Cameron also holds the record of being the oldest man to play professional football. He beat out George "The Fossil" Blanda by about a month.

Can you imagine what Riderfans would be saying if this were the Bombers?

Well this is something I didn't expect to see from one of their own (" Darrell Davis has reported on the Riders for more than 20 years and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame media wing in 2006") http://3downnation.com/2016/06/03/riders-botched-st-john-negotiations/ Looks like the honeymoon is coming to an end.

This deserves a quote:

They could show Joe Lewis's knock-out punches on the Videotron. Lot's to choose from.

That looks to me like, quite simply, an incredibly dumb offer. If St John holds out I wonder if we could trade for his rights.

You know how we hear about how guys want to play for O'Shea:

Hiring Ed Tait was a great off-field move for the Bombers this year: "Minister of Sinister", gotta love it. http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/05/25/positional-preview-defensive-line/

That's the length of Corney's contract. Well done Kyle.

Sinopoli won the Most Outstanding Canadian award last year by a coin flip. It was that close.

No problem. So long as you start Dan West in those games.

I don't know about these Rider uniforms:

It took them a little time but the Bombers finally made the connection: “The guys who are out here are grown men and I don’t think anyone who is 18 or even 21 is a grown man yet. For him to have done that, I tip my hat to him.” James, who was nicknamed ‘Kid Dynamite,’ still holds a number of club records; most rushing touchdowns in one season (18) and most rushing yards in a single season by a Canadian (1,205) – a mark Harris has not yet achieved but should challenge this year. Harris twice gained over a thousand yards in a season, his best being 1,112 yards in 2012. While he is keeping his personal goals for this first campaign back home in Winnipeg to himself, the Oak Park High School grad’s team goals are ambitious; getting the Bombers back in the playoffs after a four-year absence. And he’s confident that a first or second-place finish in the West Division is not unrealistic. “But my first goal right now is getting to know my teammates, getting to know the coaching staff and just getting familiar with everything and building trust in this locker room” said Harris. “Any successful team I’ve been on has been one that has had a tight knit, family atmosphere. I really think that’s the most important thing. With so many new guys in this locker room, my number one goal is to kind of bring these guys together and knit myself into that group and make sure we are a strong one.” Harris was just one of a number of major free-agent signings by Walters, fuelling much optimism among the Bomber faithful. “There’s a ton of expectations and definitely a little bit of pressure. But I think more than anything, people are excited and we’ve got to deliver.” After 26 years, if this group can deliver a Grey Cup championship back to Winnipeg for the first time since 1990, then Andrew Harris, like Gerry James did long ago, will leave his mark on Blue Bomber history. “I just want to put my stamp on things now and do as much as I can to be in the future one of those guys [like James] that people still talk about.” http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/05/06/188644/

Don't know about retiring numbers in perpetuity but certainly during a player's lifetime.

It's a good day to be a Bomber fan.

Can you imagine what they'd be saying if this had happened to us? So I had to laugh more than a little bit and I didn't hate it at all.

There you have it.

Sounds like there's a good chance that Collaros could miss our week 3 (July 7th) game at Hamilton.

Interesting tweets about this: Doesn't your heart go out to those poor Rider fans who have just seen their team lose a draft pick and some salary cap space for nothing in return ... NOT!

I think that this may be the answer to what everybody's been wondering: http://www.buccaneers.com/news/article-smith/Buccaneers-Sign-QB-Dan-LeFevour/00a3929f-6673-4306-aa10-a1d991fcdd8c

This is interesting! The bloke was released by the Vikings a few days ago and, rather strangely, is eligible for next month's CFL draft. And there's a Bombers connection: http://3downnation.com/2016/04/16/15832/ It would be nice if we could get him but it sounds like he could be drafted way before we get our first pick.

Always liked that guy. Good luck Bryant.

Looks like the Bombers are interviewing everyone of note: http://3downnation.com/2016/03/12/players-interviewing-teams-cfl-combine/
