  1. That's what the storey is if there is one. Riders likely have more players than usual.
  2. It was exactly the Hardy storey I was referring too.
  3. I agree if anyone is getting paid it will get bad. I also acknowledge Dunk is a idiot and not reliable to report on anything. There are a lot of people that love thinking the worst about the riders and I get that.
  4. Let me get this straight Mike. Suspend jones for having 20 players in town? Good luck with that.
  5. Cheating yes I care about. Pushing the rules to the absolute limit and not breaking them, I am fine with. I would hope any coaching staff of any team I cheered for to be constantly trying to be better and gain every advantage they could to win more games. If there are no limit rules on the players trying out then no rules have been broken, hence the word cheating doesn't apply. The ratio thing is totally separate issue, we broke ratio and were fined, pretty cut and dry. Many of you are blinded by your hatred to even be objective at all about any of this.
  6. As I have said, I do not know the number. Its probably 10-12 players as a guess. When people are reporting numbers like 96, sorry friend but that is just a witch hunt and shyte disturbing. As far as Mitchell goes, he likes the attention, he was fighting with his own fans not long ago for them leaving the game early or something like that. Big coincidence that Mitchell just happened to mention this a few days before they played us also to throw a media circus into our practice week before the game. He is a great guy and is really looking out for the leagues well being
  7. Ok so the riders having 10 players here is front page news? When your team is horrible and 1-5 I'd expect them to be looking as many players as possible to try to right the ship. Like Jones said last night in the interview. I get paid to win games and we aren't winning, I'm never going to stop trying to find talent.
  8. I have no first hand knowledge of anything but I kind of thought one of you practice roster qb's likely would throw for him. Its a good question. I would think that no one on the actual roster could practice with him.
  9. I defend the things rider that I feel need defending, isn't that what any lifelong fan of any team does? I'm by far one of the most critical fans of our team and expect accountability from our coaching staff. This issue isn't any different.
  10. Embarrassed? This isn't embarrassing. I'm more embarrassed about how bad we are this year. I was really wanting to believe we were going to be greatly improved this year. Our start to the season has been painful to watch, to say the least. Only one thing bothers me about having extra players around, it means we did a shyte job in the winter of bringing in the correct people that we have to Fake around now trying to fix it. That I am definitely not happy about. But Bomo getting his panties worked up because we have more here than the other teams do means nothing to me. Its pretty simple in my mind, if rules have been broken then fine the team and investigate to the letter of the law. If there turns out to be something to this then Jones/Murphy can face the music which may end up being their jobs. BUT BUT BUT, investigate every team in the league to the exact same degree and handle things the same way. The other side of the coin here is that unless something can be proven, Mitchell should be fined by the league for slanderous comments
  11. You are right, Ottawa, Hamilton, or Toronto must be due for some welfare of some kind this year
  12. I do not know if what you are saying is true or not. The question is, have any rules been broken?? If the riders have more players than say the bombers do, is that a broken rule? Not liking something and it being against the rules are two separate things
  13. Is there any proof of this. What do I have to investigate. Are the Riders not innocent until proven guilty?? Or is Twitter a reliable source?
  14. For sure. Imagine if a team hadn't won a cup in 25 years, what would they do to try to improve??
  15. Investigate away. Lets also investigate the Bombers and other teams too, or does that not suit your agenda?
  16. Every team brings in players to have a look at them. How many for how long? I don't know. Unless Mitchell has proof of anything he should be fined by the league for his comments.
  17. If you are reading this Henry, I can understand why you would be upset. Must suck to know no matter how well you play that they will go back to their other QB as soon as they can. The good news is Harris might get you a ring this year
  18. Agreed, same with Regina. Fans follow things too closely. He couldn't handle the pressure.
  19. As a receiver he has been pretty reliable. He has put some balls on the ground on KR and PR however
  20. Anyone that reads more than one of my posts before commenting knows I don't defend all things that regard the Riders. I'm actually not happy with how things are right now and am less than impressed with our new coaching staff. Smoothing things over isn't my strong suit, my friends don't call me Ripper for no reason.
  21. What's with the "Classic Rider Fans` comment. I read on here all the time and its been 911 all year until you won a couple games. When team x is losing, some fans panic. Its not exclusive to Saskatchewan, but hey proceed with your cheap shots if it makes you feel better.
  22. Welcome to every fan base on the planet. When the team is losing, some fans panic. Demski isn't going anywhere. I like the kid, he is coming along nicely.
  23. I question McDuffie's hands a small bit too. Has bobbled the ball a few times. Fogg looks like a awesome find for you guys, really like what I'm seeing from him, A+. That's what I always loved about Tristan Jackson, nothing fancy, catch the ball and head up field fearlessly.
