Per @JDunk12: Esks, Riders talking trade. EDM wants No. 1 pick Josiah St. John AND a first for QB James Franklin. SSK, coherently, declined.

Ed Hervey vs. Chris Jones is going to be a real thing to keep your eye on over the coming weeks and months.

To reach for two first round picks, including No. 1 overall, in return for a back-up QB with a handful of pro starts is... hilarious, really

My first thought was that Sask comes away as winner in this trade... but I didn't realize Gaydosh's injury situation was so bad... apparently he may never play again...

Just like the Willy trade, it's nice to get Caps salary away to someone else. I think he was signed for a few years. Not worth it imo.

its trade deadline today, though its not really a big event in the CFL, i hope Walters is on a look for a DE

Eskimos fined $20,000, HC Jason Maas fined $15,000 for not wearing mics last weekend. Suspensions loom if it happens again.

Good.

Wish they'd drop the mic'd up thing. Gets a bit annoying watching the game.

I don't mind it. Just wish they would do it with players who have a personality and won't give plays away by speaking. 

As much as i hate the mic'd up games, you can't just refuse to wear them. Fine seems about right to me.

Good thing it's against Calgary or I'd be upset with this.  Gotta get that 1st or 2nd overall!

That's a real change from what we heard a few weeks ago. Sounded like it was Willy's team until the end of the year.

.....Will it matter....Ricky will have the same receivers to throw to as Willy....that would be a suspect bunch....If he does start ...what happened to the statement by the argos, that Willy will be their man for the rest of the year???

They had him start for them?

Sorry guys I'm not aware. But in the past fews days ive noticed you guys mentioning about obtaining a few 1st and 2nd round picks. Was there stipulations in that trade? Is there some type of performance thing associated with the willy trade??

Perfect set-up for him with no one to throw to. Good thing he can run.

Montreal hung a good licking on us last time, I'm sure we will be looking to return the favor

That settles it, taking the Rider D in CFL Fantasty this week.

There have been some shocking upsets this year in the CFL, so don't think its a gimme. The Als have expelled Carter in a sort of team bowel movement, so that will be a great improvement right there and may inspire a victory.

I hope we hammer them mercilessly. We have sucked and been given no favors. That's how it goes in sports. Not our job now to feel sorry for them. Pound them

You guys can kick the **** outta all the teams you want the rest of this year, so long as you go back to being a giant smelly turd that's the laughing stock of the entire league next spring/summer/fall....

All I care about is that you guys finish ahead of Toronto.

That's not really what we have planned for next year.  But you never know how things will turn out

Since it is apparent that the Argos won't win a game, it would be much appreciated if you let up on the hapless Als this week

That's probably not what you had planned this year either!
