"I don't give a rat's (behind) about Calgary," steamed Lloyd. "I can't stand them, I don't like them and, in as many words, (screw) them."

Yikes. Feed him some raw meat and let him go.

I agree, Opus. Don't give them any ammo. But this looks more like material to fire his own team up instead of the Thamps. In fact, I think he is calling himself out.

I am more concerned with our receivers and the flu bug hitting the team.

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

I certainly agree with the sentiment...

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

He has said stuff like this earlier this season. I like the intensity, now it's time to back it up.

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

this is the part of what he said that was the most meaningful...

"Missing the two games against them isn't what I'm hungry about," said Lloyd. "It's the time that I did play and gave wins away, that's what makes me hungry."

Asked what it will take to win, he replied: "It's going to take us to be fundamentally sound and to not give up big plays. We have to make these guys a one-dimensional offence, which will be a tough task. But the other thing is we have to come out and be physical, for 60 minutes."

and I like Freddie's attitude about the awards...

"To be honest, I don't pay attention to it. I still think Ricky(Ray)is the best quarterback in the league. When football stops on Nov. 29, that's when you look back on all that stuff. Right now, it's all about the playoffs."

Lloyd and his other outspoken 'mates would be wise to shut up and say nothing. Let the Stamps keep looking toward Regina the following Sunday and stop reminding them that the Esks are coming to town this Sunday.

Not to bothered bout mo, he usually backs up his words!!!

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

Good for him, and I dispute his words were the first in the war of words. Calgary has already been talking about playing Saskatchewan.

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

I generally get an automatic hate on for guys when they leave The Riders... but I can't help but still like Mo Lloyd. He's a guy I'd welcome back next year if that's how things played out. (Maybe not at what The Esks are paying him but still... )

Re: Mo's got his game face on early!

I would've normally been a little less pleased about doing the talking in the media, but as pointed out by Turftoe, there is a big difference in Mo's M.O. compared to, oh let's say Burris.

Burris talks about, Hey I wasn't playing that game and things would've been different. Mo talks about the games he was in and is drawing motivation from those.

Also influencing me was reading some of KP's stuff on celebrations and the "you gotta be you" philosophy. Mo has stayed pretty authentic to himself. We knew what we were getting when we signed him and I'd rather he be that person and that player than trying to change overnight and be something that he's not.

This is football not a backgammon tournament.....if trash talking gets them in game form then let it rip!
