If Ripper was a troll, I'd be calling for his removal. He's not a troll. He's a Rider fan. He is okay as far as I'm concerned.

Froelich was one helluva wrestler. He was a former gymnast & he was an original high flyer. He used the ropes as much as he could. Very athletic. The odd thing about him was he wrestled barefoot. They never used him the way they should have. He was small. Maybe 5'10 & 180 lbs soaking wet & he lost almost every match he wrestled. But he was a fan favourite.

That show was on CJAY-TV from about 1968 to 1980 & was taped in Vancouver. I read a bit about that show.. Absolutely no one was allowed to touch Maurier. If any wrestler did ( & it happened on occasion), the promoter Sandor Kovacs could fire them. That caveat was in Maurier's contract.

No kidding. Now Matt isn't allowed to celebrate? Give me a break.

His team got blown out. What are we like here when that happens?

LOL

Don't really care about Chris Jones.

I have no problem with Ripper being here. He's a lot better than most Rider fans who come here to troll. I don't agree with what he says at times but he has every right to be here as long as he is respectful. For the most part he is.

No. Every starter at receiver other than Eric Rodgers is out for the season. What you saw today is what they'll be going with the rest of the season. I didn't think the receivers played that badly. The Stamps OL does not look good especially their RT Randy Richards.

I think we outdrew Calgary & Edmonton today plus all 4 Eastern teams. The league would be ecstatic if 26,000 showed up at BMO Field.

I remember him from NWA wrestling from Vancouver. He was a huge man. For years, it was shown every Sat afternoon at 1 pm on (then) CJAY TV which is now CTV Winnipeg. Ron Maurier was the host, did the call for the matches & all the interviews. As a kid, I was introduced to such greats as Jonathan, Gene Kiniski, Eddie Mauro, John Tolos. Kinji Shibuya, Dean Ho, Butts Giraud (was still an active Blue Bomber at the time) & Eric Froelich. Rest In Peace, Don Leo Jonathan.

They have a very good defense but there's a lot of Me First players on that unit. I just get the impression that the Riders DL isn't about winning but all about personal stats. Sacks & TDs. We saw how they act when things go their way like it did in the first 2 games they beat us. We also saw them be invisible today. Jefferson & Hughes did nothing. So, they got no personal sacks & they lost. It was very satisfying to watch. Especially Jefferson going off the deep end at the end of the game.

Don't know what Jones sees in Bridge as he isn't that good. Watford may have more upside.

You never learn standing on the sidelines.

You lost Willie. SHUT OUT. Ha, ha,

He is a piece of trash.

Was Jefferson trash talking as he walked off the field? He looked like he was yapping at the Bombers. What an ass clown.

We. Shut. Them. Out.

Throw the ball. Embarrass the Riders & Jefferson.

Hate to see any player go down with injury...

Riders OL getting killed.

The only poll that counts is on Election day.

Rookie mistake.

Just glad he put him in early. And this is early for O'Shea. You have to admit that.
