Sad news to report this evening that ex-Bombers coach Cal Murphy has passed away at age 79. Murphy helped assemble some of the greatest Blue Bomber teams ever, in the 80s and early 90s. He was instrumental in bringing three Grey Cups home to Winnipeg from 1984-90.

Indeed a sad time.. Cal was always something to see on tv or in person.. and I am grateful he helped bring the Grey Cup to Winnipeg for sure.. now I wonder if the Bombers will honor him before the home opener?? Would be one emotional honoring for sure?
