Why do Winnipeg blue bombers suck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Bombers Suck because they don't have a clue how to keep and develop the good players they do get into camp. They continually hire head office and coaches that are more interested in conflict and confrontation that team development and unity. The Bombers generally have way more action and controversy in the club house than they do on the field, which is a huge distraction to the players. I believe they got rid of a lot of good players and kept a coach that did not perform well. Some players are not interested in coming to Winnipeg for that reason.

He is back in the NFL! He is playing for the Washington Redskins.

The Mike Sellers that plays with Washington is a tight end...there is no mention of him playing in the Canadian Football League...his bio indicates he played with other NFL teams but no Canadian teams...is this the same Mike Sellers?

Why are they called Winnipeg Blue Bombers?

Asked by Wiki User

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (officially the Winnipeg Football Club) was formed in 1930 as the Winnipeg Winnipegs. The name was certainly not original in the slightest, and was soon shortened to the Winnipeg Pegs. The Pegs adopted their present colours of blue and gold in 1932. They soon became a football powerhouse on the Canadian prairies. In 1935, the Winnipeg Pegs became the first team from western Canada to win the Grey Cup. The following summer, the Winnipeg Pegs were playing an exhibition game in North Dakota. Apparently they were trouncing their opposition that day. Joe Louis, then the reigning heavyweight boxing champion, was known by the nickname "the brown bomber" because he also thoroughly trounced most of his opponents. Legend has it that during the game a young sports reporter with the Winnipeg Tribune, Vince Leah, happened to remark, "these are the blue bombers of football," which was a takeoff on the nickname for Joe Louis. Since that day the Winnipeg Football Club has been known as the Blue Bombers.

When did Winnipeg leave the western division of the CFL and become part of the eastern division?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been shuttled back and forth over the years. Prior to the start of the 1987 regular season, the original Montreal Alouettes folded. That caused the Bombers to move to the Eastern Division for the first time.

In 1996, the Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal, at which time, the Bombers moved back to the Western division.

After the 1996 season, the Ottawa Rough Riders folded, which again caused the Bombers to move to the Eastern division.

In 2002, the Ottawa Renegades came into the league, and once again, the Blue Bombers moved to the Western division.

And finally, at the end of the 2005 season, the Ottawa Renegades suspended operations, and once again, the Blue Bombers moved to the Eastern division.
