Season Preview: Eskimos
The Edmonton Eskimos have another new head coach in Kavis Reed and although I am sure he has high hopes for his squad this year they are just too over matched in the west. I won’t completely rule them out of making a cross over appearance in the play offs. But they just don’t have [...]

Dario down for the count in E town
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: A towel hung over Dario Romero’s head, but it couldn’t hide the tears. Romero’s Edmonton Eskimos defensive linemate, Kai Ellis, came over and wrapped his arms around him. Romero’s massive chest only heaved more, fresh tears wetting an already soaked towel. On the last play of Saturday’s 23-30 loss to the Saskatchewan [...]

Riders 23 Edmonton 20
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: Slotback Jason Clermont’s contribution to the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ 23-20 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday didn’t appear on the scoresheet.

Esks move on from incident at practice
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: The Edmonton Eskimos are sweeping the shovel incident from Thursday’s practice under the rug. Burying the hatchet, as it were. Practice roster defensive lineman Xzavie Jackson and starting centre Aaron Fiacconi both apologized to their Eskimos teammates for the altercation. Jackson, in a fit of rage after Fiacconi popped him in the [...]

Esk anticipated Morgan’s gamble
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: It’s often all about risk and reward in professional sports. Sometimes the gamble pays off, sometimes it smacks you up the side of the head, as it did to Omarr Morgan and the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday afternoon. Morgan, who earlier had returned a fumble recovery 108 yards for a touchdown that [...]

Edmonton: Ray can’t escape critical eyes
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: The Edmonton Eskimos’ dramatic 31-27 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday settled nothing in the CFL’s wild West Division, surely not the tender stomachs of any faint-hearted fans. Now 6-5 on the season and locked in a three-way, first-place tie with Saskatchewan and the Calgary Stampeders, head coach Richie Hall’s comeback [...]

Kitwana Jones wants to make the Esks pay for cutting him
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: Kitwana Jones tackled the issue of his release by the Eskimos just like he did the purse snatcher he brought down in the streets of downtown Edmonton in July–head on. “I want to beat them very badly. Words can’t describe how bad I want to beat them,” Jones said of facing his [...]

McCarty, out with a hamstring injury sustained on Aug. 13, is expected to be in the lineup for Sunday afternoon’s venture into Mosaic Stadium in Regina as [...]
