Absolutely brutal. He was tremendous on the panel, and even better on Colour. Severely weakens an already weak CFL on TSN production.

Can he take Kate with him???

[Stickem]

Going to miss Matty.....I wonder why he's not returning...some other media??? or just retiring .....Kinda comes out of the blue 

[M.O.A.B.]

Tell Trevor Harris there's an immediate opening.

No thanks... He can stay right where he is for the next decade. *Insert Doc Holliday I'm In My Prime Meme*

TSN needs to purge some of their "talent". Looking at Suitor, Kate and Barker.

[johnzo]

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.

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

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.

Keim is 6’9 322 RT, very good athlete, not elite like elsbury but incredible size and length.

phillip Webb 6’5 265. Tremendous athleticism and 2 way edge. Blue chip prospect for sure

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

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.
