I can tell you sure as ****, that Mr. Orridge is taking his marching orders on this from the collective of ownership around the league. They have been playing fast and loose with the league's internally policed honor system. You don't go poaching other teams entire coaching staffs during Grey Cup week, you don't go tampering with players, you don't try to buy a winner by setting up a competitive advantage outside the boundaries of the rules, and you most certainly don't give off the appearance that you don't give a **** while you're doing it.
Orridge gave them a ***** slap. Does anyone truly believe that it wasn't orchestrated by the rest of the league's owners? Riderfans may not like it but this was the warning shot across the bow from the rest of the league. Start acting with some dignity and class or the rest of the league will put the screws to you.

Can you blame that fan base for being so out to lunch. Their journalists are cheer leaders that openly fellate the team, and provide completely unrealisitic, untrue, and openly stupid commentary. So sad.
 
Over on Riderfans they are fellating themselves as the "flagship" franchise in the league with undying fan support. The reason given....we make the most money and are propping up the whole league. Ummmmm.....last year you LOST 4.3 million dollars. Can't see their uber competitive team they are fielding this year providing any more of a profit. A year or two away from telethons again. I guess now it would be a GoFundMe campaign I suppose.
What is the worst in all of this is that they are trying to circumvent an SMS that was designed to keep them from folding, and is STILL keeping them from folding. As much as the Riders would like to believe that they can run with the big dogs, in a non-SMS reality they would be crushed under by the Wetenhalls and Bob Youngs of the league. It's laughable when they equate profits to their ability to outspend other teams. This league has owners that piss away more money in a day than the Riders make in a year.

The Riders have won 5 games out of their last 31 games. There are problems is Riderville. Big problems. Systemic problems. They are a gong show right now that is easily on par with the gong show we witnessed when Kelly was here. Just watch the mass exodus of players coming this offseason. Players are going to run for the hills away from them.

They sure sound batshit crazy don' they? You have to wonder where they come up with this, until you read an article by their most respected journalist and he is clearly the ring leader.

Your original offer was massive according to Lawless. Far more than any other draft pick in this class and possibly the biggest one ever, When guys like Vaillancourt were signed for far less, Jones decided his original offer was way too high and retracted it. That led to the shmozzle you guys had over the past two months. Now he signs a contract more in line with what Chungh and Mateas got last year and you are claiming victory for Jones. Still looks like egg on his face from my perspective.

Because Jones has an ego the size of New York city that's why. I think Jones is a guy who needs to work for someone who can reign him in, however, left to his own devices he becomes his own worst enemy, Much like Mike Kelly.

Don't worry. The Riders defensive backfield is just a mish mash of rookies and below average veterans. Ray will have a field day.

So....not only did they design it to look like a toilet...they designed it to look like a gas station toilet. Classy.

I'm sure he did but cut them anyway, Ese is a highly paid underachiever, and Guy has not fully recovered from a career threatening injury. PR spots are agreed to before the paperwork on releases is filed with the league as they are discussed at the time of release. If Wally really wanted to hang onto one or both of these players he had options.
I can certainly understand why he let Ese go. That was a colossally blown off the board pick re-inforced with an ludicrous contract. Think Pencer or Etienne. I can also understand why he let Dillon Guy go. Simply no room for him on the roster. He could develop into a good one, but he struggled in camp and needs developmental time. Unfortunately for the Lions, it seems he is unwilling to do it on the PR. Can't see how the Riders are going to roster these two but it sure does speak volumes about the state of their NAT depth.
I suppose that Ese can end the Reaves petrie dish experiment though, and that Guy is probably a better prospect than McKay.

Not defending the offence last night, but I can say in the two days I attended camp the offensive plays in camp and what we saw last night are completely night and day. Vast difference between what we saw in preseason and what the offence will actually look like. It concerns me that execution was so poor last night with such a simplified playbook though.

I heard that the Riders had a similar type of photo to promote a tailgate. Unfortunately, they decided to pull the pin on it after PETA, Greenpeace, and a bunch of other animal rights felt it was inhumane to make sheep wear green jerseys, mini skirts, and lipstick, while holding up a bottle of Pilsner seductively.
Would have drove the Rider fans crazy tho....pinned up in every barn from Moosomin to Melville.
