Winnipeg Blue Bombers News Release


WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are pleased to announce today they have acquired veteran football writer Ed Tait, who comes aboard as the club's new Director of Content for bluebombers.com.

Tait joins the Bombers after 29 years in the newspaper industry working for the Winnipeg Free Press, Winnipeg Sun and Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, while periodically providing analysis for both CJOB and TSN.

In his new role with the football club, Tait will report and write on the Bombers on a daily basis including attending all road games and oversee the content on bluebombers.com year-round.

"This is an absolutely fabulous opportunity," Tait said. "I've been around the Blue Bombers dating back to the last championship and hope to augment the coverage of the team already available on the website. We will also be creating some new ideas that will make bluebombers.com the go-to site for all things related to the club."

Tait is a member of the Football Reporters of Canada Media Wing at the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, and on the Media Roll of Honour with the Manitoba Sportswriters & Sportscasters Association. He has served as President of the Football Reporters of Canada (2004) and was named Canadian Football League Reporter of the Year in 2010 by his media colleagues.

"Ed has been around the Blue Bombers for parts of three decades now and has been a respected writer, not just for his coverage of this team, but the entire CFL," said Bombers President & CEO, Wade Miller. "We've been busy in the offseason making changes to our football roster and now this addition will give fans what they wanted - even more reason to visit bluebombers.com for all news related to the organization."

"Ed's creativity and writing skills will be a major asset to the Winnipeg Football Club and we're so excited to have him on board to oversee our website content."

Tait's work on bluebombers.com will start appearing today.
