Nick name? BB_Blitz
Position played or most likely to play?
I played DE and QB in my  "prime" 
Favourite CFL team? 
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Why are they your favourite team?
 I've been a fan since I was 5, as my next door neighbour back in the 60's was Roger Hamelin, DT in the the Kenny Ploen GC days. Also, the Bombers used to practice a few blocks from where I grew up in old St.B and Bud Grant, the legend, used to give us dimes for fetching the balls back (and free tickets in the ' endzone club '.
If you were abducted by Super Models and forced to cheer for another CFL team who would it be? '
Forced' is the key word here. Nahhh...forget it....even super models couldn't make me do that.
Other League Favourite teams? 
Like I said.....
Favourite CFL stadium? 
I've been to 5 stadiums and I still think Canad is the place to be. Really gets rockin'
Favourite current player? 
Charles Roberts
Favourite former player? 
Joe Poplawski ( but there are many others)
Favourite Food? 
Fast Food....Pizza all the way. BTW...if any of you are ever in Winnipeg, check out the Dairi Wip on Marion Street in St. Boniface. They came 2nd in a Canada wide burger contest a few yers back. Double cheese is my fav.
Fine Dining.....I love BBQ ribs...especially Kelsey's

Favourite Beer? 
Labatt Lite now as I rarely drink much anymore. Canadian was my main beer growing up though.
Favourite Alcoholic Beveridge? 
Beer and nothing but. 
Favourite Non-Alcoholic Beveridge?
Tea.....I drink so much of that stuff I've developed an English accent
Favourite Tunes? 
I like all music from the 60's - 90's. Some of my favourite bands are Stones, Guess Who, Bob Seger, Eagles among others
Favourite Movie? 
My 2 favourites are ' Planes, Trains & Automobiles ' and ' Scarface '
Hobbies? 
This site certainly has become a big one. I hack around on my guitar a bit but my skills are fading fast as I hardly ever pick it up anymore. 
Preferred banned substance smuggling technique?
Hmmmmmmmm....next question......
Best Grey Cup Host City? 
Actually I've never been to a GC game. I was living in N. Ontario for 15 years and missed the 2 that were held in Wpg. I'm gonna get to a few yet though.
My dream vacation is.... 
board a giant cruise ship and sail the Carribean and escape a cold Winnipeg winter. The closest I've come to that so far is a cruise down the Red River on the Paddlewheel Queen.
Favorite team memory? 
Again...Bombers winning the GC in '84 after a long, long 22 year draught.
Strangest thing you have seen at a football game? 
Wow....I've been going to the stadium since the '60s and right now I really can't think of anything strange. Must be something though....hmmmmm.
Favourite CFL uniform? 
I like them all except....there's something about that Rider green....aghhhh !
Words you live by?
Enjoy what you have and don't take everything so serious....even a Bomber loss...lol.
