You won't believe what happened with Brett Lauther eh
Oh, for sure you heard about it, the Riders let Brett Lauther go. I mean, my heart. My actual heart. This is the guy who's been kicking for us since 2018, the guy who's been a staple, a *pillar* of the team, really. And now he's out there, saying he still wants to play, still wants to kick. You just know he's thinking about Taylor Field, about Mosaic Stadium, about those Labour Day Classics where the roar of the crowd almost lifts the roof off, eh? This isn't just a player; this is a Rider. This is Regina. And to see him go, it just… it hits different, you know? It's like seeing a familiar face disappear from your regular coffee spot on Albert Street.
It just feels like a piece of our Rider Nation identity got a little dented. Lauther, he embodies that prairie grit, that quiet determination. And to hear him talk about wanting to keep kicking, even after the Riders made their decision, it just shows you the kind of heart these guys have. He's not just a kicker; he’s part of the fabric, part of why we pack that stadium no matter what the weather’s doing on Wascana Lake. We cheer for these guys because they're *our* guys, and it's tough when one of them gets cut loose. You just hope he finds a place where they appreciate that kind of commitment.
This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.
