Double D Responds: November 10, 2009

From Diane Thompson:

Congratulations on your win Saturday to clinch 1st place and also on your well deserved most oustanding player award. I have had faith in you from the beginning and it has been a pleasure watching you develop over the season. Keep up the good work! I will be there cheering for you and all the Roughriders in the playoff game. Another Grey Cup would be wonderful! Thank you for a most entertaining season.

Thank you!

From Jen:

Darian, Words cannot express just how proud the entire Rider Nation is of you and the team. Remember it\'s the **vocal minority that doubted you. We believe.

Thanks Jen!

From Michelle:

Great game Darian! I am a very proud season ticket holder and I am very excited and thrilled at how well you and the team played this year. Has anyone ever called you "Teflon Darian" because you sure seemed to slip right out of that double tackle early in the Calgary game. Keep up the great work. Saskatchewan is very glad to have you and I hope to see you with us for several more years. Michelle in Regina.

Thank you so much for your support. Hopefully I can make Regina home and stay a Rider for years to come.

From Valerie:

No question just want to say that I think DD is an amazing Quarterback and is only going to get better and hope you stick with the Roughriders! I think the skill and leadership you have shown this year with the Roughriders is only going to get stronger! Way to go Double D! Keep up the good work and look forward to watching you play in the West Final and Grey Cup!!!

Thank you Valerie!

Being a professional athlete is one of the best achievements I've had in my life. It's just like chasing anything in life. If you put your mind to it and your heart into it skys the limit.

From Aiden:

Congrats on leading the Riders to 1st place for the first time in my life (I\'m 30) truly amazing can\'t wait until the 22nd and watch you lead the Riders to the Greycup.

Thanks Aiden!

From Elmar:

Good evening. Just a short note to say thank you for a superb year and to say that there a lot more fans who truly appreciate you than those who are, shall I say, short sighted? Regards, Elmar Winkler in Regina

Elmar: Thank you!
