So here's something; You know how it is often said that the Ottawa Rough Riders dropped that name in 1924 or 1925 in favour of Senators, despite evidence to the contrary?

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@Shane_13thman @lordele @DefendTheR @REDBLACKS And that's why they don't sell the flaming R logo or the logger one.

Everything is the iconic R, because people will associate it with the successful years. No one wears it to relive Super Season '88.

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@Shane_13thman @DefendTheR @REDBLACKS But what business would?

You sell glory years, not teams that failed to make the playoffs for their 4 seasons of existence.

If they do throwback jerseys, do you think they'll push Burris, or Matt Nichols? 🤔

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@lordele @DefendTheR @Shane_13thman @REDBLACKS I get throwing out the occasional Rough Riders item. There's real history there.

The Renegades are like Highlander 2. Most of those who saw it would prefer to pretend it never happened.

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@DefendTheR @Shane_13thman @REDBLACKS It's not lame because of the calendar, it's lame because the team was ass. Their one accomplishment is further tarnishing Ottawa's image as a football market.

I find it hard to believe that there will ever be a business case to be made for this.

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@Shane_13thman @DefendTheR @REDBLACKS Have you noticed that they've never honoured the shitty ones?

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@DefendTheR @Shane_13thman @REDBLACKS Why would they do that? There's nothing to celebrate besides merely existing. They even made fun of them during the name selection process. The 1940s Trojans are more worthy.

Granted, that 7-11 season seems heavenly now...

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@Shane_13thman @DefendTheR @REDBLACKS That's got to be a pretty damn small target market, especially for a team that has precious little to celebrate.

[Ontario Football Officials Assoc. @OntFootballRefs]

DYN the #1 reason that football officials quit is because of the abuse behaviour of spectators. This includes the parents of young players. Remember if we have no officials there can be no games. Be better!

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@CyAllen8 @1CFLAtt @REDBLACKS What's this now?

[Coty Wiles @CotyWiless]

All of Aaron Casey, Kemari Munier-Bailey, and Binjimen Victor were some of the best players to be cut this weekend, the Ottawa Redblacks have scooped up all three.

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@BSection3384 @RepoleStable Damn near every bio on the staff page includes the phrase "enters his first season". How did anyone think this would work? 🥴

[CC Rider @FootballCapital]

@BSection3384 @RepoleStable I hated that hire from day 1, like many people did. But I assumed he'd have enough sense and connections to surround himself with experience.

[Rouge Radio Podcast @RougeRadio]

Alright... Who's a notable name that you think will be cut today? #CFLCutdownDay
