Why would you bring the BC-Sask game into this? We are not talking about that game, just the Sask/Edmonton, BC-Calgary games! Your last statement is useless and irrelevant to this debate.
Mods, please reprimand jman for this post. He called me an idiot and I feel like this is out of line. Iām talking football and he is getting personal with me.
Darian Durant is our 3rd stringer, but once again, the debate is not about that, its about who had the more impressive win, and IMO, neither teamās win was more impressive than the other. You are the one bringing a useless point to this debate , not me.
Iām not debating anymore, I have nothing to debate nor complain about. As long as our injuries heal Iāll have an even bigger smile on my face. Whereās Durant from? Iāve never heard of him and wondering how you guys got him.
Mods, why is it that jman can get away with calling me the "I" word yet I get ripped to shreds whenever I say anything remotely inappropriate. Let's have some justice on these boards for once.
God help me, Iām on the same page as RLR on this one. Blowouts happen. On the weekend, The Riders were the wackers but three weeks ago they were the wackees. The Stamps and the Argos have both won big and lost big and the season is only 5 weeks old. So I think it is fair to say that registering a blowout is not such a remarkable deal. The Lions winning on the road with so many key injuries is another thing altogether. It sure caught my attention.
He is 17 and isnt arrogant about his teams success, because although he cheers them on (to the point where he literally cant talk after a home game), he realizes that, ultimately, it is his team who gets the wins and losses, not he the fan. He actually gives credit to other teams when they win or lose, and doesnt complain about his teamās players being injured, and using it as an excuse before the game has even been played. He doesnt say 18-0 every chance he gets, even before the season has started. When a player of the Riders get injured, he doesnt call the hit dirty, because after all, football is a tough sport.
God I hate writing in 3rd person lolā¦ Anyways I could keep writing, but I have better things to do, like reply to other postsā¦ And if you really must know where I was, I took my grandpa to bingo.
And just so you know, you get ripped because of the way you post. Maybe if you werent so biased and took off those orange glasses for a change, perhaps things would be different and people would take you seriously. Ever stopped for a minute and thought of that? Didnt think so.
Itās tough to be arrogant about your teamās success when they donāt have very much of it.
The statement about it being the team and not the fan who wins is a statement of a fan of a losing team. Never did I say I won anything on the field, but Iām allowed to be proud of the team thatās representing where Iām from.
Your team does not have 10% of the injuries that the Lions have, nor do they have the amount of wins the Lions have either. Injuries are not an excuse, they are a fact. With Joseph and Crandell down, watcha gonna do?
Hard to be 18-0 when youāre 3-2 unless you have a time machine.
RLR, I am a devout fan of the CFL with no affiliation to any particular team. I have been reading these forums for a long time, even before I joined. I don't post often and when I do, I make every effort to stay objective.
You might want to keep in mind that the Lions were not always champions. They (and I acknowledge that you acknowledge this) have been bad before, but you should equally beware that they will be again, maybe not this year or next, but it will come - it does with every team, even the Eskimos who had a pretty good playoff run up until last year. It's an irregular pendulum that happens to be swinging your team's way right now.
That's fine if you want to milk the good times for all they are worth while you have them, but I'd put a little water in your wine if I was in your situation. I'm surprised that other Lions fans don't self-regulate and send you that same kind of message ...
You're not the only one in this forum who would be wise to follow the same kind of advice, it is sure, but don't think it is okay just because others do it. Just like peace, humility starts in the heart.
