Yeah like I said Jim Barker is a strange guy, if not for Higgins and Co he would have ruined this thing here as well.

I seen him at a gas station here once and he didn't know how to use pay at the pump lol.

That's a shock. He's probably had all 7 other teams contact him by now. Calgary should really look at him for their feature back.

I'd love to see a Sheets/Boyd one-two punch, never gonna happen but that would be awesome.

I bet he'll be a Bomber by the time the games get going

Bombers have the biggest need but there's no guarantee he will sign there.

Why not trade him instead of releasing him? Would have to think he would have interest around the league?

LaPolice says he is not interested in but will consult with Joe Mack regarding Boyd.

Kavis Reed says the Esks will look into Boyd but are very happy with Charles.

Shocked to hear the release of Cory Boyd. It's gotta be something really serious reason to release the top running back in the CFL right now. Just heard on TSN that Edmonton Eskimos just signed Boyd today. Really strange.

Milanovich said on the radio in Toronto this afternoon that they did try to trade, no takers. Harsh business, no one will trade so they lost him for nothing.

Well I called them needing him but didn't give Tillman credit enough to do the right thing and sign him, so maybe half credit for that.

I assume the Ricky Ray trade is now complete.

Hopefully whatever disruption he was causing in TO can find its way into the Esks locker room and put more egg on Tillman's face, as the chemistry they've built to this point gets obliterated.

I'm shocked, Khalif Mitchell has lost his two game CFL suspension appeal. He will now have to serve his two games for his garbage.

I was going to ask what the heck happen to Mitchell's 2 games suspension. When a player lose an appeal, they should add an extra game or two on the suspension. That way we can avoid this BS where you already know you are guilty but appeal so he can play until the league decides on the appeal.

I can't decide if Elliot is good or if receivers are just working harder for him.

On the other hand, the Ticats defense is borderline atrocious.

And if the Ticats could hang onto the ball the game is likely over by now

That is the first fumble that Winnipeg has really deserved to get. Turnovers killing the ticats

Jyles and the Eskimos are being exposed for the average team they are.
