2012 CFL regular season/playoffs thread

Leo's take the Brady-bowl in a sloppy, and somewhat nasty game.
BC defense played well, but with the offensive weapons we have, I kind of expect 40 points every game.

kind of a sparse crowd ... Toronto is hosting the Grey Cup this year, aren't they?
you'd think they would try to build a bit of buzz.....

I'm sure the Grey Cup game will be a sellout (if it isn't already), but the majority of Toronto football fans don't give a rat's ass about the Argos.

/The Bills, on the other hand...

to be fair (reported), the Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos chant does sound much better when the stadium is near empty

if the Grey Cup is not sold out in Toronto, Riders fans are not doing their job

Stamps with a big road win in Hamilton tonight 31-20. Cornish bounces back in a big way with 170 yards rushing (a CFL career high)

I hear the honey badger is looking for a new team - perhaps the CFL is his ticket

/marketing play ... they need all the help they can get putting butts in seats

I'll have to do some research, but I didn't think you could challenge in the CFL in order for the ref to review whether or not a QB crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing a forward pass (it was a successful challenge by Esks coach Kavis Reed).

Eskies won 28-20 over the Roughriders, by the way.

Argos release RB Cory Boyd.
He currently leads the CFL with 447 yards.

Something tells me Cory and the head coach didn't see eye-to-eye...With the Argos coming to Calgary this week, I don't mind this move.

That didn't take long, the Eskimos have signed Cory Boyd.

Rob Murphy would take the cfl panel on tsn to a "whole nuvah level" lol

ROB MURPHY ‏@BIGMURPH56
My thoughts on Cory Boyd? He was a fraud who fooled the media for 2yrs Good player when healthy but not a good teammate Media just ate it up

Chris Cuthbert ‏@CCtsn
Confused by #Esks signing of Boyd. Charles has been excellent. Couldn't afford Ray but now have 2 starting RBs + still cud get Messam back.


good point... they already had a top 5 RB.
there's only one ball to carry.
