Mr Dee Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Congratulations to MOS on the induction. That guy was everywhere on the field and made many a man pay for carrying the ball. He had a true middle linebacker's sense to where the play was going and he was usually the first man on the scene. Well deserved...

BBlink Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Congrats Mike! A coach/man we can be proud of. Hopefully one day he'll be worthy of being inducted as a coach too! Edited March 23, 2017 by BBlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 with the list they had I'm surprised they went 2 builders, but equally as surprised as they could induct 1 more person (7 total) but opted with 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 What a fine letter written by Wade Miller on the HOF induction of Mike O'Shea. Some sample lines... "I’m honoured to have attended the official inductee announcement of Mike O’Shea into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, even though it was in Saskatchewan." "His career stats – 16 seasons, 1,154 tackles, 30 sacks, three Grey Cup rings, two as a player and one as a coach" "a team-first attitude, a willingness to do whatever it took for teammates, and always having their backs while being focused on winning. He had a relentless work ethic, was forever holding his teammates accountable, and was never worried about hurting someone’s feelings if they weren’t playing for the team. He led by example, first by being a student of the game and then becoming another defensive coach on the field, with the only difference being that this coach would rip your head off if given the chance." "What makes him stand out the most is his passion for the CFL and being a Canadian. He played each game like it was his last and always had fun along the way on and off the field." http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/03/23/wade-miller-coach-oshea/ Noeller, JCon and Fred C Dobbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigg jay Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 He could have ended it after that 1st sentence and it still would have a great letter! Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 One helluva linebacker in his day....You tread very carefully when O'Shea was around the ball..Very deserving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I knew Kelvin Anderson was a good back, but I didn't realize he had eight straight 1000-yard seasons. Holy cow, that's amazing. Backs don't last as long these days... I remember a game during O'Shea's rookie year where he had like 20 tackles for the Ti-Cats, he was all over the field, like he was seeing the play a minute before it happened. Soon as I could, I changed my football number to 59. Been a huge fan ever since and was over the moon when the Bombers hired him.

Noeller Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 MOS was always a guy I respected, even on another team. There were very few opposing team players that I didn't despise...MOS was a guy I always respected because he seemed like the ultimate lunch-pail, perfect teammate guy......he was the Jonathan Toews of CFLers....
