happy b-day Bob. You are legitimately the only bigger Bomber fan on this earth other than me, and you've been a huge part of my Bomber experience since 1977 when I went to my first Bomber game. You rock buddy.

Looking at the historical data, I don't believe that this is correct. The Stampeders definitely took Mike Labinjo in the third round in 2003, but no where do I see that that pick was originally Winnipeg's. More-over, it seems strange that Calgary would accept a draft pick in 2003 for a player whose rights were being sent over to Winnipeg in late 2000 or early 2001. Now if you look at the 2002 CFL draft, Calgary drafted Oosterhuis in the first round with Winnipeg's original pick. Using logic, I would assume that this was the actual pick that Calgary got for Brown, and it would jive with the memories of a lot of people here. What was especially humorous was that we ended up getting Oost after Calgary cut him in 2002, which meant that we got our first rounder pick (assuming we would have taken Oost) and therefore Brown for essentially nothing.

at least he acknowledges his ignorance. The Bombers could trot out 100 non-rostered players for a full practice in front of Wiecek and he'd be completely oblivious, and never once even admit he should have known better.

I had to watch that hit on Shaw a few times that resulted in the first Fogg interception. Quite the explosion - helmet, mouth guard flying everywhere. Haven't seen that kind of Bomber football in a long time.

Paul Bennett?

yet the way we've been winning games lately I've been transported back to those glorious 1980's years. Still waiting for a Ty Jones like star to arise on D, for now I am thinking Westerman is as close as we've got.

yes I found myself thinking that the other day too - Royal Blue = finally on the road to recovery after wandering in the wilderness since 1991.

weird though that he would just take off on the Jets like that. Without even saying good bye. Not a good sign.

Bye week so excuse me for digressing...but you brought up Norm....

Bilukudi for Burris - straight up! We need some humility on this team!

Easy come easy go anyway, the Riders blow

what I find hilarious is that the Rider fans actually believe that they are so important to the league that they should just be able to get away with anything and everything. That is just so delusional.

any interest in Ernest Jackson? Drew Willy's former Buffalo target?

So you think you can insult me and spit in my eye???? Oh baby, can't do this to me babyJust gotta get out just gotta get right outta here

You should be planning the Grey Cup parade right now.

Jeffrey Orridge has a fine put aside for me!For me!!!!For me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pedersen at home with his pets...

I remember someone saying that Kris Adams is a guy they've been working on for two - three years as well. So far, I'm not seeing what the scouts are seeing. Helps to have Bond beside you. That's for sure.

March 9, 2016 WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed International offensive lineman Travis Bond. Bond (6-6, 329, North Carolina, December 10, 1990 in Windsor, NC) was drafted by Minnesota in the 7thround of the 2013 NFL Draft. After spending time on their practice roster, Bond also was with Carolina and St Louis from 2013-2015. He played in 51 career games for North Carolina over four seasons, starting 29. Looks like we couldn't have gotten Bond up here any quicker. He had to make sure his NFL career was over. Kind of like Mulumba and Bilikudi.

imagine another Bond on the other side between Goosen and Foketi/Hardrick. Andrew Harris would get 250 yards of rushing every game. The only issue would be having to start another NI at WR or at LB/DB.

yes well if we do gloat too much they will threaten to not attend the Banjo Bowl. We know they are bluffing as they all want to take advantage of their annual exposure to indoor plumbing.

watching the play again, the Argo player jumped right in front of Goosen, who seemed to just react to the jump by snapping the ball, rather than waiting for the cadence from Nichols. But that's just my observation.

you mean like its coming around for the Riders right now?
