(Picture removed to make me feel like a big man)Henry Burris, former Saskatchewan Roughriders pivot.
Why did he leave Saskatchewan? Well it would seem that some of Saskatchewans' fans border on fanatical, and after one of their players (Paul McCallum) missed a field goal attempt to cause the loss of the Western Final last year, some mouth breathers went to his home and dumped manure on his front lawn and threatened his family. These people are all either in jail or have been fined. But in the mean time the players (especially play makers like QBs) don't want to run the risk of their families or homes being attacked because of a missed play. Can you blame them?
I love Roughrider football, actually the CFL altogehter. My best time of the weekend is 1 hour before game time when I settle in forthe game with my #33 Szarka jersey on and my football in hand. I watch every minute and break only for bathroom or beer duties.
This weekend is a very important game and I will be in my regular spot on the couch Sunday and my heart will be with the 27000 at Taylor Field. In this neck of the woods, a CFL fan is rare. In this neck of the woods, a CFL superfan is more rare. That's why the West is home to me, and the fans are better than anywhere in Canada. Not because fans take it personally when their team fails. Go Riders!

That's ok hte refs blew their whistles to end a fumble recovery that would have been another 7. You didn't have to.
Me thinks dem Riders like Toronto!
Me thinks dem Riders went into da locker room at the half and said" we decide our own fate" aka MR. Kicker! Then with a reply MR.D-line said "let's play like crap, so we can look as bad as the Regina RAMS, or even better BOMBERS"
What a first half, WOW!
Then the Second half came!
I feel with you and Big Craig at the line, Sly on Kicker Duties, myself as QB, Jr. as Running back, and finally my aging father at slot back. We could also pull out a 21 - 6 spread and become victorius by 8 points. WHAT WAS THAT??????
Tell Molson to STOP dropping off the kegs by the locker room befor the game is done!!
Better yet, put a "No Weed in between quarters " clause in all of there contracts.
Yep, for the first time since i was a "more" wee man. I am in dicust with our Team green
(note: they don't deserve to captitalized green or even have my comment spelled in proper from)
