It's 2017 and the Riders just put _________ on their neg list ...

[lyin' guy]

Well, if my team had a total of 8 wins over 2 years in a 9 team league I guess I might be a bit defensive as well.  

Things look pretty testy over there. As I said before, they do a very good job of slicing and dicing their own kind.  They probably don't need outsiders doing it.  Any comments from outsiders are going to be taken defensively even if they are positive. They want their own site for their own people so they can belittle and crap on each other.  Best to just sit back, stay out have a beer and observe them doing just that.  They haven't disappointed so far.

This post by the chief fort defenders summarizes it well.  Second comment is by R.S.

I agree if we are able to upgrade our Cancon and pick up maybe an import DT or CB - thankfully this offseason we will be looking for one or two pieces instead of starting a brand new puzzle

Good post. Quite accurate. Last year was a clearinghouse. This year it's about pieces.

That's so hilariously wrong. Everything those two clowns have said since Jonsie has been hired has been proven to be inaccurate, yet they still continue on their crusade.

lol we're not THAT far removed from the great OB wars between the IMWT'eers vs the Negatrons, but it is oh so nice that the circus left town and headed west

[do or die]

Not everyone over there is that impressed with Jones.    But they have to slog their way through the incoming.....

Any comments? I don't believe that to be true. Certain comments is a better way to put I would say. As far as people wanting their own site, that goes everywhere. Many posters there and here have zero problem with out of town fans posting, in fact I think it adds a lot of perspective to the conversation.  I enjoy talking football and try not to stir the pot when on another teams site, and for the most part have gotten along well here. There are definitely some die hard people that challenge comments from "visitors" but those people challenge locals in the same way, its just their posting style. I'm not here to defend anyone, just commenting on what I see.

Man, this Vince Young thread is really stating to produce some cracks in the fault line.    Spock would call it fascinating.....

Fortunately, it is being handled internally...

IMHO you're one of the good ones Ripper.  I'm thinking that either:

you weren't originally from Saskatchewan or somehow, your family tree doesn't loop back?

Fair comments.  Speaking in general. There are a handful that can pound sand. The rest I would buy a beer and talk football all day long.  They care. They're passionate. We need more of that for the CFL.

I love the Riders and will always will be a diehard fan, doesn't mean I am best buddies with every rider fan. I won't defend some comments made by fellow fans, just because we cheer for the same team. At the same time, I will defend my team when I need to, or a fellow rider fan or fan of any team for that matter, who I think has done nothing wrong. Cheering for a different team doesn't automatically make a person a idiot or a uneducated fan. There are some posters who I agree could pound sand, but I try not to take it to heart. Everyone has a right to have a opinion, as long as they are not being rude or offending anyone I think they can post that opinion. Isn't that what these forums are for? Discussion?

I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night...  LOL   Sorry but I'm a Sasky boy, born in the prairies. Lots of good people here no different than Manitoba, work with lots of Manitoba guys in the patch. Good eggs..

It's May and the Riders look to be choosing between Kevin Glenn and Vince Young for the role of their starting quarterback this upcoming season.

 

Happy May Long, Bomber Fans!

I was thinking this could be a new use for their world famous manure.
