IC Khari Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 While I readily admit my dislike for everything Riders that is a real shame, hard to believe no backup was done?
Judd Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) It's nice being able to glance over and read other team's fans opinions of their team as well as how they value other players throughout the league. It's hard to try enjoy discussion with Rider fans because they live in an echo chamber with morons like Pederson pomppomping and don't have any other professional sports teams to cheer for so a lot of them have disillusions about their own team, but it is still very valuable resource. Hopefully they get it figured out soon. It would be nice if every team had an online presence, honestly. Edited April 16, 2017 by Judd

They also have an English version but when I checked it in the past, it wasn't very active. Not that the French one is very active either. Edited April 16, 2017 by SpeedFlex27
Taynted_Fayth Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 I have a feeling once the initial shock of RF runs it course most posters will eventually venture over and post in the roughrider section on cfl.ca its actually not that bad of a site despite a lot lower traffic, but unfortunately for the bomber section, Nate is ever present and watering it down with his dumb nicknames and hate for everything front office about our team Atomic and Fred C Dobbs 2

Noeller Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 The guy's been back in Wpg for awhile now, and has only been working some MJHL hockey games (to my knowledge, he has no football experience), without getting a sniff of anything else. He either doesn't want the full time work, or he's not wanted. Either way...at his age....it's not happening. He's getting close to retirement age himself. JCon 1
Atomic Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 If CJOB loses the rights, I could see TSN just simul-casting the TV broadcast such as they are doing in Toronto this season.

Taynted_Fayth Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 Bob will leave very big shoes to fill as a bombers pbp guy but i hope the goldeyes pbp (or former) that i believe does hockey games now on the radio never touches the bombers. cant stand listening to him... name escapes me tho
Noeller Posted April 17, 2017 Report Posted April 17, 2017 Calling football is a unique talent...can't just be a hockey PBP guy and transfer. The TSN guys like Cuthbert and Miller are extremely unique talents, pulling double duty. Takes a lot of passion for the sport you're covering. I'm certain there's up and comers in the City who will hopefully get a shot one day.
