What about the emergence of Oliveira? That's a bigger storyline to me. All the pressure of becoming the starter, seemingly pushing his mentor out the door, with all the weight of back-to-back championships now on his shoulders to carry. Oliveira is the storyline. Harris who? He's not even their top RB. Go Bombers!

You continue with your hours, days and your months- My years are counted in Grey Cups now...

We were yelling and staring at the clock, just watching in disbelief at what was happening. Truly one of the highlights of my many Bomber experiences. I will never forget it.

It had turned red from being in Saskatchewan too long 🤣

First real football team to use the home locker room...

I love Harris. Absolute fav. 8 is more important to this team. Without Zach, Zach, the Grey Cup Maniac, we're still in a drought.

Suitor says hold my beer.

Back on topic, the revenge of Harris storyline is a bit of a dud IMO. The Bombers thought it was time to move on from a highly paid, aging and injury ridden (yet still effective) running back in favour of developing the next one. They were 100% right in hindsight, regardless of what happens on Sunday. Tough to play as some sort of redemption arc if you ask me.

For those who missed last night's game.

I don’t think Fajardo is signing up to play for a guy who openly called him a bad QB

Ah Abbott

Ricky Ray appeared to him in a dream and told him to go to Dagobah

A well coiffed Jesus Christ straight out of a Men's Hairstyling Shop in Regina & a Winnipeg Blue Bomber season ticket holder since AD 1930 shown here busy converting Rider fans in becoming ardent followers of the Blue Bombers.

I know this has been said before, but, let's all really enjoy this. This is very unusual. I went from being 10 years old to 39 with no championships in between. This is truly the best of times as a Bomber fan, and I am very grateful and humbled by it.

While nodding my head typing Jessica Chastain into google search.

Bombers have trouble playing in TO but the match ups at IG Field have not been close the past few years.

Yeah slow your roll there. Harris has a place among the team legends but he ain't the most important player in the teams history.

Yep, per Adam Schefter, Rourke begins NFL workouts next week. He’s likely going to get his shot.

All week it's going to dominate the media cycle, and I suspect much like BC and Rourke being the media story the Bombers will get tired of hearing about it and do what they did this past Sunday and remind people why they are 2 time defending champions and why they went 15-3 this season and why they are the best team in the league.

We already have a RB. Pass on CoFaj - why are we even discussing this? Dru Brown is the guy

Thanks for the Congrats.....I just hope to hell I'm right on Sun......that'll be the cherry on top

It's a very Canadian trait to crap on Canadians who have made good. Rourke has nothing to do with the hype machine and by all accounts is a grounded, classy athlete (also Canadian traits). I really don't understand the hate. He was a good story in a league that needs good stories.

Marcus Sayles getting a CFL all star is a hilarious joke. Please

O'Shea > entire argos organization. Every. Damn. Time. I feel like that "My dad can beat up your dad." kid right now...

They knew the rule because O'Shea is on the competition committee who would of put the rule in and he probably has the rule book memorized from to back.

All you guys talking about most important players and everyone forgetting the field goal post in the 2019 WF

Everybody knows Harris will downplay it himself, but make no mistake that guy has a chip on his shoulder about it and it will be obvious. just the player he is. He plays the game angry and uses those chips he's collected to motivate himself.

Off the top of my head, in terms of importance to the team - Ken Ploen, Leo Lewis, Jack Jacobs, Bud Grant simply because had he not played here he likely would have not coached here later (lots of you younger guys forget to look past 2001), arguably Milt Stegall for his impact if not the Cup wins. If you are merely looking at the climb to the Grey Cup this recent go-round, Matt Nichols was huge in resurrecting the team from the ashes, Willie Jefferson and Adam Bighill led the defence which is really what the team won on the back of, Zach Collaros is just as if not more important, even Justin Medlock given how many close games we won on kicking points. I’ll even consider a Speedflex argument about Don Jonas in terms of “importance”. And I haven’t even touched on the core of those 1980’s Grey Cup teams. Or the overlooked importance of o-linemen like Chris Walby and Stanley Bryant.

Just another example of the shoddy takes by pissbaby fanboys posing as sports writers on 3DN. At least whoever runs their Twitter account doesn't take things too seriously:

I don’t think guys like Alexander, Bighill, Jefferson, Jeffcoat etc etc are going to be easy on Harris. I have a feeling they are going to tee up on him and know his moves from years of practice against him. I’m really not worried about Harris having a big game. we also have to factor in the O’Shea factor who is 6-0 in Grey Cups as a player/coach. I’m no math wiz but that’s like 100%…

good to win, yet that Arizona election was very close. it is disturbing that a person as stupid as kari lake , gets 49 % of the vote. this voter stupidity problem is not easy to fix.

the Revenge Of Harris storyline feels a bit like Revenge of Glenn in 2011 EF......

MBT kinda scares me, both as a potential psychopath and QB. He always seems to put up big numbers and have good games against us. Richie Hall should go watch his 2 games against Calgary this year to see what they were doing. He was hot trash and didnt throw a single TD in either game against 3 INT's. Me thinks this game is going to be very close.

I did the same thing. Im standing there watching and waiting for them to break the huddle and theyre all just standing there. I was yelling "Holy s**t, look at the clock, what the F are they doing?!?!" Lol. I dont think ive ever seen anything like that in my life.

That was a helluva thing to watch. As Suitor said, it was a disaster for the Lions. Rourke just looked lost. Didn't have a clue what to do. I kept thinking of the days in multiple years during the mid 80's in the playoffs at BC Place when 54000 fans did the same thing to us. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

We know what attributes O'Shea values in players, just look at the common traits all the Bombers share... cofaj has none of that. Just look at the way the Bombers interview- sure there is a little bit of the "me" and "I" but it is always about the team. Look at cofaj's interviews in the last 5 months... cofaj is more FO than FI. ALso... cofaj just sucks. Like, bad. I do appreciate what you are trying to say about the buy-in to the locker room culture, I just feel that cofaj is not a good fit.

I plan to live until 150 which may be the next time the Riders win a Cup.

It's not whether Faj would come to Wpg, it's that Wpg has no use for Faj. How can you compare him to Willie?? Willie was a DMOP All Star player. Faj is a career 3rd stringer cosplaying a starter....

Just a little clarification if anyone is interested:

Faj isn't FIFO. No chance he ends up here under this regime.

Interesting fact I’m not sure many know. But regardless of how many more we win the Bombers will be the first and last team listed on the cup for the next 100+ years. Since we won it in 2019 we were the last name plate on the cup. In 2021 they removed the Ticats plate and replaced it with the Bombers. So until each plate is removed we will be on there at least twice until they are all replaced. This does not include the 12 original plates around the top of course as they will not be removed.

Maybe his parents consummated their passions on top of an Eaton's appliance.

Stegall calls him the “worst best QB in the CFL” and I think it’s completely accurate.
