Bombers legend.

That 1954 Blue Ribbon Canadian football set is one of the most attractive football sets ever produced IMO.

Didn't he go out for the opening coin toss a few years ago in short sleeves in sub freezing temps?

Yes, in January 2016:



"What?! You call this cold? It's only -6! I've played in games where it's been a lot colder."

Here's a good article on Bud Grant's cold weather Vikings:

Bud had reason to not like airplanes. When he was in Canada, a flight he and some teammates was scheduled to take flew into the side of a mountain. By chance, Bud had been able to reschedule to an earlier flight. One of those teammates overslept, took the original flight, and was killed.

About 6 years ago, I visited Bud a half dozen times to get some Met Stadium seats signed. He was a very nice guy.

And a fellow needed to buy a whole chocolate that I think cost fifteen cents to get a single card!

(Not mine.)

So they're tough to find these days.
