ya Word was that all these Rider fans were playing jokes on the Eskimos. They were calling the head office asking to know when their playoff Tickets were going on Sale.
the Esks staff were like "Huh? what?"
and the Rider fans were saying "don't you have a home playoff game?" :lol:
I just hate it when people do stuff like that.. altho I dont know if its true or not... or even if it is really "rider fans" doing it, could be anyone and might just be an assumption.... seeing as how it would be a long distance call just to be an idiot. ... I am so tired of being painted with that brush about people who cheer for my team are classless.. It truely ticks me off..
It's ok to celebrate among your own fans and to hype it up as much as you want and even rub it in to specific fans from apposing teams who may have it coming. However to rub it into an organization is classless.
It was actually a radio station in Saskatoon doing there daily morning prank telephone call. I happened to be in Stoon that day and heard the whole thing, it was kinda funny. They have a guy who has many voices and he calls all over the world as to whatever the hot topic of the day is. How this could translate into Rider fans is just another example of people blowing things out of proportion. Get your story straight before passing on garbage info.
hmm... sorry cfl.... but how do you find something low and nasty.. and funny at the same time..
A radio station doing a prank is one thing.. still think it was stupid.. but I have heard some really stupid things by radio stations, so Im not quite so annoyed..
What would be funny is a Calgary station calling the Rider office and asking how much tickets are to the Western Final, and then asking how much they charge for a replica of the Riders 4th grey cup ring.
It's a radio station, it's what they do. No biggie. If that is considered bad then the billboards the Riders took out in Edmonton and vice versa must have really ticked off people. More important things to worry about..., like who is still injured for the Riders after the last game?
A radio station phoning in and fans phoning in are totally different things. Radio station = 1 call. Saying fans are calling it is potentially hundreds...which would simply not be cool.
