Well it's been a freaking crazy week in Riderville.
First we win big against Hamilton, and lose our backup QB for 4-6 weeks on a fluke injury. Get well soon Marcus. Then the rumours start and the forums go nuts. Monday afternoon the rumours are confirmed that Jim Hopson and the Board of Directors have fired Roy Shivers. If you haven't been paying attention I think that is one of the most stupid moves in Rider history, and there have been many. So anyway Roy does one interview with CBC and the shit hits the fan again. Some rednecks that weren't really paying attention twisted one of his quotes about the fans and it got ugly. All the vultures came out of hiding and the forums are mainly just crap piled on top of crap right now. One football thread and 10 anti-Roy threads. But I have always liked and respected Roy Shivers and that won't stop now. I wish him the best wherever he ends up. He always treated myself and my family really well and he was always good for telling you the truth even if you didn't really want to hear it. The truth is something I had gotten used to from the team. I have a feeling I will have to get used to "spin" really fast. Oh well. Thank you Roy and good luck.
Now we have a new GM. Mr.Eric Tillman, or Howdy Doody as I started calling him years ago and I just can't stop now. He really used to be the spitting image of Howdy Doody but he's growing out of it now. I know that the team hasn't played a game since he's been hired. So how did I end up in a picture with him and Condell in my full gear? Calgary road trip. Or I could say I'm just that good and knew what was going to happen a couple weeks ago. OK I have pics with most of the coaches and broadcasters league wide. So if Tillman decides to fire Barrett I am ready with a pic of me and the new coach, unless it's Austin. He keeps avoiding me.
Oh well I'm out of time now. And I really didn't say anything as usual. And for those that want to post a comment and wonder about the comment moderation thing don't worry. Your comment will still be posted but I have to OK them first. Not censor them just OK them. I had a bit of a problem with spammers in the last couple of days.
Anyway thanks for reading.
