Noeller Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 1) Huff wasn't going to trade him in-division 2) Tate was due a $40k bonus early march that they didn't want to pay 3) Tate's overall salary became cost prohibitive based on what he was providing...
lyin' guy Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I see the good folks at Riderfans are firing their artillery at a couple of members here. I wonder if they are wearing pink shirts while they attack? rebusrankin, SPuDS, Westman Rob and 3 others 6

They always throw out the "if we acted like this on your forum, we would've been gone long ago" nonsense. Then I look at how we still allow folks like Kluch to continue posting and think ... boy, are they really that unaware? As much as I like Gov and I can't even blame him for "allowing it", what was formerly a pretty good place to talk about football has fallen by the wayside and become overrun by idiots like Rotor and his little puppet RAJ. So many characters on that forum, it's essentially become a cesspool of inbred children's toys with only four programmable phrases that can be spit out at a time: "#1990!", "Mulberry bush", "Keep 'em comin, Jonesy!" and "hey, hands off my sister, she's mine!" SPuDS, JCon, Judd and 7 others 10
Blueandgold Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Riderfans is probably due a split much like the OB/MBB one. SPuDS 1
do or die Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 I for one, believe every single thing I am told. But who's to do the telling?

As I've said before the majority are good folks. I understand their angst due to their lousy record for 2.5 years and the fact their saviour might turn out to be a fraud. They are passionate and we need that in our league. The ones that get it are solid. The ones that don't contstantly have to show you how big their **** and swing it at you because you support a different team are the ones worth sharing a beer with. However there are a handful there that are extremely disappointing. People I thought I had developed a rapport with turned out to be just as described above. Then there are those that just so Rider intense it's ridiculous. You know who they are. You named one.
rebusrankin Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 There are some good Riderfans, however there are also too many bandwagon jumpers who turned green in 2007. 2.5 years of bad football? Cry me a river. I've had to live through Reinbold, Daley, Kelly and Mack. Judd, Tracker, kelownabomberfan and 2 others 5

I'm forgetting the timeline but it seems like everything truly fell apart AFTER he named himself HC. Well, everything started falling apart when Calvillo retired... Nah, he hadn't had a good season as GM in years.

SpeedFlex27 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Ray's the King of the Dink & Dunk. If Trestman brings in his offense he could thrive in the quick pass, short yardage game.

Noeller Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 I am probably the biggest Ricky Ray fan on this board....unabashed fanboi.......but that poor bastard is beat to ****. I don't think his shoulder or knees can be salvaged, even by a proven genius like Trestman. wbbfan and SPuDS 2

I understand that but if he gets rid of the ball quicker it lessens his chance of injury. Ray has a quick release like Calvillo. It'll help Willy as well if Trestman would even want him.

We'll see how he does as D Coordinator, but I do think he's come a long ways since his time here. Edited February 23, 2017 by Dirty30

Even with it, he missed 9 games in 2016, 15 games in 2015, 1 in 2014, 8 in 2013 and 4 in 2012. That's 37 games in 5 years or basically half the season each year.

17to85 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Riderfans suffers from the loudest people there being the dumbest and most ignorant. Al Bundy, bearpants and rebusrankin 3
Arnold_Palmer Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 RF is a pretty insuperable place to be. A lot of bandwagon fans from the mid 2000's. You'd think since they've been a terrible football club in the past 2.5 years they would gain some sort of humility.. But nope Jones is still a genuis, and every other CFL team is overrated.
