Your hyperbole continues to be hilarious.

I don’t think anyone in that entire thread mentioned “a real chance” at signing Claypool. Most either didn’t know who he was, and if they did, they know about his attitude issues.

I do enjoy your continued efforts to speak for all Rider fans. You’re good at it.

There is an entire thread about it on your forum. Hyperbole? Hardly. Making the case that Rider fans are uneducated about football does not absolve the absurdity of the thread, just reinforces my point really and is telling us something we already knew.

Do I enjoy, and revel, in dumb **** Rider fans say? Yep. This is a BOMBERS forum after all. I have seen a crap load of the same at Riderfans directed at Bomber fans. Kinda goes with the territory.

I think it is sewn into the fabric.

I don't think so. I heard they leave that scent behind so other Rider fans will know they were there. If they were to stop, they would probably need the glands expressed periodically by a licensed vet.

In retrospect the 2022 game was still the bigger piss off. 
23 Montreal was on a roll. Bombers still should have won, but it happens. 

22 was lost simply due to completely avoidable mistakes. Legghio’s miss and that bloody stupid call on the Prukop pass. 
 

I can get past the most recent one but 2022 is up there with 2001 and the 08 ESF as the losses I’ll never get over as a fan.

Yup but at least we made the show 4 times in a row, hopefully a nice round 5 coming up with a big W to wrap it up with.

Uhhhhh no, of course not silly.

“Claypool to the CFL” doesn’t translate remotely to “Rider fans think they have a shot at signing him.” 
 

You literally made that up. I’m not sure it’s Rider fans education you should be concerned about.

Meanwhile in Rider land they think they may have a real chance at signing Claybrooks..Can't make this stuff up.

Devon Claybrooks??? There's a blast from the past. I think he's coaching in the BC Junior Football League now. The new Rider HC Corey Mace kind of reminds me of him. He became the Next Big Thing with the all star defense he coached the last two seasons in Toronto. Claybrooks rose up fast thru the coaching ranks with the Stamps after being a player. He inherited one of the greatest defenses in living memory as Stamps DC & won a GC with Alex Singleton as his MLB. Became the BC Lions HC & failed miserably as they had few defensive stars. Got fired after one season never to be heard from again.

We'll see if Mace follows his former Defensive Coach Claybrooks & fails miserably in Regina.

The Saskatchewan Stink. Kinda has a nice ring to it.

I take back any negative comments I may have ever made about Taman and his Subway napkins because finding neg list prospects from the yokels on RF is a new low.  Well done O'Day, I sincerely hope you get a lifetime contract as GM of the Riders!

Oof. He should have just said "be ******' Proud of it." 

The f-sharp here would have been so much better.

My nephew claims credit for alerting Taman to a player in 2005 or 2006. He submitted a question to a weekly column in either The Sun or Free Press, where Taman answered reader inquiries during the offseason or something like that. He asked if Taman was considering signing a recently suspended NFL running back (I think Ontario Smith based on some googling), to which Taman replied in the negative, not in the plans.

However, a few weeks later, the team signed the running back! Taman never acknowledged or thanked him for the scouting tip! LOL! Sorry if he's told this story in this forum before, I know he still lurks.

Robert, given very good odds, how much  of your own money would you spend on this prediction/bet?

At least a looney? 

Edited April 2, 20241 yr by BigBlue

ranking the Gappers at the top, as legitimate as the claim MAY be in some years, should be an automatic banishment (or a suspension at LEAST) from this site...

Yeah, looking at those predictions, all I have to say is

I’ll agree with all. Could see Ottawa maybe taking Montreal’s spot depending on the success of Brown.

The teams go as the QB does. 

Collaros is still the best qb in the league. Also not a meth smoking ******. Dudes a swiftie tho but still.

 

Adams is the 2nd best in the west. I personally had a hard time with 3 and 4 cuz MBT is better than Harris in my opinion, he’s quirky but he’s a good cfl QB and Harris behind that line is like Rodgers in NY with the Jets. Injured instantly. Meier regressed. 
 

same in east. 
dislike Kelly but it’s him fajardo brown and since blm is still in Hamilton by default they are done. Plus they have like 20 starting DL there so I’m not sure who is smoking the meth out east any more.
