulling a Walby and leveraging his name into pharmaceutical (or in his case, medical-surgical) sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
