For the W(in) just seems exceptionally clever for this team

...And here's the Rider "fans" we all know and love. This is why I'm desperate for them to go through a bout of Al Ford Years. We'll test out this theory about "Best Fans".......Just curious - do you feel personally threatened by the level of fandom in Saskatachewan? Why does it bother you so much that they have the "best fans" label?Maybe he finds it an obnoxious, and subjective.As well, like most non Rider fans, gets sick of them endlessly telling anyone who will listen? So don't listen, problem solved. Not sure why it's worth getting in a twist over. Rise above, man. One could use the same comment toward your feelings about it. When you literally sell hyperbole, don't be surprised when others shoot it down. Looking at your comments on it, it appears you are just being insecure on the other side. Such is life.

You missed him going offside! I like him on the roster though.

Looked like it to me.

Looked like it to me.

And here are the posts praising the Bombers for the same type of trash talk: I saw that too.What most people didn't see, because I doubt it was on TV, was at the game during player intros, there was a sort of stage area for the players to stand on the field. The rest of the Bombers were doing as they should and watching from their sideline, but Dom Picard was marching around on the field just inside their stage area on the field. Small thing but it looked like he was trying to show the Riders a little disrespect. I loved it! Love it!! Except I dislike like him for being a whiney D bag complaining about comments from fans and opposing players. Has nothing to do with his injury. I primarily liked the introduction confrontation because I like the pay back for game here last year. So don't use quotes out of context.

Who said it was Karma for trash talking?

Yeah, while kinda dumb, I could see how this was applied to the Demski catch. He didn't consciously catch the ball and run into his end zone, which is what a safety is really all about. That being said, had that been a Winnipeg player doing the exact same thing, like Veltung, I could see the Riders getting a safety, as the Bombers always seem to be on the wrong end of the grey area penalty/judgement calls. Watched the game tonight. The Demski play as a safety didn't really register with me at the time, but now I would say it was definitely a safety. He caught the ball and saw that his momentum was going to take him out at the 1, so he tiptoed around the pylon, deliberately changing his direction before going out in the end zone. Should have been called a safety based on the change in direction.As for the Adams interception, his knee touched down at the one yard line. Had he been untouched I'll bet they would have allowed his momentum to consider it an end zone INT and placed the ball at the 25, but the 'Rider player had contact when his knee hit. Correct call there. As for the Bombers "always" getting the wrong side of the close calls, that's pure just homerism talking - I hope you don't really believe that. Refs will miss calls, make calls, and make judgements you may not agree with, but they aren't deliberately biased against your team, whatever team your team is. Saskatchewan could have argued that the "close" non-pass interference challenge that didn't go their way (they'd be wrong, it was good defence) or that the rough play call on the Denmark hit was bogus (they'd have a case there, good shoulder to chest hit there, the lack of wrapping up the tackle with the arms probably cost him the benefit of the doubt). These plays exist in every game and will balance out in the long run. One play I'm curious about was the Willy fumble that Chick ran back for a TD (penalty wiped out the whole play, so not sure how that might have been ruled without the penalty). I know Willy went head first, and the broadcasters said he was touched (not sure about that part), but isn't the play always blown dead once the QB deliberately hits the ground, even if head first? Could have been a big turning point. Well stated.

I like it as well. I think a few other teams use it though.

As they manage to screw up so very often. "#fortheW"... Top knotch!

Also recall being pissed at that. I'm sure the WR being with 20 yards was deemed close enough.

It's a dumb rule, he is playing the ball outside of the end zone.

He may be no worse, but definitely not better.

Stupid rule, Bomber or not.

I'm thinking the latter

Nice! Excited to see what he can bring . IGF should be pretty rocking

it may be over if he were a running back, because of his post on, there may still be hope for him. Possibly. I'm sure Willy appreciates Durant saying he doesn't belong on the same field.

That is stupid

Unless I'm blind, I don't see the word "momentum" in there.

OShea should've challenged.

Absolutely should have been a safety, and that's a big mistake.

Please let this happen. Haha! Beat me to it.

Oh please let that happen.

It was right in front of us and it definitely looked like the right call. Fair enough, then I'm sure you agree Demski gave up a safety.
