iso_55 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 And as much as Rider fans hate Burris, I don't even know that it was his decision to leave or not. I'm pretty sure it was because the Riders resigned Greene and didn't have cap space to sign Burris. No offense but how would you know? There's lots of us can remember exactly how it went down. Calgary wanted to make a big splash and sign a big name qb to wash the stink of the Feterik era off the team and they paid Burris a ton and gave him the starting job outright. Riders offered him nice money but they were keeping Greene around and wanted competition at the position. Burris doesn't like competition and he likes gettin' paid so he went to Calgary. Why should I be surprised that Calgary completely overpaid a player . They seem to be the Ottawa of the west. When was the last time the Stamps were over the cap? Please provide details to back up your statement. How about YOUR team? Hmmm, it was LAST YEAR. Not the first time either. Rider fans should be the last to accuse other teams of being over the cap. Cheaters gonna cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans like Burris, some don't. 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.

Migs Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue in the loops Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 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. NotoriousBIG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
