I know this not only because the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are staging a Grey Cup championship parade on Tuesday, but because of what happened in the bedlam that took place at McMahon Stadium on Sunday night. With blue, white and gold confetti everywhere, players, fans and family members high-fiving and shouting in celebration, Bombers president/CEO Wade Miller gave me a hug. Despite two initial seasons that produced a 12-24 record and a third that got off to a 1-4 start, Miller stood pat. And stood pat again despite one playoff victory over the next three years, and plenty of grumbling from the paying customers. “So proud of what our coach has accomplished and our general manager and the entire organization.”Tuesday’s parade is a long time coming for Paul LaPolice, too.
