Quit trying to justify your stupid anti Nichols comments. No one cares if you're butthurt because you perceive you're being attacked. If you don't like it, then stop slagging Nichols. Otherwise, you're fair game. Even some of the mods think you're a troll.

**** the Riders.

I waited 29 years for a championship. I really thought I may never see one again in my lifetime. Damned if I'm ever going to **** on any player who had a hand in making it happen. Those guys deserve a lot better... Nichols deserves a lot better than that from craphole fans like Skunk.

Still a few days to go.

All I know that we're Grey cup champs & you keep trashing the guy. I'm grateful for every player on the team & the effort they gave. Obviously, you're not. I've seen Rider fans here that behave better than you.

Maybe if we all passed on you that would be pretty telling , eh?

Joe Theisman, Jake Scott, Vic Washington, Margene Adkins, Joe Kapp & Tom Cousineau.

No, he's trying too hard.

I am as well. But Hollywood spoiled it with the Kelvin Universe. And now two Trek universes. Of which we have discussed.

Yeah, I was 22 when ANH came out in 77. We never saw anything like it. Before Star Wars, spaceships were held up by strings & rocket engine exhaust looked like smoke from a candle. It was the Ewoks. later Jar Jar Binks. They turned me off Star Wars. I remember storming out of the theatre in 1981 muttering WTF I just saw. Everytime I see an Ewok, I just want to kill them. Slowly. Fricking teddy bears. Then in the 90's they introduced Jar Jar Binks. Just an annoying character. I stopped following the storyline at the time. I just go now to be entertained.

In Ottawa? Good luck with that team.

I really admire how some of you are really into Star Wars & can dissect every film. This is when I feel old & even though I've seen every Star Wars since ANH in 1977 there is no way I can even enter into a discussion here. I feel like I'm on a stagecoach 150 years ago racing across the Nevada desert on my way to old San Francisco when it comes to this.

The thing with Streveler is, if he signs with Ottawa then LaPo may keep him a gimmick qb doing what he's been doing the past 2 seasons. Perhaps Buck Pierce teaches him how to be a CFL qb. I have a feeling LaPo will do what's best for LaPo & he'll keep doing the same thing.

So do I but he has to learn the passing game. That should be his priority. He has to learn to rely less on his legs & more on his arm. He'll be much more dangerous if defenses have to respect the fact he is a passer. He'll never be Dieter Brock or Ricky Ray but he can be very effective. As a pro qb this is his next logical step.

His biggest signing was Nik Lewis. I did notice a bit of friction between Dunigan & Jim Barker but it was subtle last year when Barker was a part time panelist. Barker was fired a few days before Xmas 2003 by F Troop & replaced the next day by Dunigan. I think the news conference was Dec 23rd. Mark McLoughlin had been named Team Prez as soon as the season ended & called Barker into his office to supposedly talk about player personnel before shutting down for the Holidays. Instead, he was told he was fired & given just a few minutes to clear out his personal items. The sad part was he was going to the airport later in the day to pick up his mother who was flying in for Christmas with his family. McLoughlin was a snake. He was promoted from kicker to President by F Troop so Barker had been his Head Coach that season & then fires him 3 days before Xmas. He hired Dunigan & man, I remember the firestorm by angry fans & shocked media. Everyone felt sorry for Barker & how he was treated so close to Xmas & then to have the Dunigan presser the next day which meant Matty was already in town when Barker was fired. It was just so badly thought out, callous & bush league. McLoughlin never lasted with the Stamps. He was fired a few months later himself. The fans hated him & he has never really been a part of the Stamps alumni publicly ever since. He's one former player who is really invisible even though his name is on the Wall Of Fame at McMahon. I just got a sense that both Dunigan & Barker were cordial to each other on camera but that was it. Still some bad blood there & I could see it at times when they didn't agree.

Jefferson in Calgary? Streveler in Ottawa? Why would both Collaros & Arbuckle go to Toronto?? Both want to start & Collaros has no history with Dimnwiddie. Throw mud against a wall & some of it sticks.

That list is insane.

I'll say one thing about Dunigan. He was fired by the Stamps after one year in Calgary but he never on camera at least, held it against the team. I'm sure there were times when he wanted to give it to them but never has which is classy. Matty's a pro & carries himself that way.

I think you're way too sensitive about this. He's a Blue Bomber & not a Rider. All the receiving records he has. Blue & Gold. Everything.

Unfortunately, you're right. I watch it in bits & pieces now. I'll tune in the last 10 minutes to see what's going on.

Wrestling is becoming unwatchable to me now. More often than not, I just turn it off. The Corbin push for me is the last straw.

The guy works for TSN. He has to cater to all teams. His blood is blue & gold.

They can't even come back on us now since we won. They have 4. We have ELEVEN. They haven't won in 6 years.

I keep waiting for Ripper to show up but he's persona non grata.
