Report: Chris Jones tells Stamps' Dickenson to 'win with some class'
There's no love lost between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Calgary Stampeders, or their head coaches.
After the Riders fell to their West Division rivals Saturday night, Saskatchewan head coach Chris Jones broke from the postgame ritual of enjoying a friendly handshake with the opposing coach, and instead gave his Calgary counterpart Dave Dickenson an earful.
If you told me this was "Win with some class" and "Holy sh**", I'd believe you. #riders #stamps pic.twitter.com/2JP5LfCyWc

Jones appeared to tell Dickenson something along the lines of "Win with some class," and a source confirmed to Scott Mitchell of the Calgary Herald that's exactly what was said.

Mitchell's report was backed up by TSN's Gary Lawless, who heard from those in the know that Jones told Dickenson, "You need to learn to win with some class."
The Stampeders knocked off the Riders 19-10, days after Saskatchewan was fined for practicing with ineligible players.
