Massam can rot, but welcome home Solomon!!!!
how to make the best defense in the league even better.

Elimimian now has 10 days to sign with another NFL team before his rights revert back to the Lions (6-2), who not only sport the CFL's best record but also the league's top-ranked defence with newcomer Adam Bighill replacing Elimimian at middle linebacker.

I'm hoping another NFL team gives Solomon a chance...

Solomon's agent says there's a good chance he'll sign a practice roster deal with the Vikings...

A Monday CFL game on a non-holiday?!? It will be interesting to see the attendance at Rogers Centre tonight for the Arrrrrrrrgos - Eskimos tilt.

Interesting...

TSNDaveNaylor: QB Vince Young, late of the Bills, has been added to the Montreal Alouettes negotiation list.

It appears as if Toronto sucks at football too, lol.

With 1:30 left in the game and Toronto down by 9 points (thus, they need two scores to win), the Argos gamble on 3rd down with four yards to go rather than attempt a 46 yard field goal. :wacko:

Eskimos win 26-17

Attendance looked to be at least 9500 strong.

TSN is saying 22,912 patrons, I guess that's not too bad considering the Blue Jays were playing the Yankees tonight.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

They actually showed the TSN feed on NBC sports network. Where were the fans?

It sounds like Messam is returning to the Eskimos - That's quite the crowded backfield with Cory Boyd, Hugh Charles, and now Jerome Messam. Maybe the Eskies will run the wishbone.

 

[puckhead]

linebacker Solomon Elimimian is now on the Cleveland Browns practice roster.

good for him, too bad for us.
he's much better than just a practice roster guy.

Als are talkin' smack before the game against the Lions tonight, I should be rooting for Montreal, but I can't stand the Alouettes.

Khalif Mitchell returns ... says he doesnt regret anything he did ... called the attempted arm snap a "football play"

he should go have beers with Raffi Torres
