I might have to try to dust mine off and bring mine out of retirement. It\u2019s going to be an amazing day \u2014 gonna watch the Bombers go get a dub, gonna do some stuff on radio, and most of all, interact with some fans. Love you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n The native of Crystal Lake, Ill. announced his retirement in March at the age of 31. He suffered a torn ACL late this past season, marking the second-straight year in which he sustained the same injury.<\/p>\n Streveler burst onto the scene in 2018 as a rookie out of the University of South Dakota. He made 12 starts over two seasons with the Blue Bombers and played a key role in helping the club snap a 29-year Grey Cup drought in 2019. He then became a cult hero when he attended the parade donning a fur coat and cowboy hat (pictured).<\/p>\n The dual-threat passer then spent four years in the NFL as a member of the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets. He completed 27-of-40 pass attempts down south for 231 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, and rushed 16 times for 75 yards.<\/p>\n Streveler returned to Winnipeg in 2024 and spent two seasons as the backup behind Zach Collaros, making six total starts. Over 66 career regular-season CFL games, he threw for 4,144 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions, and rushed 359 times for 1,740 yards and 41 scores.<\/p>\n The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (0-0) will visit the Calgary Stampeders (0-0) at McMahon Stadium on Friday, June 5 with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 p.m. EDT. The Blue Bombers are coming off an East Semi-Final loss to the Montreal Alouettes, while the Stampeders lost last year\u2019s West Semi-Final to the B.C. Lions.<\/p>\n The weather forecast in Calgary calls for a high of 20 degrees and a mix of sun and cloud. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 680 CJOB in Winnipeg and 770 CHQR in Calgary.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
