Sent in my entry for the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Canadian Football League, fan Fantasy Camp, today at Winnipeg Stadium to
92CitiFm locally, a great classic rock station I get my sports and morning fix in every day. Told them I was a fan for life, since late 50's and early 60's team glory years under Bud Grant. I was just a kid and my father took me to after Grey Cup celebrations. About the same time I caught on with Hank Aaron and the then Milwaukee Braves and have been their fan and Aaron my sports hero every since.
Also said I wanted to see if this team was for real and if we had had a real change of talent and attitude, especially since Winnipeg is hosting the 2006 Grey Cup this year. How will I tell? But it sounded good in the entry. So my mid 50's body but in not too bad shape, is off in a few minutes to live a dream fantasy-practice with pro footballers who I will be watching all year.
Pictures and stories to come. Movie deal later! Watch for
BlueBombersBlog coming soon
