2007 Preview: Edmonton Eskimos
Man, we're really glad we don't live in Edmonton. And not just for the usual reasons.
Apparently, twenty new Eskimos are now wandering the city without a home, unable to find an affordable place to stay. While a little depressing, this initially seemed harmless enough - we're not talking about the Roughriders, after all. But then we realized that among the homeless Eskimos is one T.J. Acree.
In the Canadian Press report, T.J. plays a starring role as the loveable husband and father looking to provide for his family. But we recall a slightly different side of him from his days in B.C. - the one who somehow got so plastered inside a sushi bar that police had to subdue him with a taser gun on the way out.
If that's what some raw fish did to him (cue your inappropriate Eskimo joke here), we can only imagine the mischief our man will get into trolling the mean streets of Edmonton.
On a happier note, there's been copious mention through the pre-season of this being the year Danny Maciocia - rewarded for last season's last-place finish with the addition of "director of football operations" to his job description - really puts his stamp on the team. This can only end well...unless you're this guy, in which case it will probably end up with you in prison.
