“I HAD A CONCUSSION”

The Roughriders emerged from their closed practice on Wednesday in a jovial mood. They’ll visit the Calgary Stampeders in Sunday’s 2013 CFL West Division Final and are not interested in engaging in trashtalk with their opponents.

“I got a gag order,” smiled Rider defensive back Dwight Anderson, who was recently voted the CFL’s top talker-of-trash in a TSN poll.

D.A. was reminded of his postgame comment after their 29-25 loss in Calgary on October 26 when he said “Calgary sucks” and that they’ll be back to beat the Stampeders this weekend in the WDF. Period.

“What comment?” Anderson questioned. “I don’t remember. I think I had a concussion that game.”

Rider head coach Corey Chamblin was asked about comments from the Stampeders this week that they’ll enjoy using the Rider locker room in the Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium.

“Whoever has those thoughts, I think those are all good thoughts,” Chamblin observed. “All they’re saying is they want to be in the Grey Cup. We want to be able to use the locker room also. I think that’s what it is. There are two teams in the West right now and that’s what we’re fighting for; the opportunity to have that locker room.”

Any indication this was sarcasm Rod? Following his 'gag order' was he making a joke that he doesn't remember saying anything?

No, he's just plain stupid. He has no control over his actions and responsibilies as a adult and a so called professional athlete.

Anyone else notice the two guys wearing Dressler jerseys, sitting first row behind the Minnesota Wild bench? Just noticed them after the 5 minute plus match penalty to Kadri, half way through the third period. Good job representing guys 🙂

Good job Mr. Administrator, it's about time we got these jerks off of here. Hey you guys Anderson is having a little fun , leave him be . He will show up big time on Sunday just like he did with that monstrous hit on BC last game. I'll say Riders 22 Cal 18 in this one. Go Riders.

DA is a smart guy. He was poking fun at Calgary with his "can't remember" comment. Think back to Drew Tate telling reporters after a game last year that he didn't remember the second half at all.

He's a football player and does a fine job. By what standard do we judge. I have met a few 'honoured' successful people in my life … if the cameras were on some of them day to day they may not be so honoured.

My what a difference a season makes…
From:
What?!?! Why would BT ever sign this guy!?!? Nothing but a trouble maker!!
To:

Gives me a chuckle.

Hey Anon… If I was one of the guys who said he was a problem then your comment would make sense. Like Dallas Eakins said (albeit oilers still suck) we aren't looking for son in laws we are trying to win. DA helps us win. Period.

Still would rather have DA on our team winning than have him trying to beat us on another team.
