Bud Grant & Ken Ploen circa 1966

Captain Blue.

The 1984 Grey Cup Champions. It was the Bombers first Grey Cup win in 22 years.

Blue Bomber fullback #28 Gerry James gets a great block on a Ti Cat defender from Guard #56 Ed Kotowich in the 1959 Grey Cup. Hamilton's Defensive Guard #54 Ernie Danjean & Blue Bomber Running back #21 Charlie Shepard looks on.

That injury wasn't the OL fault. However, I thought the hit on Manziel was a deliberate headshot. The Ottawa defender aimed for Manziel's head & gave him a shoulder shot. There should be a penalty & suspension.

As Mark H said, let's see if any Liberal icons are removed like Laurier. Won't hold my breath.

I stand by my comments. You can leave anytime & cheer for "an elite team". The Argos are so desperate they'd welcome you with open arms. They won the GC last season so they're elite.

You can leave anytime & cheer for the Eskimos. Or any other team you'd like. You won't be missed.

No, the nicknames would give it away.

Lankford hasn't shown much when he's in there. Petermann is the heir apparent to Dressler maybe even as early as next season. He should be playing.

Why not play Petermann? What's he have to do to show he should start?

I think he is a former Winnipegger living in Seattle. Or a Canadian. I know USABomberFan isn't American.

This may be a rather cute article about an infamous deed in the 1957 Grey Cup between the Blue Bombers & the Tiger Cats but it's hard to have any respect for David Humphrey. Using alcohol as an excuse to try & start a fight on the Hamilton bench, then later in the game tripping Hamilton's Bibbles Bawel on the playing field after an interception, wanting to then fight Bawel & finally stealing a chair from the stadium?? Well, blaming it all on alcohol just doesn't cut it for me. Would some people that day back in 1957 have said that his actions of being an ******* on the sidelines were okay had Humphrey driven his car in his drunken state & ran down a pedestrian? Or caused an accident that killed or injured himself or others afterwards? Somehow, I doubt it but here we are giving s stupid drunk his twenty minutes of fame (again) by saying it was the alcohol that made him do it. Therefore somehow making it okay. Again, that doesn't cut it with me. He also hid behind the Toronto Telegram's lawyers to keep his identity a secret for 2 decades because he was too cowardly to come forward & say that it was he who caused the mayhem that day. Even more unbelievable, the Toronto police were also in on this entire sordid affair as it appears that they could have arrested Humphrey but chose not to. These same idiot police officers who saw him in an alcohol induced frenzy on the sideline still let him drive home afterwards. Even for 1957 that is shocking. Funny how Humphrey clearly remembers talking to a cop about taking the chair yet claimed he didn't remember everything else. Humphrey embarrassed himself, the Blue Bombers & the entire CFL even though it was called the Canadian Football Council back then yet suffered no consequences whatsoever for his actions. He has since passed away but I don't sense he had that much remorse & fell back on the yuck, yuck, yuck "too much alcohol" excuse for his actions that day. The sad thing is that he was a lawyer who was later made an Ontario Provincial Court judge. I wonder how many drunks he sent to jail over the years for any number of offenses because of alcohol while he sat on the Bench? When in reality it was Humphrey who should have spent time behind bars like the rest of us would have had we done what he did. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/fifty-years-later-the-tripper-returns-to-the-scene-of-the-crime/article1327897/

The Blue Bomber sideline just moments away from winning the 1958 Grey Cup. A 35-28 win over the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Offensive Halfback #97 Gord Rowland, Offensive Tackle #62 Roger Savoie, Offensive Guard/Defensive Tackle #78 Ron Meadmore, Offensive Tackle #63 Steve Patrick, & #80 Offensive Halfback/ Kicker Bob Stransky are getting ready to bust out. Someone hidden behind the players holding the obligatory cigarette while trying not to accidentally burn the player next to him in the excitement.

Grant does look rather sharp in that outfit. #sartorialcoachingsplendour

His head is worth ten cents.

Did you know that Bud Grant wrote a book about Canadian Football? Yep, he sure did.

Quarterback Ken Ploen doesn't seem too impressed with Head Coach Bud Grant posing for a pre game photo on the Blue Bombers sideline.

Campbell is no boy scout.

Your fanbase has to wear this. From past behaviour & our experience with a lot of them. The vocal minority (like Migs) called Priders spoiled it for everyone.

He's come on here quite a bit using different names & slants to troll. Everytime he's been thrown out & banned.

This would be around 1998 or 99...

Because he is so pathetic, it's actually fun to out him.

Migs is brilliant here. Infiltrate & destroy from within. Of course we all know Migs is a loser with an inferiority complex about the Riders, Regina, Saskatchewan & no life. When the Riders lose, he has nothing to justify his sorry existence so he gets bored & comes here. Wash, rinse & repeat.
