Ripper

I remember Brock playing, he was a good one. As the 70's wore on he just got better and better. Still would like to know why the Bombers traded him away, if anyone has a storey about that I would love to hear it. As far as the 85 Bears, no one on earth was going to beat that team in the playoffs, war machine... edit.. dig some digging and found a storey about the trade etc.. thanks anyway

There is a small stretch of pavement in front of the legislature.

I like the Rum hut. Apparently new Mosiac has a area in south end zone similar to it.

Not sure if they have any fans. I don't think there are any at riderfans either. Maybe those are paper cut outs in the stands that we see on tv?

You wouldn't want Wall, he is a dumb rider fan.

We are running the table. Can't believe you would have any doubt. Starts this week in your house...

Very true, we haven't provided enough ammo already this year? What more can we do? You guys be sure to invite Jeffrey to the dinner so you can be the good sibling.

Do the Bombers have a dinner for their Ring of honor nominations? What's it called? Have any of you gone to it?

Really? Why is it that you kicked a last second field goal to win then?? Should have been a easy blow out for you guys, no? Does that mean maybe you guys aren't that good either, or your post is nothing but BS?

Does this mean you don't need a ticket for the dinner. NVM its sold out

Media guys from all over scam the fan sites to get stuff to write about. Its been happening for a long time.

We have all wondered that but no one has ever figured out if he was or not. One thing is for sure, he reads it because he has mentioned things on his radio show that were a hot topic that day on riderfans. I don't think he really likes the site because he gets blasted there quite a bit.

There is about 1400 tickets. Vary from 350-500/ ticket, ketchup for your fries is extra. I don't see any need for the Commissioner to be at the dinner. It is not a CFL matter, it is a team function with its fans. No one would be giving him a hard time there, I was only joking about that. As far as the stadium, not so sure what the fans might say, especially some that have been tailgating.

Every Friend of mine and the group we sit with is not even close to being in full support of Jones. I think other teams fans are just exaggerating the support for something to throw in our faces.

3 wins might be a pipe dream for us this year the way we are going. I don't care if we win another game as long as we show up and try. Only 2 games ticked me off this year, Hamilton and Montreal, we layed down and took it, that I can't stand. Die with your boots on...

I got crusty down pat now.

I am finding us losing every week to not be that enjoyable at all TBH. I'm not going to jump off a cliff though. Its just where we are at right now. We'll get better and are getting better. You guys can joke all you want, but you were a play here or there from losing against the worst team in the league. I'm a die hard fan, losing doesn't bother me one bit. We played the stamps tough twice and lost. Esks tough twice and lost. Played Bombers tough and lost. If anyone thinks the Riders are going to lay down this week you are wrong.

Sadly in many cases it becomes garbage time because the team behind gives up.

Only reason the riders lost 4.1 million was because we had to make a 5 million payment to the Mosiac reno's for the 13 grey cup. If our old stadium was up to snuff the team wouldn't have had to kick in 15 million to host the grey cup. But I was at the game and it was worth it. Winning a grey cup at home is a storey I'll be telling my grand children when I'm old and crusty. But you are right technically we showed a loss so enjoy laughing about it. We also have 80% of stadium sold out with season tickets and a waiting list, so I'm not worried about our financial situation.

I know, I like the show. none taken

Thanks, I think.... Insufferable? Now my feeling are hurt..

Not as many are as you think.

Its a expensive dinner to attend, I'm glad he isn't coming. Don't want to see his face there. He won't be welcome at Mosiac either, not that we have to worry about him showing up there anyway.

Prior to today that was kind of what was believed. Now I think its fairly obvious the Riders don't want him there to ruin a great event to recognize some former greats.

The DB is entitled to the ground he is standing on. You absolutely can block someone from coming back to the ball by having inside position on them, its called coverage. You can't however push them or prevent them from doing so with your hands. If you believe that Dressler had a prayer of catching that ball from where he was standing you are wrong IMHO. If you want to argue the hands back and forth magically put Dressler on the wrong side of the DB, well that's a thin argument also. Nichols totally underthrew the ball, that's why it was picked off. I guess the question is whether or not the hands back and forth made the difference as to whether or not the receiver had a shot at the ball, IMO it definitely did not. Was there contact beyond five yards, Yes there was. Was it a pretty thin call, yes it was. Am I crying about, no I am not. Game shouldn't have came down to one play anyway. Bombers won fair and square.
