Bud Grant and our panel have had their say. Now its your turn. The Free Press and TSN 1290 are proud to jointly announce our All-Time Bombers Team as selected by you, our readers and listeners. Over the next nine weeks, well present a position each week with our panels choices of the top-five Winnipeg Blue Bombers to ever play for the club at that spot. The voting will commence today. Click here to cast your vote - http://alltimebombers.winnipegfreepress.com On Friday afternoons at 4 p.m., live on TSN 1290s Hustler and Lawless program, the Free Press and TSN 1290 websites, as well as the Saturday edition of the Winnipeg Free Press, well announce the winner and member of the All-Time Bombers Team. The Free Press print and digital editions as well as www.tsn1290.ca will run stories every Monday putting forth the position of the week and finalists selected by our panel. Voting will take place on both websites. Legendary Blue Bombers player and coach Bud Grant headlines our panel. Grant was joined by former Bombers player and GM Paul Robson, Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee and Free Press sports reporter Ed Tait, Free Press columnist and TSN 1290 host Gary Lawless and TSN 1290s Andrew “Hustler” Paterson. Panelists were provided a statistical breakdown of the Bombers dating back to the 1950s as well as an anecdotal package of the early Bombers teams when statistics were not recorded. Each panelist brought a unique perspective and personal set of criteria. Grant joined the group via conference call from a cabin in the Wisconsin woods while the rest huddled around a boardroom table at the Free Press. From Grants gravelly voice emanating out of the telephone speaker, to Taits vivid recollections of games and players, to Robsons cold analysis of a players strengths and weaknesses, to Patersons views from the upper decks of our stadiums, there were strong opinions all around. Some players were quickly selected. Others were hotly debated. Sometimes it came down to a clash of eras. Others made it on the merit of championship wins while those without rings on their fingers were often set aside. This week, its your turn to pick the All-Time Bombers Team quarterback. Vote a maximum of once per day and help choose the Blue Bombers player you consider the best at the following positions to be presented in this order: Quarterback, offensive lineman, linebacker, kicker, kick returner, running back, defensive lineman, defensive back and receiver. Weve done our part. The final decisions are up to you. So vote and vote often. Youre the GM of this team. Make your choices. Here are this weeks choices: QUARTERBACK KEN PLOEN*, 1957-67 Every conversation on the greatest Blue Bomber — not just QB — includes this icon, legend, hall of famer. Other pivots threw harder, but all Ploen did was win games in the summer (82, most as a Bomber QB) and championships in the fall (four Grey Cups). Such a gifted athlete, he was also an all-star defensive back in 1959. --- JACK JACOBS*, 1950-54 They dubbed old Winnipeg Stadium ‘The House That Jack Built and with good reason: he was a pure passer who revolutionized the CFL game and, as a result, packed stadiums wherever he played. --- DIETER BROCK*, 1974-83 Nobody could chuck it like Ralph/Dieter. Won back-to-back Most Outstanding Player Awards in 1980 and 1981, led the CFL in passing four times and remains the clubs leader in passing yardage and TDs and is second to Ploen in wins. --- TOM CLEMENTS*, 1983-87 Acquired from Hamilton for Brock, Clements would then lead the Bombers to a Grey-Cup victory over the Ticats in 1984, ending a 22-year drought. Cerebral, mobile and quietly efficient, he was the CFLs top player in 1987, his last as a Bomber. --- KHARI JONES, 2000-2004 Like Jacobs and Don Jonas before him, Jones helped breathe life into the Bombers when times were bad. His 46 TDs in 2002 is a club record (third all-time in the CFL) and second to Brock in passing yardage. Was the CFLs MOP in 2001. *-Indicates member of Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

Air Max Belgique Pas Cher . Strasburg (1-1) got 14 consecutive outs in one stretch and allowed only three hits, including Marcell Ozunas homer in the seventh. The right-handers lone walk was to the last batter he faced. Washingtons starter Wednesday, Jordan Zimmermann, left after a career-low 1 2-3 innings, leaving the bullpen "taxed," as manager Matt Williams put it. http://www.airmaxbelgique.be/. -- The Kelowna Rockets earned their 16th straight win with a 7-2 rout of the Portland Winterhawks in Western Hockey League action Thursday. Magasin Air Max Belgique .J. - The New York Jets have signed former Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Graham Harrell, giving them some added depth at the position. Grossiste Air Max Belgique . - Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin has cleared league-mandated concussion protocol and has returned to practice as a full participant.ORLANDO, Fla. - Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson is among several players the New York Jets have interest in, Jets owner Woody Johnson says. Speaking at the NFL meetings Sunday, Johnson says "were looking at a number of players, including DeSean." The receiver could be made available by Philadelphia because he has a $10.25 million contract for the 2014 season, a stiff price the Eagles might not be willing to pay.dddddddddddd. Jackson is signed through 2016. New York desperately needs an impact deep receiver after releasing the disappointing Santonio Holmes. The Jets signed Eric Decker away from Denver, but Jackson is more of a field-stretching target and can return punts. Jackson, 27, led the Eagles last season with 82 receptions for 1,332 yards and had nine touchdowns.
