Let's keep this going for hundreds of years like it deserves.  

They should sign Antonio Brown, he'd fit right in.

I think the term Hero is passed around too much...but in this case...

Even clinging to their #1990 we still had what..6 or 7 more?  Now we have 3 times as many...sad lol

They are going on 112 years now Booch, and I believe you are referencing their 1989 Cup win, as a different team won it in 1990...cough...

I think Booch meant that they would throw 1990 at us.

@Geebrr can you guess who wrote this 3dn article based off the title?

The funny thing about this... is it's such a stretch for most of these players to say they were "grown" in they backyard...

Jefferson: played some good ball for Sask but was "grown" in Edmonton...
Collaros: played what, like 10 games for the Riders?... he was clearly grown in Toronto and Hamilton...
Bryant: never played a down with them... too easy...
Richie Hall: sure they can have that one... but I don't think Hall would be the difference in turning that sad sack of DBs into the elite unit we have had...
Neufeld: In Sask he was a young up and comer... he clearly grew here...
Hardrick: couldn't find a role in Sask or BC... again, clearly grown in Winnipeg...
Antigha: barely had any impact on this team... still would've won without him...

Saying these players/coach would've made the Riders back to back champs... is laughable at best... completely absurd in reality... but I guess their former players winning on other teams is the only way the Riders are going to celebrate any championships in the near future.  😂

Yep,4 Grey cups in 743 years,just double checked it.

I was thinking about being back in junior high when every girl had a pic of some teeny bop singer taped inside their lockers. 

Absolute clown-**** article. Imagine going to such absurd lengths to make the most inept active franchise in the league seem relevant to the success of another.

Well, when your team has only won 4 Championships, you constantly grasp at straws

‘Push the cap’: Glen Suitor wants Riders to load up on playmakers for home Grey Cup, even if it means ‘a little bit of a fine’

With free agency right around the corner, teams around the CFL are already wheeling and dealing to get ready for the 2022 season, but for some on the prairies, the hunt for the 109th Grey Cup means just a little more.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders will host the event in Mosaic Stadium and a chance at a home Grey Cup win doesn’t come around very often. In the eyes of long-time Rider turned CFL broadcaster Glen Suitor, the team must pull out all the stops to make it happen, even if that means bending the rules.

“You’ve got to load up this year if you’re Saskatchewan. If you were ever in a year where you were going to push the cap and push the restrictions and maybe even pay a little bit of a fine for going over, this is the year to do it,” Suitor told guest host Clayton Kroeker during his regular appearance on the SportsCage.

“I mean, you’ve got the game and the countdown is on. We’re playing the Grey Cup in Regina this year, so you get those playmakers back, as many as you possibly can, and continue to add.”

(It would be everlastingly sweet if the Bombers won their third straight Cup at Mosaic Stadium)

Really hope the league or TSN reprimands Suitor for this. Just such a bad look for a national broadcaster.

Oh please, tsn loves jerking off that fanbase.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd is a Rider fan in the 23rd century. Goes into a bar on a Federation Star Base looking to sell his season tickets to Mosaic Stadium #5 because they haven't won a championship in 300 years. No one wanted them so now he's got more tribbles than he bargained for.

TSN should fire that unprofessional broadcaster. Imagine if Aikman or Romo would advocating for the Cowboys to cheat. Pretty sure there would be consequences.

He will tell everyone he is unbiased though.

Such a joke.

So he confirms it was exactly what he said. I am not sure why he thinks that it matters that he was asked about the Riders on the show he does several times a week. 

Comical that he sees a difference in what he said vs what he hears on social media.

Yep, we won B2B Grey Cups by "pushing the cap" (cheating).  He really needs to be replaced on TSN. 

As I said, imagine if Romo or Aikman did this. NFL would have them taken off the telecasts. Or imagine a broadcaster on HNIC advocating the Leafs do this. Bettman would lose his ****.

I think the issue here is Suitor has become too comfortable in his position with TSN. There's nobody younger bucking to replace him so he's become cocky, opionated & arrogant. He's not afraid to show his biases. He needs to be reigned in as a commentator. His tweet kinda says it all. Like, "What'd I say?? C'mon!" He just has absolutely no idea.
