riderssuck.ca

Well, here's a site that seems to have raised the ire of Rider fans.

http://www.riderssuck.ca

The domain was claimed by the Winnipeg Sun and is dedicated to bashing the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Frankly, I find it hilarious.

I'm a Rider fan, but there is zero harm in this site.  It's not going over so well with other Rider fans though, who have taken this humorous site personally.

I love it when people make fun of the fact Saskatchewan has won just three Grey Cups in a hundred years, but the reality is that this regime has been in the championship game twice in the last three years and was a missed 18 yard field goal (thanks Paul McCallum) from being in a third Grey Gup in the last six years.  Let's all have a good laugh at previous Saskatchewan Roughrider management teams, but this team has been looked after very well in the last half dozen seasons.  How many times has Winnipeg won a Grey Cup in the last six years?

What your team did 50 years ago really isn't relevant to today.  I also love it when Montreal Canadiens fans brag about their 26 Stanley Cups or whatever it is that they've won over the years.  Well, first of all there were only six teams in the league for the longest time and they had first dibs on all the good French Canadian players, so they better win more than the average team.  But, also answer this question:  How many times has Montreal won in the last fifteen years?  The answer is as many times as the Columbus Blue Jackets.  Thanks, now go away with your 26 Stanley Cups.  Oh, and enjoy that all-star calibre goaltending this season that you'll be getting......in St. Louis.
