From a Stamps fan congradulations Riders. Your defense was absolutely dominant over supposedly the best offence in the league. The 2 most arrogant teams in professional sports are watching tv next weekend while the west plays in the grey cup. Wally continues to put great teams on the field with very little results, looks good on him as he has become as arrogant as his teams. Good luck to the Riders next weekend…Riders-24, Bombers-6
Does Winnipeg have a backup quarterback with ANY experience? It’s really sad to think the showcase game in the CFL is going to have one team without it’s number one QB, and then try to convince anyone they’ll be competitive.
If Vegas gave odds on this game….no, they probably wouldn’t…..1000 to 1?
TED: BC were so full of themselves they were legends in their own minds. Unlike BC who thought it was superior and did the funky chicken on every play or every time they got in front of the camera the Riders just played hard and performed.
Keep it up BC keep telling yourself your Lions are great while the world passes you by.
Blue Bombers versus RoughRiders, wow!
Grey Cup will be a great game.
Better than anyteam vs the 2007 Patriots (yawn)
The CBC is replaying the five greatest Grey Cup games next weekend.
The 1989 Rider win over Hamilton is not one of them.
I guess a 43-40 game that was decided by a field goal with just a few seconds left doesn’t qualify.
Morons.
In light of the Rider win perhaps the torch could make a comeback.
Dmorris, if you’re offering those odds, I’ll lay a fiver. Let me know if you accept.
The Bombers front seven will make it interesting. Let’s not forget Joseph, the MOP candidate from the West, was barely 50% passing with just over 200 yards. Good thing Jackson was terrible, because Joseph wasn’t much better.
And Clair, the CBC shows classic games every year, and not necessarily the most exciting. I’ve seen the Riders win on their schedule in previous years.
People in Canadian cities.
On streets.
With flags.
Were not making this up.

Ryan Dinwiddie will surprise all.
Finally horns honking. In the last week I have driven down College Drive in Saskatoon a few times and have yet to hear a horn honk to support the CUPE workers on the pickets. I wonder if they still think taxpayers support them??
I see this as a win-win-win-win-win-win-win situation!
Sask beats BC – I win because I always bet against BC
Winnipeg beats TO – I win because I always bet against TO
Grey Cup – WPG beats Sask – I win because it’s the home team
Grey Cup – Sask beats WPG – I win because:
a) My buddy who works for the Riders will very very happy
b) I get to watch a bunch drunken fools in Regina climb street lamps and break beer bottles … then mock Fools from Regina ( who probably voted for the NDP anyway)
Bonus Win – I get to mock Torontonians for being themselves
Lastly – I’ll watch the game and enjoy it in spite of the (probably as usual) lack luster Grey Cup performance.
But who knows? Maybe I’ll be surprised.
Huh? Am I missing some deep humor here or something, or just the ramblings of an ahole?
Racist because of the way they treated players like Kenton Keith and the way they got rid of Shivers.
Corrupt because Tillman (the weasle) hired his best friend, Austin, without interviewing anyone. That and Jim Hopson is generally a bad, bad person.
Could have just had the game in moosomin or Brandon would save on driving.
The socialist big government bombers vs the recently freed riders,
Here we go bombers, here we go.
Here we go bombers, here we go.
Whatever that means?
Hey, it’s only an eight team league. Your team is supposed to get to the final at least once in a while. 🙂
Robert S Porter, you are just bitter.
Without question the ramblings of an ahole. Porter if you’re looking for racists look no further than Shivers. Compare his sorry record with what Tilman and Austin have accomplished in one year. A berth in the Grey Cup no less. Was never going to happen under Shivers and Barrett. Hopson looks like a genius.
Let’s have some fun with this and really annoy Toronto. I suggest we take the gold from the bombers and the green from the riders and repaint the cup. We can then call it the John Deere Cup. A cup that we on the prairies can be proud of!
Porter if you’re looking for racists look no further than Shivers.
Typical ignorant comment from this province. The type of person who labels every black player and thug and shouts the n-word at the players. George Reed was right, this province is the most racist place.
The team is essentially Shiver’s anyway.
The only drawback for Saskatchewan is the short blob of buffoonery from Wascana with his arse sitting in the HOC. He stood and puffed off about the Rider’s win and going to the Grey Cup today, kind of took away from it somehow.
When he’s not brown nosing around the Liberal leader or prospective leader he’s making all sorts of desperate snortings as the desperate twit he is.
In spite of Ranting Ralphy, Go Riders!!
I suspect Alberta’s oil-patch productivity to be very low on Monday…
Porter, if I hated this province as much as you appear to hate this province and the people of this province I would seriously consider moving for the sake of good mental health. While the entire province celebrates and rejoices you sulk and whine. Talk about out of step.
All names are silver on the Grey Cup.
Most people here don’t give a flying rats arse what colour you are. You’re a good person, you don’t get in trouble with the law, you are respectful to the fans and media, you do some wonderful work in the community, you listen and follow your coach and team leaders, you act as a role model for children (and adults), you fight through injury because you want to win so damn bad. You are one win from bringing home the Grey Cup, through sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and grit, to some of the greatest fans a team could have.
Oh, you’re black/native/hispanic/asian….? I didn’t really notice and I don’t really care. You’re on my team. I got your back – you got mine.
George Reed, who I am sure is a great man (never met him), is only one opinion. Why was Corey Holmes so happy to come back? Why did Kerry Joseph LOSE money to stay here? How come Hunt, Floyd, Adams, Dominguez……. all stay here? I don’t think its because we are the most racist place.
They don’t care what colour their skin is. It doesn’t matter. They play football. They are good at it. People love what they do in and for our community, and love them for it. Colour doesn’t affect that; it doesn’t affect anything. They realize that and act like that, and then others realize that and act like that. What else do the Rider players and their fans realize?
We’re all Green on the inside.
Hopefully on Sunday, our boys end up Grey, too.

Typical. I prefer to say and make changes. Complacency has never solved anything.

There are many reasons why a player would choose to stay despite racism. Be it jobs or Grey Cup contention, but that doesn’t defend the conduct of the province. If you dig deeper you will see that the province accepts some black players and not others. It is directly related to how they act and this province is quick to label many of the players “thugs”. That’s where the racism comes from and it must be defeated.

I don’t follow you Robert, how is judging a player by how they ACT racist? Isn’t racism when you judge someone based on their skin colour?
And if the player does choose to act (dress, walk, talk…) like a “thug”, assuming you mean the (life)style so disgustingly over-portrayed in music videos, movies, television, etc., then is it not rational to label them as such? And then, is the labeling not due to the actions of the person rather than their colour?
Robert Porter, it was Shivers who said that he would only hire a black coach and didn’t consider hiring a white coach.
Wouldn’t that be an example of racism?
As far as this being Shivers team, at the end of June, 17 of the 42 players were new. Since then there have been even more changes.
Shivers and Barret never made it this far, I guess the proof is in the pudding.
Mind you maybe it’s now that the NDP curse has been lifted from Saskatchewan the Roughriders are destined to win the cup.
Tillman’s trades this year have been nothing short of brilliant; Cates for a back up O lineman, Holmes for Armstead and Getslaf, etc etc.
Regarding Kenton Kieth, Dungey had to have a little chat with him and tell him to lose the attitude or he would never play in the NFL again.
This is the first of the Sask Party’s hidden agenda items. Riders win the Grey Cup 4 years in a row.
I don’t get this whole football thing. The players are mercenaries…dogs who will hunt with whomever provides their meal. How is that anything to be proud of?
I don’t follow you Robert, how is judging a player by how they ACT racist? Isn’t racism when you judge someone based on their skin colour?
Because you’re putting them into a group. You are saying that because they listen to rap/where chains etc etc they must be gang bangers. And if the player does choose to act (dress, walk, talk…) like a “thug”, assuming you mean the (life)style so disgustingly over-portrayed in music videos, movies, television, etc., then is it not rational to label them as such? And then, is the labeling not due to the actions of the person rather than their colour?
That’s racist. To assume that because they dress “black” that they are fair game to be placed into a group and assume to be criminals is pure racism. The labeling comes from the immediate association of black and a style of dress or not acting “white”. It all comes down to you thinking that black culture is not as good as your white culture.
Robert Porter, it was Shivers who said that he would only hire a black coach and didn’t consider hiring a white coach.
Wouldn’t that be an example of racism?
That’s a bastardization of what Shivers said. What he said was that he would jump at the chance to hire a black coach, not that he would ignore all white coaches. Tillman’s trades this year have been nothing short of brilliant.
Tillman’s trades are overrated. The most significant addition was Kent Austin, whose success is a fluke. Not to mention that fact that his hiring is a sign of Tillman’s corruption. Tillman and Austin are friends and Tillman interviewed no one. Regarding Kenton Kieth, Dungey had to have a little chat with him and tell him to lose the attitude or he would never play in the NFL again.
Provide me with a link to this. Until then I’m saying it’s a load of garbage.
Porter, according to you Tillman hired his friend Austin, therefore Tillman is corrupt. It doesn’t matter that in his first year as coach Austin brought the green riders to the Grey Cup.
Now compare that to Shivers who hired his friend Barrett only because Barrett was black. Shivers then kept Barrett on the payroll even though game after game Barrett was outcoached and was proven to be incompetent. Shivers didn’t give a damn about the team. He only wanted to prove a blach GM and black coach could succeed and in that regard he was a total failure. The guy was racist to his bones and I figure the same applies to you Porter. FYI blacks can be racist as well as whites and your mindless drivel proves that statement.

No that’s completely irrelevant. Just because it worked out does not excuse the initial corruption. Now compare that to Shivers who hired his friend Barrett only because Barrett was black.
Barrett and Shivers were not friends before. They became friends after. Shivers then kept Barrett on the payroll even though game after game Barrett was outcoached and was proven to be incompetent.
Hyperbole. Shivers didn’t give a damn about the team.
Completely not true. He only wanted to prove a blach GM and black coach could succeed and in that regard he was a total failure.
Yeah because getting to the Finals 3/4 years is a failure. The guy was racist to his bones and I figure the same applies to you Porter.
Excuse me you accusitory little weasle. Your views on Shivers are predicated on incorrect information. And calling me a racist is quite rich coming from you. FYI blacks can be racist as well as whites and your mindless drivel proves that statement.
Never said they couldn’t. I’m sure Shiver’s wife, Carol, who happens to be white, would agree that he’s a huge racist.
