He's 64. Going back & forth between Toronto & Dallas the next 6 months every weekend probably doesn't have as much appeal as it used to. He also is having more issues related to the concussions he suffered as a player. Not surprising but still I'm sad to see him go. I think LaPo replaces him on the panel.

Oh no, now how will I get my near daily Pizza Hotline, Remax, Lawn Care, and Canadian Tire flyers? My recycling bin will feel so empty

Wow I feel old... 25 years on TSN and I can still vividly remember him as a player. Losing him is definitely the biggest hit on an already iffy panel. I would cut Kate, Milt, Barker, Muamba and find anyone with a slight bit of personality plus football knowledge. Once BLM retires from playing he'd make a good addition. He was far more engaging then the few times they had a doofus like Henry Burris on air. As much as everyone hates Suitor, he is good when calling a non Riders game. The newer PBP guys are both doing better as time goes on and outside of Marshall having an accent on a few words he's really good. Sanchez comes off unlikeable but his football knowledge that he provides is light years better then Milt who states the obvious and offers very little insight. I'm hoping that LaPolice is on tv far more if Matty is really gone.

Triple lutz with the king of putz

Don't threaten me with a good time...

Hence why my comment on ,the Frikkin inconsistent calls......A frikkin crap show . Bettman has these guys well paid ......**** ,now i sound like Goalie.

TSN would be lucky to add one of, if not the best QB's to ever step on a CFL field! 🤣

Leafs at least trying to win tonight....so that's a plus...

100%. Two killers. Elsbury is very similar to Devin adams last year. Insane size and athleticism combo. Raw, but might be worth polishing. A centre with that kind of athleticism would be crazy. Keim and Webb could steal a spot this year. Massive stir up for early camp. I feel like this is a two fold move, 1, Lofton has been banged up and we don’t want a default of Randolph at rt, and 2 the ol as a whole and the fresh imp batch has under performed expectations. From what I’ve seen, the dl has had a big advantage in play so far. Honestly I expected the ol to have the advantage.

The massive difference between the two situations is Scheifele’s hit was a hockey play…. Benn’s sucker punch absolutely wasn’t.

Keim and Webb have “late camp addition because they are legit NFL hopefuls” written all over them

Those were new refs also they said. Like they didn’t do the previous games. They did an eastern series. 2 different rule books for sure at times.

All imports cut and signed. Elsbury, 6’5 305. C/G, was basically the 6th ol, but played a good bit. Exceptional athleticism, 9.84/10 relative athletic score from his pro day. Would’ve been the top interior ol athlete in the nfl combine, exceptional 10 yard time. https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/football/roster/player/tyler-elsbury Keim is 6’9 322 RT, very good athlete, not elite like elsbury but incredible size and length. https://byucougars.com/sports/football/roster/player/brayden-keim phillip Webb 6’5 265. Tremendous athleticism and 2 way edge. Blue chip prospect for sure https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Phillip-Webb-LB-LSU https://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/2025_nfl_draft_profile_phillip_webb_edge_jackson_state/s1_17135_41926912

He's leaving to do figure skating with Rod Black...

Dallas should have had the extra two on that one, no question.

IMO ,amounts to kinda the same thing. Sheif could have pulled up there . But thats another nag that been flogged enough. Yes, What Benn did wasnt necessary ,but its the frikkin playoffs. Call **** consistent ,or not. at all. Refs have been absolute FECAL MATTER ,on occasion.

Benn's sucker was bush league. That guy is such a putz.

Especially not her.

Added: OL Tyler Elsbury, OL Bryaden Keim, DL Phillip Webb Released: OL Matt Kickel, OL Chris Walker Meanwhile KR/RB Peyton Logan is added to 1-Game IR

Not even Mrs Barker?

100%

That’s honestly cleaner than benn sucker punching a guy.

I hope this means more Jim Barker, said nobody ever.

If they cut lapo, I’m not listening to tsn this season. Hate that they let matty go.

brutal. I hope this was Matty's choice and not some TSN bullshit. Only bright side to this is that maybe we'll get more Lapo in the booth this year. You want to talk about an org that coddles over-the-hill veterans, look at how TSN hangs onto Glenn Suitor... And Barker has a voice that's fit for newspaper work.
