The Burris to SSK Saga

Is there anything more bizarre than the abandoning of a Riders' fan hate level for Burris as the gold standard of a being a Rider fan in favour of trading for him becasue sticking with backups means you're not serious about salvaging the season and therefore not a real fan ?

 

It's truly surreal what's going on over there.

Is there even a track for this thread to stay on?

Technically, still on track as we are discussing burris and the salary cap implications to our cross-eyed cousins to the west..

Burris is not coming to Riders. The only people suggesting this are a couple imbecile journalists & a few drunk fans.

But the fact fans are royally flip flopping on such a central and traditional concept of hating Burris and actually entertaining the idea of him returning.
Unless all fans share the same opinions all the time then your theory makes no sense. Some fans like Burris, some don't.

What do you expect from a bunch of bandwagon jumpers? The whole hate for Burris is stupid anyway, it's long past time they got over it. It was like 10 years ago he went to Calgary.

Bandwagon jumpers? Riders attendance has stayed pretty consistent since Mosaic was expanded. What was attendance at IGF last night?

Your fanbase's treatment of the guy is schizophrenic to say the very least & disgusting at the worst. Rider fans  been on him since he left in 2005. To deny that means  you are a liar.Truth was, Shivers & Barrett wanted Nealon Greene as their starter & expected Hank to sign for less. He didn't & left. Then Shivers made the guy out to be a traitor & Rider fans bought in en masse. "Oh he promised he'd stay. He said so. Now we hate him".  What a bunch of bogus BS. I'd hope if Hank did have a chance to go back to the Riders to help them win again, he gives the entire Saskatchewan Roughrider fanbase the middle finger salute & says eff off as you guys would deserve it.

Better than what six out of nine teams draw every game. So what was the attendance when the Riders had a shitty team in the Al Ford era??? Ten thousand??

It's all about that complex they have where they just think players should be honoured to play in Regina. It's a level of arrogance that is unlike anything.

Why are you always so miserable? Is it because Khari finally got a ring last year?

why is this topic on a blue bomber fan forum? Shouldn't it be on the rider fans or general discussion part?

What does the Al Ford era way back when have to do with the current generation of Riders fans?

Any of the other city's out west is an upgrade over Regina. My sister who is a doctor in Edmonton turned down a high pay job in Regina.

I knew this was just a matter of time... ;)

And we're done.

This is why you all can't have nice things.
