Still 2 months & a bit to training camp. Grant was injured a lot last year so like Harris, maybe the Bombers want to see what's out there first.

How can there be anyone much better? Grant is an elite returner.

Soon it will be our fault because we have an arctic.

People will be too busy bitching about vaccine mandates to fight. Stupid people doing stupid things.

This guy... I should quote you his post season awards. Very impressive. 1955 WIFU Shrine All Star 1956 WIFU Shrine All Star 1957 WIFU Shrine All Star 1957 WIFU All Star 1958 CFL West All Star 1958 CFL Coaches All Star 1960 CFL West All Star 1961 CFL West All Star 1962 CFL West All Star 1962 CFL All Canadian 1958, 59, 61 & 62 Grey Cup Champion 1997 Manitobs Sports Hall Of Fame

Simply the best...

It's one thing to play MLB & in the NFL. How many can say they played in the NHL & CFL?

Jeff Croonen. There's a sad story here somewhere regarding being assaulted by a friend/acquaintance who attacked him from behind leaving him with brain damage & his CFL career over. The incident is referred in the link but I can't find details anywhere. Croonen passed away suddenly at age 46 in 2013. I didn't know any of this until I read the link. RIP Jeff. https://www.cflaa.ca/in-memory-of-jeffrey-croonen/

Sorry Noeller... He gave us one of the greatest TD celebrations of all time.

With one leg he can't tread water.

Exactly. Rules for something like this takes the fun away.

Would you want to sit in the same water as Pat King????

Well, since this is a discussion board & there's no fast or strict rules then on the 33rd day before the season starts you'll probably see Harris here that day. He was the GC MVP for us in 2019. We'd have not won both GC's without him.

Just an aside regarding hot tubs during the occupation. Someone tweeted that the water in those cesspools were 2 weeks old. Lol.

There should be some hot tubs available on the cheap. Do what all Winnipeggers do. Leave Winnipeg at 6 am on Game Day, drive to Regina, see the game & drive back. Only 6 hours. Forgot about Ottawa. Yeah, I'd add that city to my list.

In 2013, I heard people had booked hotels in Weyburn & Moose Jaw. Like, why bother even going? Getting in your car after a night of partying & driving for 45 minutes to go sleep somewhere then having to drive back the mext day isn't my idea of fun. Especially after drinking. I'd just stay home if I couldn't get a legit hotel in Regina. The only cities I'd go for the Grey Cup are Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal & Winnipeg.

As long as they played for the Bombers then anyone should be eligible. That's my opinion, anyway.

Let me understand this... Are you saying that former players are disqualified because they played elsewhere afterward? So, Dieter Brock is disqualified because he was traded to Hamilton? Andrew Harris because he's now an Argo? That makes no sense. If a guy played for us he should be allowed to be posted with his number in a Bomber uniform. I agree that Harris shouldn't qualify as an Argo. Or Brock as a Ti Cat. But I'm hoping former players in a Bomber uniform when they played for us are allowed. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong.

Lewis wore #99 until 1959 when numbers were changed.

Leo Lewis...

Last time it was a tour bus company buying all the hotel rooms driving up prices & now this. Regina is too small to host the Grey Cup. It would be like Green Bay hosting the Super Bowl.

If the Russians kill Zelensky &/or his family then he (they) have become martyrs. Nothing Putin does will diminish that. In a lot of ways Putin may win the battles militarily but lose the war as he won't crush the spirits of Ukrainians. Zelensky will inspire the Ukrainians to fight back. No Russian will be safe. Thousands of Russians will die.
