Harris gets burned at the stake by RF but Micah is a saint? How strong are those drugs over there???

Strong enough that they need to be administered rectally by a cousin. Or so their cousins would have them believe.

Wow, two rectum jokes in a 5 minute span. Must be Friday.

I come in here to see how this board functions when you guys aren’t playing the Riders, and this thread is largely just talking Riders, are you 100% sure we’re the ones who are “obsessed”?

Well the nuance you may not be picking up on is a lot of us here are obsessed with, no matter the four Grey Cups the Riders have won since joining the league in 1961, that they truly indeed suck and suck hard. To illustrate this point what you'll see at times on this board will be a discussion about something completely unrelated to the Riders and we will randomly put in our 'analysis' something like btw, Riders suck! It's in our DNA.

All in good fun my friend 🙂

Me thinks he is gone, at least until we next lose.

Well I dig it! I’ll join in on the ribbing when applicable then, and we will all get along great.

Truth is I just wanna talk with more CFL fans, tough to find where I live. This is an active board that I get a kick out of.

A Rider fan on social media & you haven't heard of Rider Fans??? Au contraire.

John Rush does a weekly thing here on the local radio station in Steinbach he has some interesting takes on the Riders amoungst other things.

He also somehow showed up on my Twitter feed threatening to go to anti-vax rallies and beat people up. I don't even follow him on Twitter. Real tough guy.

He said he would escort anyone to their appointments. 

Also something about "how would they feel getting beat up by a guy looking like this" and a photo of him with a man-bun. It's there somewhere in the Twitter verse. If he's planning to have some kind of media career, not a great position to take. Wasn't impressed as a Bombers fan from an alumni.

What he posted was if anyone wanted someone to walk in to the hospital with the day of that the protest were going to happen he would walk them in a protect them from protesters.

He also got vaxxed in a wedding dress and raised money/awareness of transgender rights and issues. 

Makes me very proud that he's a Bomber alum.

That is impressive, truly. Former pro athlete threatening to beat up people - not at all impressive. Look, you might be him, or friends with him. Don't know. And I'm fully vaxxed, not attending any rallies, so I'm not defending that camp. As an adult, life long Bombers fan, never want to see an alumni of any pro sport threatening to beat up citizens. Bad move. And he did on Twitter.

I'm not really worried about the white supremacists. If they're going to block access for cancer patients to attend their appointments, I have no problem with someone escorting them in. If they get violent, that's on them.

Nope. Didn't see that one. Just saw one from Rush saying what I put before. Maybe it was in response to this. Who knows. Showed up in my feed, though I don't follow him.

Anyways, didn't know Rush was such a beloved Winnipeg sports alumni. And not going to debate or defend who is at protests. 

My point - still sticking to it - pro athletes, and retired pro athletes, should never threaten to beat up civilians. Period. Even provoked. Especially if you're planning a post retirement media career. You don't think pro athletes get provoked all the time!? Try playing any kind of pro sport in Philadelphia as a visiting team.

I will agree to disagree.
