Brent Johnson apparently made some 'comments'. I heard BJ on his weekly Connected slot, and it didn't sound to me is was putting it down.
This week its Dave Stalla and Ian Logan trading barbs.
One Riderfan described their matchup as Swaggerville versus Staggerville

IMO, all this stuff is just that stuff. It doesn't matter. IIRC, there was a year in the late eighties (1986-1989) when the Eskimos were on this big kick where all the players had these personalized hand towels hanging off of their uniforms. Ha-ha, look at us. Well their season ended quite badly, in a home Western final that year. Wearing some personalized handtowel doesn't seem so funny when you are getting beat by a team that saved its talking for the field. If you get too much into these 'themes' you start to forget playing football. If the Bombers want 'Swaggerville' to become a big thing, I say Let them. Swaggerville is not going to win them a Grey Cup. Playing together as a well coached team may do so. If 'Swaggerville' helps that process, they'll be smart and keep it to themselves. Kinda like the Eskimo recievers wearing those Jason Tucker tshirts a few seasons back. If it unites you great, if it becomes the story....lookout, IMO. Swaggerville is going to be interesting because the smart football teams won't be saying much about it UNTIL, they knock the Bombers out of the playoffs. IIRC, the Lions secondary was suppossed to have some fancy name this year

On the bright side, doubt the Lions (or their fans) will have to hear much about Swaggerville even if the Bombers earn a date for the Grey Cup. I think it will become a non-story (kinda like my post here) long before then........
