Firekid Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American defensive end Jay Person to their practice roster. The six-foot-two, 233-pound defender made 228 tackles, 56 tackles for loss, 27 sacks, nine forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and five knockdowns over 48 collegiate games at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He was a two-time AP All-American and was named the conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2022 and 2023. Person most recently spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, appearing in all three preseason games and recording four total tackles. He signed with the team after spending the month of July on the practice roster of the Toronto Argonauts, acquiring his release to return to the NFL. He had previously signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent and was waived in mid-June.

It was especially glorious as they were trying to hype up Szarka into being sellers equal back then and it just wasn't close. Since you mentioned him...

Absolutely. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s such a shame, because the 02 team was actually more talented than 2001. IIRC Stegall broke his collarbone in the WSF, Roberts got hurt at the beginning of the WF and they had to finish the final without either of them. Still almost pulled off a comeback after being down 28 or so. Edmonton was keying on Sellers and Bruce, Khari was throwing to guys like Geoff Drover. Just a brutal loss. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great sum up of what lifelong longterm Bombers fans have endeared so I have no issues with us being a bit edgy when we win or lose. 🙂 wbbfan, Bigblue204 and JohnnyAbonny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stegall got hurt in like the last week of the season, it was ribs. Robert's got hurt first series in the West final, Doug brown was playing through a high ankle sprain and the edmonton grounds grew made sure the turf was abysmal. wbbfan, JohnnyAbonny, Noeller and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted 3 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 3 hours ago My story from that ******* game in 2002... I'm just into my career at the Dauphin radio station at that point and we're part of the Bombers Radio Network... So I'm the in studio producer for that game. I can't remember how bad we were down at the worst part of it, but because I'm producing the ******* thing I have no choice but to listen to every gruesome detail. No shutting the TV off for me.... And then lo and behold, we come BACK and almost win the goddamned thing.... **** what a rollercoaster that night was.

I just got mad thinking about 1 how bad that playing surface was, and 2 how they’d not let visiting teams on it til the last minute so it was always a mad rush to prep cleats. 14 minutes ago, Noeller said: My story from that ******* game in 2002...

Seems like most every one I know will turn it off at some point. I’m just too masochistic to do it, it’s like touching a hot element and refusing to stop lol.

I’ve got better over the years but still challenging for me to keep touching the hot element. Not to mention the fact of how hard it is for me to watch other CFL games that happen right after a loss. I can be a big sore loser (and winner) with the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need some juice on the DL whether or not he gets any chance this year, but could be an interesting piece in 2025.
