Chris Walby walked the CFL field like a giant but says he never walked alone. James Wisniewski Jersey . Walby was chosen as the offensive lineman by voters taking part in the Winnipeg Free Press/TSN 1290 All-Time Bombers Team selection process. a€?This is humbling. Yes, therea€?s a sense of pride in being named to this,a€? said Walby. a€?But Ia€?ll tell you, the offensive line is all about being part of a unit and I was part of some great ones. To be names among these players, Frank Rigney, Buddy Tinsley, Cornell Piper and my former teammate John Bonk, just to be on the list is an honour. And to be chosen as one of the best, well, it really is humbling.a€? Voting began Monday and fans were given the choice of five quarterbacks as chosen by the All-Time Blue Bombers Team panel, comprising legendary coach Bud Grant, former player and GM Paul Robson, Hall of Fame football writer Ed Tait, Andrew (Hustler) Paterson from TSN 1290 and myself. A nine-time All-Canadian, Walby is arguably the greatest offensive lineman in CFL history. Playing at 6-7 and 340 pounds, Walby was twice named the leaguea€?s top O-lineman, in 1987 and 1993. Walby had a mixture of power and finesse rarely seen in the CFL and he led a group that won three Grey Cups and was consistently near the top of the CFL in rushing. a€?Thata€?s one of the things Ia€?m most proud of. We were always able to run the ball. When it cold on and we needed to rely on the run, we could do it,a€? recalled Walby. Walby centred out Val Belcher as a role model on the field. a€?Val was such a technician. I used to watch him in practice and try to emulate him. He almost never got beat,a€? said Walby. Winning any award is nice Walby but nothing compares to the Grey Cup victories he shared in. a€?Thata€?s why we played. To win. It was the greatest accomplishment to come together and be there on the last Sunday of the season and to get the job finished,a€? said Walby. Next up is linebacker. The Free Press print and digital editions as well as www.tsn1290.ca will run stories on Monday outlining the careers of the finalists selected by our panel. Voting will take place on both websites. 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.

Sources tell TSN that union executives travelled to select CFL cities Monday to open dialogue with players and answer questions. After the tentative deal was reached Saturday night, several players posted messages of frustration and disappointment on social media - and that carried over into Sunday on both the web and the field.HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Chase Elliott could let Matt Kenseth take a spin with the checkered flag. Even without the win, Elliott had a championship celebration waiting for him in Victory Lane.Elliott finally got to enjoy his Nationwide Series title after he finished 17th in the season finale Saturday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway.He became the youngest champion in NASCAR history last week when he wrapped up the title at Phoenix International Raceway. All that was missing was the trophy presentation he got at Homestead.This week, more than anything, has allowed me to sit back and think, not only of all the people who have helped me this year, but theres a lot of great names who have helped me my entire career, Elliott said.The 18-year-old rookie is the youngest driver to win a title in any of NASCARs three national series. He broke the mark set by Brian Vickers, who was 20 when he won the Nationwide title in 2003.Kenseth got the jump on the final restart in overtime to earn his first win of the season in any NASCAR series.Its been a long time since Ive won a race in anything, Kenseth said. Kyle (Larson) got around me on the second to last restart, and when he chose the bottom and I had Kyle behind me, I knew we had a shot. I just had to get a better restart.It was the final race for NASCARs second-tier series under the Nationwide banner. It will be renamed the Xfinity Series next season.Kyle Busch was second, and Larson finished third.Almost had second, but Kyle was able to squeeze around me, Larson said. I probably could have shut the door on him, but we werent going to win, so there was no point in maybe tearing up two cars.With six wins from five drivers, Roger Penske clinched the Nationwide owners title to made it 2 for 2 in championships this season. Team Penske won the IndyCar championship with Will Power in September, and a victory by Joey Logano in Sundays Sprint Cup season finale would make Penske the only team owner to complete the sweep of major American racing titles.Ive got two boxes checked off now, Penske said. I get one more tomorrow.Chevy won the manufacturers championship, the first for its Camaro brand that debuted in 2013.Elliott, thee first Nationwide champion to also win the rookie of the year award, made his biggest mistake of the season when he smacked the wall late in the race making a hard push for a top-10 finish. Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys. He couldnt take the checkered flag — but he came away with a pretty nice consolation prize.He grabbed the championship flag and kicked up a cloud of yellow smoke off a burnout on the painted grass.The first-time champ needs to work on his celebrations — he smacked the wall during the burnout, bringing a smile from team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr.I know it was ugly. We didnt have a very good run, but well take it, Elliott said.The Victory Lane bash capped a whirlwind year for Elliot, who didnt even have a ride last November. He turns 19 on Nov. 28.He had three wins this season and 16 top-five finishes in 33 races. The son of Hall of Fame inductee and 1988 NASCAR champion Bill Elliott beat JR Motorsports teammate Regan Smith for the title.It was the first Nationwide title for the team owned by Earnhardt, his sister Kelley, and Rick Hendrick.The Elliotts are the fifth father/son duo to win NASCAR national series championships. The others are Lee Petty and Richard Petty, Ned Jarrett and Dale Jarrett, David Pearson and Larry Pearson, and Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr.Elliott proved hes a champion driver, leaving open the question if he will move up to the elite Sprint Cup series. Larson spent just one season in Nationwide last year before he was promoted to Cup, and Elliott could be on that same fast track.Hendrick has indicated theyll keep him in the second-tier series for now. Hendrick Motorsports does not have an open seat next year, and many believe Elliott could be Jeff Gordons successor whenever he chooses to retire.Xfinity now becomes just the third title sponsor in series history. Anheuser-Busch spent 26 years as title sponsor and Nationwide has been sponsor the last 11 but is moving into team sponsorship next season.We have truly enjoyed our time as the series sponsor and are grateful for the relationships weve made with the drivers, teams, owners, and fans, said Jim McCoy, director of sports marketing for Nationwide Insurance.
