Before I tell you about our conversation, I have to say this…he truly loves the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the team’s fans and this community. I began by asking Chris about what’s been a crazy 10 days for him in the NFL. After being released by the Arizona Cardinals, he says he’s attacking his next opportunity with the Baltimore Ravens with everything he has. As for the CFL western final on Sunday at Investors Group Field, Chris says he’s excited for his former teammates and he knows they’ll do what they do best. He also had a message for fans. “I hope that place is sold out and rockin’ because I know the type of energy those fans bring and how much they can change a game especially at IGF so I hope they bring the energy, get extra lit and have a great time.” Go Bombers! And to Bob Irving, enjoy calling your last game on CJOB pal and all the best in retirement.
