Refresh my memory ...Dickinson was the guy Chamblin fired over his commitment level and Priders slapped their flippers together like trained seals ??

Funny, after all the wailing by Priders about The Evil Empire in the 70s and 80s preventing SSK from achieving it's natural status as Canada's team... They'd be the most sensitive about teams raiding other teams .. But buying a GC in 2013, giving all that money to a mercenary like Jones, all the roster shenanigans by Taman and Jones ... The attitude is now as then is FU. As Evil as the Empire ever was. And not a hint of irony among 'em.

"A dream delayed is a dream denied"

Trying to figure out what the take away is here?... A fan base playing the victim, then doubling down on second hand tweet to inflate that victimhood then fantasize about how this imagined injustice could be compensated has got to be the most bizarre way to pump the tires of your team. Not a great look, Priders.

Crap football in almost the entire East div doesn't help. CAL and EAST underdog in GC just isn't compelling for the casuals anymore.

Swallowing all that pride and anger. Giving up his dream job to coach Canada's Team to honour a dreary contract. You know, the word "hero" gets thrown around a lot but....

Invested a ton in this LAPO Armageddon narrative. There's no climbing down now.

Whatever you don't mention the Franklin FA debacle.

In a Madani twitter era Farhan is refreshing.

Gatekeeper (s) going all-in on the "Lapo is Outraged - Armageddon Certain-Riders Hardest Hit" .

Ask yourself who really wants this to be a thing ? 1. Media. Because it's needed content. 2.Prider types. Need to be the victim here to distract from the rapidly spreading diaper fire at Mosaic. Story will disappear by Wed.

If anything PL would be arguing the point on principle not because he's heartbroken over being denied his dream job. "We have to do something about these draconian rules for coaches" "We have to do something about teams raiding other teams coaching talent" Same people.

Ah, "Doubles" Essentially the same guy, same attitude, same everything ....yet in the good ol days any criticism of " better than Lancaster" from inside Prider world and outside , media critics too, was shouted down and crushed if repeated. For years. Now it's anything goes. Priders are truly shameless .

Fascinating to watch, if Riders crater, half empty stadium they boasted would be near filled every time and the damage it will do to the "Canada's Team" trope...ditto TSN enablers of this.

Riderfans... Jeremy O'Day was so awesome today..was he always this awesome and we just didn't notice? Discuss..

Call it now. Post of the year.

I'd respect Riderfans more if they just came clean on what exactly their relationship with the team is..but they won't. Appendage of SSKs online presence carefully filtering and spreading team directives? or just a passionate independent fan board ? Can't be both

His resume commands a measure of respect for sure.

Understood. No, was referring to Pederson. I know you're not a Mark Washington fan. Anything I should know about Robin Ross, Randy Melvin? HAM just hired them.

Then why say this ? Acknowleding and beating addiction ? Noble. Using that as part of the arsenal for self promotion? Creepy.

Cone of silence descends on Riderfans. Taking themselves so deathly serious is both ha-ha funny and weird funny. Yet any similar story on any other team is fair game.

DL coach Dennis Mcphee, RB Corey Grant, STs Frank Ganz.

An already bad defense just got worse

HAM adds Tommy Condell as WR coach, no doubt a future OC. Add two more cast-off s to staff from BC. Three holdover s from Austin/Jones staff given pink slips.
