I've disliked the Calgary Stampeders ever since the George Reed vs Wayne Harris wars. I absolutely despised the Stamps through the Henry Burris-Nik Lewis era. Now, I guess I'm mellowing because I just envy the entire Stamps organization.It doesn't seem to matter who retires, who moves on to the NFL or who gets injured. Hufnagel just replaces them.The Riders have never had that ability. Ever!For years it was a financial thing (telethons etc.) But now that we're solvent there's the salary cap. Even if there was no cap the Riders still can't recruit anybody anyway no matter who's in charge.… Read more »

If you build it (stadium/Sk. Rrs team Jones), they will come. Patience grasshopper!
Probably one of the best coaches in the CFL has got to be the Calgary O-line coach whoever that is. Consistently the best at protecting the QB, good at run blocking and they keep training rookies that develop into good players. WE just don't have that here.
If they don't win the Cup this year I will be surprised as they are the class of the league once again. Imagine being a first place team year after year and being the favourite to win the Grey Cup. Wonder what that must feel like?
I still think something is going on over in Calgary. How can they consistently find and plug and play players, and they all look like NFL quality?
Are they paying them extra money? What are they promising these players to play there?
Something stinks in Cowtown and it is not the cows.
A kindergarten kid in Calgary has only seen the home team lose 7 games total at McMahon in his lifetime! Stampeders home record Regular season & playoffs 40-7 past 5 years! 40-7

It isn't just the current management, it's been going on for years. Even when talent has accidently landed in their lap the Riders haven't known what to do with them. Jonathan Jennings tried out for the Riders but wasn't good enough for the brainthrust of the day. Last year's regime kept Naaman Roosevelt on the practice roster for half of the season. If not for injury he never would have got in. Same story for Jerrell Freeman a few years ago with different eyes evaluating him. He too spent half a season on the practice roster and finally got in… Read more »
