  1. That was funny. Probably would have been lame if Cena was a part of it.
  2. I'll make a prediction. The Esks will sign Franklin to a new contract & trade Reilly to the Argos. He'll take over from Ray. The Riders will never see the guy. That or he goes to the NFL.
  3. The Rider fan who is a Durant fan sure thinks it's a bad move. He's sure not happy.
  4. Hard to believe a guy who was so good as a DC could be such a train wreck as a head coach.
  5. I think Burke's head coaching tenure here burnt him out as a coach. He went to Toronto as their DC after being fired here & then resigned a year later. I don't know if he's even in the game coaching anywhere anymore.
  6. Kelly might have been a decent coach but he was a control freak who did not trust anyone which led to his failure. The man became paranoid over the littlest of things. He never listened to anyone & felt that he could do whatever he wanted. Treated people like crap. Including the media, fans on the call in portion of The Coaches Show as well as that infamous interview on the radio after a game in Montreal where he got upset with the questions Bob Irving & Mitch Zalnasky were asking. He deserved everything that happened to him.
  7. Because he had more talent. I think Burke even though he may have had the worst team of all time still is a worse coach. Useless as **** on a bull.
  8. It's hard to believe it when I say this but Reinbold had a better team. He may have had TJ Rubley but he was better than Jason Boltus & Justin Goltz.
  9. They have a massive north end zone with 2 decks. We don't have that. I look at Mosaic & I don't see a lot of IGF in it. Both are pretty much unique.
  10. In my Top 3 all time worst... See above.
  11. Wish you had an option for Other... I go back more than most of you do. The worst coaches I remember are: 1) Joe Zaleski as he was incapable of working with a young team & getting them ready to play. He was a former qb in the 50's with the Bombers & became an offensive assistant under Bud Grant.He had nothing but All Stars to work with during those Grey Cup years. When all these players retired & he took over it was a case of being in over his head. 2) Jeff Reinbold. A coach who wowed the Bombers during the interview process but didn't have the experience needed to rebuild the team in the mid 90's. He really struggled in the years he was here. 3) Tim Burke. We all thought he was a defensive guru being the best DC in the CFL & the next one in line just waiting for a head coaching position. When he took over we quickly saw that he wasn't at all ready to handle the circus that was the Bombers in 2012 & 13. Joe Mack put his reputation on the line hiring Burke after firing LaPo & it became a disaster. He had no answers to any of the questions, admitted he didn't know how to fix things & looked like he was going to cry most days especially after loss after another crushing loss. I'd rate Burke the all time worst.
  12. You're missing the entire point.
  13. Have to worry about the ball popping out when a back struggles for more yards. That happens a lot.
  14. Well, the alternate Chris Jones said in his interview that if they could have seen Dressler on the field they'd have killed him/
  15. O'Shea was a gambler. Lucky he had Medlock so he knew when to fold 'em when it came to running the ball then.
  16. Dressler was the heart of that Rider team. He knew what it took to win unlike some of the athletically freaky looking guys you have now. Carter, pfft... talk about a headcase. It's all about him.
  17. Look at that schedule of the teams they play... Hamiton, BC back to back, the Argos, Calgary, Edmonton & Winnipeg. He could be gone after Labour Day. When... not if... he goes... he's certainly left behind a #scorchedearth with the Riders.
  18. His last run he really put his head down & knees high. Glad they didn't try to get closer & just kicked for the win.
  19. Think Chris Jones' time is rapidly coming to an end? LOL! Now the Rider fanbase mocks him. Spoke to a Rider fan at Mosaic who said he'll never forgive him for the way he treated Durant & Dressler. Said he's wearing his Als Durant jersey to the game when the Als are in town. He said all we have now is, "Freaking Glenn". No way he can overcome that if he keeps losing.
  20. Man, some Bomber fans here.... They could win $25 million on Lotto Max. Then turn around & ***** they never won when it was $50 million & feel ripped off. Just enjoy the freaking win...
  21. Funny stuff... http://3downnation.com/2017/07/03/chris-jones-impersonator-absolutely-nails/#comments
  22. Who wants to pay anywhere from $85 to over a hundred dollars a ticket on Game Day to watch a CFL game when they can see it for free at home? If you want to sit on the 20 yard line at McMahon that's what you pay. You can buy cheap seats thru Safeway but they're in Section A in the end zone.
  23. I think price of tickets is a problem the CFL refuses to address. Hopefully Randy Ambrosie does that when he officially takes over. It's not so much the price of season tickets but single game day tickets. The CFL has virtually eliminated the walkup. Especially with every game televised. TV is giving the CFL more revenue generally but hurting it at the same time as attendance is falling. There needs to be a price point where casual fans think there's value to attending games & I think they will.
