Quick hits from Thursday here in Hamilton at the 108th Grey Cup as the Blue Bombers continued preparations for Sunday’s championship against the Tiger-Cats…
1. INJURY REPORT: The Bombers held a closed-to-the-media practice at McMaster University on Thursday and then had 24 players and coaches available for the Grey Cup Media Day.
Of note, both RB Andrew Harris (knee) and DB Mike Jones (knee) were non-participants. Harris was part of the media day, FYI, and left no indication he would not play on Sunday.

3. A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS: Bluebombers.com has an excellent crew here helping provide content in Riley Marra, Sam Calvert and Rob Ong — with Rheanne Marcoux overseeing the whole operation — and it’s time to give a slap on the back to Rob, our team photographer.
4. STRIPED SHIRTS ANNOUNCED: The CFL announced its officiating crew for the 108th Grey Cup and veteran Andre Proulx — in his 23rd season and with 390 regular-season games on his resumรฉ — will be the referee.

5. STEELTOWN RESPECT FOR ‘KNUCKLES’: The tributes continue to flow for CJOB play-by-play legend Bob ‘Knuckles’ Irving, as he was honoured Wednesday night for his 47 years covering the Blue Bombers.
Tip of the hat for a classy gesture.
Last night we honoured the great @BobIrvingCJOB for his incredible contributions to the CFL.
He might not wear the jersey ๐, but heโll be back as our guest of honour at the 2023 Grey Cup in Hamilton, to enjoy it as a true CFL fan.
Congratulations & enjoy retirement, Bob! pic.twitter.com/8RYeUlWYFn
