Bo Levi Mitchell just gave the pot a big old stir.
With a game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders coming up on Sunday – in Regina, no less – the Calgary quarterback took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to antagonize Rider fans with a little good-natured chirping.

Mitchell and the Riders have something of a history.
Last summer, Mitchell used social media to accuse the Green and White of cheating, something that got the fan base more than a little riled up. Of course, the subsequent CFL investigation proved Mitchell to be correct, though he was also fined by the league for… well, for being right.
Rider fans – who don’t really need encouraging, it should be said – responded with both barrels. A sampling, led by Rider offensive lineman and former BLM teammate Derek Dennis:
