Probably....but they won't. Despite writing up a big 10 page code of conduct after the Tillman fiasco back in the day, that team has never owned up to that document even once.

Yep...Riders having a press conference about it right now. Hilarious...only in Regina does a brawl break out an Earl's.

Purifoy was an allstar last night at Earl's in Regina. Spent the night in jail...lmao. Apparently he does not take kindly to waiting for his food.

Purifoy could have been an all star if there hadn't been better players at each of the positions he played this year.

Yep...can't have your cake and eat it too. Either AC and Woodard have over rated stats because of Micah, or like the Jeff's they get double teamed and Micah's stats are sub par playing between these two ends. The truth falls in the middle, just like on our DL....except our guys make plays more often and with far more consistency and that's not opinion...that's fact...one that has been expressed by pretty much every HC in this league....but what do they know? I mean honestly would anyone take AC, Woodard and Micah in exchange for Stove and the Jeff's. You would be instantly fired as your team's GM if you did.

Wow....Noeller's revelations earlier, and now JCon coming out as the son of a Rider fan....I have new found respect for mental health awareness because of this thread. I mean we all have mommy issues to some degree....but a mother who is a Rider fan....that's gotta be tough.

Probably multiple times.

Stove Richardson is a better DT than Micah Johnson at this point and time. It's not even debatable. Micah is a very good DT, not taking anything away from him, but Stove is a beast that draws as many or more double teams than Micah. Difference is he still manhandles them. Stats are for losers. The eye test is what matters and our DL is by far the best in the league at generating pressure, while shutting down the run, and containing opposing QBs. It's not just one thing with our DL....they are not one trick ponies. I guess that every team we've faced, including the Riders, saying we have the most dominant DL in the league falls on deaf ears in the big rectangle.

Everytime an ounce of doubt creeps in I remember just how fantastic a group of leaders we have in our dressing room. They are a championship team that knows exactly what it takes to hoist the cup. If we had say just won our first playoff game in a zillion years then maybe I would fear we could not repeat the intensity needed but I know for sure we will be highly motivated and firing on all cylinders. I think the Riders have a talented team but in the playoffs it comes down to whats in the players heart and in between their ears. Watching morons like Fajardo, Shaq Evans, Nick Marshall, and Ed Gainey lose composure on a regular basis I would say we have a massive advantage in that department. I mean really...Shaq Evans quit on his QB on Sunday...literally...Nick Marshall with a 15 yard roughing penalty has become a weekly occurrence, Fajardo playing inconsistently from series to series, and Ed Gainey getting beat on a deep ball or two....these are weekly occurrences in Riderland this year and they occurred yesterday too. Do that against the Bombers and it will be a blowout. If Mitchell could hit the side of a barn this year the Riders would have gotten pasted yesterday.

The ONLY thing I saw from the game yesterday is that we need to KO them and not let them hang around.

If they do it for a couple home games and the exhibition, if there is one, that would be brilliant. We will get a hint if he is on the 24 hour roster or not. Doesn't mean he'll play, but they would have to activate him off the 6 game IR to do so and I can't see why they would do that unless he's going in.

My thoughts on the WSF.... We can only lose if we don't show up mentally and take the game off. The only team we might do that against is the Stamps. Therefore, I want the Riders to win the WSF as it pretty much guarantees our guys are all up for the game and therefore we are assured victory.

Bob Irving is the soundtrack to my fandom of this team. I will share my oldest and dearest play call of his that I remember. I was a young boy out camping with my parents. The Bombers were playing the Edmonton Eskimos ....we didn't have much success against them...the year...1984. The Evil Empire had a dynasty going....we were trying to turn the tide. It was a regular season game....tied up late in the game....a real slobberknocker for CFL dominance at that point of the season and a precursor to a changing of the tide. " Hank Ilesic is back to punt....ITS BLOCKED....this could be a touchdown....AND IT IS!!!" With that one sentence, that one play, that one play call by Bob it was apparent that the monkey was off our back. The Evil Empire was vulnerable and the tide was changing. Am I being a little too nostalgic, or poetic, with my description of the events of that day....MAYBE...but I can tell you that one play, and the excitement in Bob's voice ratcheted me up from a casual fan to a Blue believer. That's my story and I think we all have one that we remember about Bob. That's what makes him so damn special.

It surprises me a tiny bit that it was Fajardo, but it is the modus operandi of that organization to throw someone under the bus when things go badly and DT gets his talking points from Reynolds and crew. Guess we know who the sacrificial lamb they are going to lead to the slaughter on Monday is.

I think even the thirstiest of women would agree that the naked male form needs to be presented in a certain way. Jumping around after a volleyball would not flatter us at all.

Craig Dickenson deserved some COTY consideration for ringing out 9 wins out of that squad of losers. Bo Lokombo and Jordan Williams had very impressive stats respectively but it should be noted they had many, many more opportunities to make them than almost any other team in the league....and that's why aggregate stats don't really tell the story sometimes.

Bottom line is our starting lineup went 11-1 this season. The last two games were exhibition games really. Not sure why anyone is surprised that we dominated the all star balloting. This was not a team that won a bunch of games in there by the skin of our teeth either....the vast majority of them were garbage time by half time. Typical garbage from a certain Riderfan mod I guess.

I think it is Instagram he is blowing his stack on. Cody Fajardo's crying has rubbed off on him I guess.

TSN Derek Taylor wouldn't be saying anything at all other than a 30s video once a week measuring obscure stats. He's a great numbers guy but he is a football accountant not a football analyst. If I want to know how many times DE's in the league push off with their left leg, he's the guy I call but if I want an assessment on their play.....well his comments on all of this speak for themselves.

Derek Taylor is a stats guy...he wouldn't know how to measure a player's impact on the field if it hit him over the head.

He is employed by the Riders after all....or so it seems over there. Just ask Rod Pederson.

Yea...they got torched all day long by Lulay and Harris. It wasn't the offence that lost that game.

So Taylor would trade Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Alexander for AC Steroid, Woodard, Purifoy? Glad he's not our GM, but seriously hoping he becomes the Riders GM soon. He conveniently forgot that one of the Riders who were selected had an inferior season to Steven Richardson.

Sure woulda been nice if Swaggerville would have showed up for the Grey Cup Jovon.
