Duke played at Alabama & came into the CFL as a rookie with the Riders in 1970. He then played one season with the Lions in 1971. He played 4 seasons for the Bombers from 1972-75. Never missed a game.

I have a 3 game Flex pack. I haven't picked the games yet but the Banjo Bowl is a given. Slight wrench has been thrown in as my wife's cousin passed away a couple of weeks ago & her family is planning a memorial either in June or July. My son & daughter in law in Seattle are going to Mexico in in October for their fourth wedding anniversary. We're going down for a week to house sit & take care of their dog. So, I'll have to work around those two committments.

Me, after I couldn't find a picture of former Blue Bomber Defensive End Jim Duke #65 anywhere in the Internet who was one of my favourite players back in the day. This may be the back door way for him to get the recognition I think he deserved. So be it.

Did you buy a Flex Pack?

The Greatest Offensive Lineman in Team history:

Watched Wrestlemania this weekend. Some of the matches like Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair & Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins were outstanding. Others like Sammy Zayn vs Johnny Knoxville were cringeworthy. Zayn looks like he doesn't work out anymore being skinny with a gut. Not that he has ever looked like he spent any time in a gym, anyway. Speaking of cringeworthy, what the hell kind of a match was that with Pat MacAfee & Vince McMahon? MacAfee looked surprisingly good vs Austin Theory & then was forced to job for a 75 year old McMahon who had no business being in the ring at his age. Leave it to Steve Austin to come out to try & save that stinker by slapping around Theory, then putting the Stone Cold Stunner on Vince twice failing both times. The first time Vince timed his jump back too early & he fell back against the ropes. The second time McMahon appeared to slip & just fell down. Bobby Lashley slayed Omos who has sloth like speed & I'll say it here now. In 6 months, it'll be Omos Who? if he doesn't start improving. The guy can't wrestle. The big match for the unification of the two heavyweight titles was a dud which had a quick but not really a surprising ending. Vince's push of Roman Reigns continues so no surprise he won but fans are getting pissed off. Reigns needs to drop the title soon.

Harrison was a very good tackle & a Canadian which is nearly unheard of today. He protected Don Jonas' blindside during the brief resurgence of the team under Head Coach Jim Spavital in 1971-72 when the Bombers offensive line was the best in the CFL & were known as "The Hogs". Before Jonas, he also made sure that quarterbacks like Ken Ploen, Rich Badar, Lou Confessori, John Schneider, Luther Selbo, Rick Cassatta, Ron Johnson, Wally Gabler & Benji Dial were well taken care of as well.

Someone has to do it as our national media based in Toronto seem to think all Canadians care about are the Leafs, Raptors & Blue Jays.

Ep 24: Beer, Bombers & Ball LIVE at Brazen Hall!
SpeedFlex27 replied to Zach Schnitzer's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
When I'm at the next Bomber game. I have a Flex Pack. Live in Calgary. I haven't picked my games yet as my wife's dumbass management won't approve holidays for the next year until mid April. Some people have been waiting since January for approval. What a shitty way to treat employees. Ah, time for a Whiskey & Coke. -
"Wait a minute. I'd have done that."

The sad part is nothing will happen to Putin. He'll be treated like a statesman once this war ends. Especially by the GOP in the US. Unfortunately, you'll be waiting a long time.

Lol!!! I stopped drinking beer many years before I ever drove a school bus. Always sober, I may add. -
2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I agree but the problem with the CFL is the people that have caused all the problems are the ones put in charge to fix it. Which they can't do. Someone like Victor Cui should be running this league & Randy Ambrosie should be a team president, at best. The wrong people are in place. -

Having grown up with **** beer like Molson Canadian starting in the early 70's, I'm all for promoting local craft beer & food with the Bombers & Jets. Back then, we only had a few choices like Canadian, Blue, Pilsener & a couple others. Of all those to me, Labatt's Blue was the superior beer. Labatt's was a major Bomber sponsor back then. There's a rwason why I stopped drinking beer decades ago & just drink hard stuff now. -

I think based on the empty seats in every city when there's a CFL game, Lalji's response might be, "Why not??" People aren't coming out to watch anyway. -
Randy Ambrosie has informed the CFLPA that the bargaining committee for the owners are taking a 3 1/2 week Easter break starting today. Ambrosie is very excited as he's going on an extensive Value Village scarf hunt in major US cities. CFLPA President Solomon Elimimian says he's both shocked & disappointed with the owner's decison to stall CBA talks for nearly a month with training camp fast approaching. When told of Elimimian's comments, Ambrosie responded with a hearty, "Yeeeeee haaaaaa!!!" They'll get back to work April 26th.
