all these "as a kid" or "when I was a kid" comments... I guess I'll have to say it then... GET OFF MY LAWN!

Reinbold is just the guy to replace Chris Jones.

HI Mark H. ..... article about some research (have not read the research paper) https://www.cifar.ca/assets/arrival-of-the-fittest-canadas-crime-rate-is-dropping-as-immigration-increases-is-there-a-connection/

There are some good Riderfans, however there are also too many bandwagon jumpers who turned green in 2007. 2.5 years of bad football? Cry me a river. I've had to live through Reinbold, Daley, Kelly and Mack.

Part of me wants to just adopt the same approach they do over there. They always throw out the "if we acted like this on your forum, we would've been gone long ago" nonsense. Then I look at how we still allow folks like Kluch to continue posting and think ... boy, are they really that unaware? As much as I like Gov and I can't even blame him for "allowing it", what was formerly a pretty good place to talk about football has fallen by the wayside and become overrun by idiots like Rotor and his little puppet RAJ. So many characters on that forum, it's essentially become a cesspool of inbred children's toys with only four programmable phrases that can be spit out at a time: "#1990!", "Mulberry bush", "Keep 'em comin, Jonesy!" and "hey, hands off my sister, she's mine!"

I see the good folks at Riderfans are firing their artillery at a couple of members here. I wonder if they are wearing pink shirts while they attack?

I've lurked on Riderfans in the past, but really, who gives a flying frack? That's their business, whether they stand or fall as a fan forum. My experience says that if the nuts take over the forum, the sane people leave, and eventually the forum implodes and shuts down. That said, let us show a decent level of respect to visiting CFL fans, so long as they reciprocate. That doesn't mean we will stop insulting them in good measure. Full disclosure: I lived in Regina for 5 years, and met a lot of good people who were only distantly related to each other, and only a few had vestigial tails and more than 5 digits on each hand or foot.

Riderfans suffers from the loudest people there being the dumbest and most ignorant.

Once you realize the future is scheif Laine ehlers Connor and the young guys it will make moving on from Perreault who isn't a part of any core group a lot easier

It was Walters' first trade. It's like keeping the first tooth you lose as a kid. Purely nostalgia-related.

I think there's a ton of stuff that goes on at practice, in the locker room...even stuff that shows up on game film that we don't see, which contributes to the guy coaches want to keep around. I agree that Bass is younger and likely healthier, and all things being equal, he seems like the logical choice. Having said that, there's clearly a lot more to it...a lot more going on....that made the coaches/management decide to keep Wild.

Ya, without question it was this moment, solely, that cost Bass his job. MOS saw this and said "ZOMG JORB FOR LIFE!!11!"

That site would be perfect now, for Nate/Lyle/Bronco. He could fire up the ole robo-posting mode, and have inane, rambling, and convoluted discussions....with himself.

Have never even typed that address into my browser since the day I left....

I look forward to RF.COM melting down on July 1st, 2017 after the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the first game at the Toilet Bowl.

Can remember debating with myself..... whether to stop lurking and mix it up with them rough tough fellas, or not.

Let's keep everybody.

Meh I'm done posting over there. between the mods acting like assclowns banning any criticism by non-rider fans and the jonestown circle jerkers sippin on pink drinks and high fiving each other for mediocrity and league wide ridicule, not worth the time and effort anymore. Tho I will pop in every now and then to watch them self implode with every loss and circus move Jones makes. Green tears taste like unicorn farts

Hardrick established himself as a fan favourite also, when he made those valiant attempts to leap into the end zone stands....

I don't know why people think just because someone is "x" height and "y" weight, they're suddenly capable of playing a different position that requires an entirely different skill set and responsibility level. It confuses me, because it seems like people only do this with defensive players as if that makes it make more sense. Let's try it with some other examples. "If Chris Normand could put on 10 pounds, he's pretty fast, he could probably play DE!" "Ian Wild is the same size as Andrew Harris, just a little taller, maybe he could play RB as a backup" "Addison Richards has all the measurables, maybe he'd make a good receiver!"

Might be off topic, but I ventured over there out of nostalgia tonight. Apparently there is one dude in there named Bennie Thompson that uses the forum as some sort of bizarre echo chamber. I think roadgriller is in on the joke, but one can never be sure. For someone like me that followed Colin (Mookie) from TotalCFL, it is a bit sad to see Ourbombers on its deathbed. Sorry...the recent influx of 90's bands touring the city has got me on a nostalgia kick. On topic...hmmm...Chris Jones is a dingus!

Colin is probably checking the site stats and going nuts - "we're at 5 Daily Average Users right now!!!"

Going from Best to Worst.....

^^ Exactly...I remember MOS raving about Wild leading the team stretching. How fanatical he was about yoga and stuff, and getting other guys into it. He's a pro's pro, alright...

Grizzly looking fella in raccoon coat, wearing a straw boater and stinking of bathtub gin...... Oh, snap.....that was me!

Digging through an old album, found a pic from just before Our Bombers was launched. @17to85 which one are you, again?

lol you know it. I'm not trying to say it was that moment exactly, but I think moments like that stand out for a coach, IE: playing whistle to whistle even with the game done and season over. I do believe Osh views Wild as the better WIL and tried Bass out in the middle last year just to make use out of the asset, but it wasn't good enough

His name is "Wild" what more do you need?

IMO I'm just sick of trading players who are good NOW for draft picks who will maybe be good in five years. What are we doing? Let's win some f'n games.

I think the Mexicans are just the tip of the iceberg, pretty obvious he has other target groups in mind.

This feels like an overstatement. I googled it b/c I was curious about his fo% in Anaheim. It was 52.65%, which is pretty good. Slater is 56.1% for his career.

It's a total ghost town. September 2016 is the last time a topic had double-digit replies. It's a shame, ob used to be my home-page.

I don't think that's too crazy.... just not here...

But where on earth, would we find those?

The other irony is they mention how their site is the largest and best CFL forum eva and that fans from around the league want to post on Riderfans. However, they don't want these outsiders posting there.

I don't agree with how those guys run that site. Some of those people over there need to walk away from the keyboard.

Dirty "Crazy" 30.

All it would take is an agent-provocateur or two...

It's a symbolic gesture of support - why are you guys bothered by it?

Ray has missed 24 of 36 games over the past two seasons.

Do they have a time machine so that will let them play 2012 Ray?

This is so ****** up

I saw the post and was confused because I thought it was the Liberals making the motion. So I looked into it and read all the backstory of what had led to the moment described in your post. I concluded that it was all ridiculous (on both sides) and an absolute waste of time so I didn't bother to reply. Creating a new "-phobia" is just the latest trend by people in power to shut down discussion.

And scores a goal. Great for Zajac!

First things first, love the analysis Derek Taylor is doing. Not sure how he gets his numbers, if he has a single source, if he's going over the tape from every game played last year or teams are providing him with this, but no matter. It's great. Second, using those numbers at face value (which oddly enough weren't always whole numbers when the math was done, maybe some borderline passes were counted as half interceptable?) and calculating through, this would be the 2016 percentage of interceptable balls per total passes thrown: Cato - 7.7% Masoli - 5.4% Burris - 4.9% Ray - 4.5% Jennings - 4.3% Willy - 4.2% Glenn - 4.1% Nichols - 3.6% Durant - 3.4% Collaros - 3.2% Mitchell - 2.5% Reilly - 2.2% Harris - 2.1% Apologies for the lack of fancy colours and formatting. So Cato is both the luckiest and the worst.

If the Riders had traded for Tate, Ripper would be singing a different tune. If we had traded for Tate, I'd be just another cheerleader.

And those grapes were sour, anyways. That they were too high to reach is irrelevant.
