It seems to me that Christmas gifting is redundant this year, as we already have had a great gift. Regardless, my best wishes to all and sundry here in the spirit of the season and a repeat for 2020.

Twas the night before Christmas at IG field The bomber store selling some merch that appealed The fans are all happy, some were teared up For the long drought was ended, the Bombers brought home the cup The season had ups and the season had downs But when it mattered the most, the team turned it around Collaros came in throwing the ball The defence was amazing, led by Richie Hall Lapo's attack featured Harris on the ground With the playoff approaching, confidence was refound Dreaded Stampeders first on the list Jefferson and company made Bo Levi pissed Next on the list were the Losers in green The game came to an end when they hit the cross beam Then came the finals, the fight for the mug The Ticats were talking, boy they were smug The Bombers showed up expecting a tough bout By the end of the fourth, there was no doubt The season had begun with hope and promise And at the end, Earl Grey,was help up by Jake Thomas On Hardrick and Bryant and the rest of the Hogs Dash Demski and Adams and other key cogs Unsung heroes like Exume and Rempel and Miller And that German guy, Hansen, the Ticat killer Nichols and the rest of the guys that were hurt Picked the rest up and wiped off their dirt Those that remember the 80's with delight Can only hope the 2020's will be as bright O'Shea is re-signed, Walters has too Now we will need to sign a QB or two The players have gone home, the season a blur But everybody remembers, Strevie in a fur Long time lurker first time poster, Happy holidays!

You know... I approve this post, even without context.

Merry Christmas to all and sundry on MBB - do try not to boil yourselves in your own pudding...

Yeah he one of guys I wished we could have got a cup for..was a leader and mentor here..and all around classy guy...wouldn't have pulled a gaitor on us if he got demoted that's for sure

No doubt, I feel for guys like him, Goosen (even if he has moved on to a good career and was not around an overly long time), and Wild. Randle was a very big part of the team's turn around

And so could a nutless monkey.

I wouldn't say anyone is getting upset about it, more like simply mocking the stupidity of it.

A sample (it's a long poem):

Oh yeah. Almost forgot:

maybe the wrong holiday, but I am thankful for this place and for all of you, I don't know how much of a Bomber fan I'd be without you. all the best of the season to everyone on MBB, to the Blue Bombers, and to the entire CFL. I love this nutty league of ours.

What happens on the colony, stays on the colony....

May the joy and peace of this season be with each of you.

Merry Christmas guys,and gals. And lets hope for a repeat of 19 , as in another championship. Go Blue!!!

I suggest the nutless monkey replace one of the local media voting on next year's Bombers outstanding player nominees.

and people were ready to fire them this season. These guys have done a great job of creating consistent winning teams and transforming the team no one wanted to play for into a place that players and coaches want to be. Oh yeah, and they won the 2019 Grey Cup.

That was my initial reaction after seeing his chart. It makes more sense if you read his article where he broke things down into a few categories like a lock to happen, unlikely to happen or what he would like to see personally. I still disagree with 95% of it but at least I can kinda see where he was coming from now. At the end of the day, it's an off-season filler article that anyone of us could have come up with (and most likely done a better job).

I have several concerns about this guy. Firstly, he is wearing colours like the TiCats, secondly, every time someone called him by name, the quarterback would hit the ground, and lastly, he ought to be playing hockey in Annaheim.

Rewatched the grey cup whilst wrapping gifts last night. Still brings excitement when the final whistle blew. Harris and Demski celebrating... Willie strutting with his championship belt (did he ever give it back?)... Hard to believe that was 1 month ago. Lots of smiles and holiday cheer from Bomber fans! Happy holidays to you all!

Im just upset that the Stamps are in black and the RedBlacks are in red.

okay so, someone else will have to do the game day thread on friday because I'll be busy and likely won't be home til partway through the first period

Oh ****... is he the guy who was all about the Vegas golden knights when the jets were in a play off series?

Quit trying to justify your stupid anti Nichols comments. No one cares if you're butthurt because you perceive you're being attacked. If you don't like it, then stop slagging Nichols. Otherwise, you're fair game. Even some of the mods think you're a troll.

**** the Riders.

And a team with at moment the whole oline as free agents. The whole linebacking crew..half the defensive backfield and 3 starting receivers..their punter..and really no depth currently on club.. and if they lose a canadian or 2 in free agency..they are royally screwed...yup..set up for years

"2019 was the year of Cody Fajardo"

I'd rather go play in traffic. Happy Festivus, troll.

#8 in our year in Ed Tait’s review series.“we would soon learn about the 2019 Bombers as the playoffs opened was this: adversity doesn’t just build character, it reveals it.” Do yourself a favour, follow, and read everything Ed Tait puts out there regarding the Winnipeg Football Club.You will not regret it. He’s the best..

Not always a given. Once I think she complimented my butt when she looked at me and said,"What an ass", but I'm still not sure.

All I remember is that virtually none of us had even heard of him, but the second the deal was announced, @Mikewas talking about what a huge addition it was going to be. Sure enough, was our best DB for a few years....

Since I seldom post, Merry Christmas everyone! Gotta say, opening four different pieces of 2019 BOMBER GREY CUP CHAMPIONS gifts has been a life long dream of mine.

I assume some do have an open fire for chestnut roasting purposes...😉

Hypocrisy??? That's rich. The only troll I know for sure that is here is you. And that spin about LaPo doesn't help. Just makes you look even more like a fool.

Willie's interview right after the game ended where he said "home boy can put pants on now..slap them suckers on" made me bust a gut

Also using Pacino's speech from Any Given Sunday...c'mon man create your own motivation..

I've always said, tna just needs more visibility. Nothing wrong with their product.

Santa came early this year for all of us. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I still remember the story of when he brought a mirror into a meeting for the players to look into... I don't know how much truth there is to that rumour... but the fact I can see him doing it- says a lot. Can you Imagine OSH coming in to a meeting to takl about players accepting responsibility and for some self reflection... with a mirror? Neither can I...

At least make up something that is a tad believable and that you actually follow the CFL....Poor job Ferguson .

Why is Mo Leggett not on this list...

Kelly Moore did a Bomber version of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on the radio this moring: https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-vault-cjob/ December 24, 7:00am, starts at 52:52.

So, can I ask why the Jekyll and Hyde with this team? We seem to go from blowing teams away to getting blown away.

Taking on the OC duties is just a poor decision. He is a good coach, but I'm not convinced he is a good head coach. Swaggerville carried 2011

Oh great, Leafs score three goals in 60 seconds against the Canes in the third. We will hear about this for the remainder of the season and possibly next season. Ugh.

Even if his shoulder is compromised... someone will at least sign him. The only QB that may have used his last life last season would be Jennings....

The 3DownNation all-decade CFL team: specialistsCan’t argue very much with the fans’ choices for the first four players to be named to the 3DownNation all-decade CFL team.Just for the fun of it... Place kicker - Justin MedlockPunter - Rob Maver Returner - Brandon Banks Long Snapper - Chad Remplehttps://3downnation.com/2019/12/22/the-3downnation-all-decade-cfl-team-specialists/

Tait*er*Gems: Winnipeg had 31 pending free agents as ’18 came to a close. This year we had 25, 4 of which have been extended. Last year, they attacked that free agent group significantly: re-signing Adam Bighill, Nic Demski, Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick, Brandon Alexander, Jesse Briggs, Michael Couture, Shayne Gauthier, Jeff Hecht, Jackson Jeffcoat, Justin Medlock, Thomas Miles, Chad Rempel, John Rush, Jake Thomas and Kyrie Wilson, and then Drake Nevis a few weeks into the proceedings. This year, so far...Hardrick, Wolitarsky, Maston and Neufeld have been extended Then we were hit by losing 3 Canadian starters...Loffler and Chungh to FA and Goosen to retirement. Also...Released : Chris Randle, Moe Leggett, Kevin Fogg, Jovan Santos-Knox, Tristan Okpalaugo and Ian Wild and the retirement of Weston Dressler https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/12/21/year-review-reloading-2018/ That is quite the list the Bomber lost and overcame. Can we do it again? I think so!

Jefferson was on 1290 yesterday. Nothing really new but the gist was NFL opportunities if its the right fit or likely back to Winnipeg.
