WINNIPEG (CP) - Brian Diesbourg is now the property of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The mechanical engineer from Belle River, Ont., made famous when he drilled a 50-yard field goal Thursday night to win $1 million, has been signed to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' negotiation list, the Winnipeg Sun reported.
''The guy made a 50-yard kick under very, very serious circumstances,'' said GM Brendan Taman, who wouldn't confirm the transaction.
The 25-year-old Diesbourg booted the memorable field goal during Wendy's Kick for a Million promotion at halftime of Thursday's Toronto-Hamilton game at Rogers Centre.
Diesbourg, who barely missed field goals from 20, 30 and 40 yards prior to the 50-yard bomb, told the media Thursday that he wouldn't rule out giving the CFL a shot.
Taman is known for putting long shots and odd balls on his neg list, including wrestler Brock Lesnar, sprinter Donovan Bailey and NFLers Kordell Stewart and Deion Sanders.
''You never know where you can find talent,'' Taman said.
