I havnt watched an Eskimos game since Higgins was canned. I really feel that the Organization backdoored him and Maccocia was the key factor behind it. I really dont like Maccocia and I really dont think this team will go anywhere with him at the helm, his reign with this team will be known as the dark ages for this franchise. Ill be surprised if we make the post season this up coming season.
I have watched 2 games since Danny took over. The grey cup in 05 and wome Riders game last season. I have boycotted this team since the dumbass took over.

Give the coach the boot. He is the most worthless person to ever hold the title of coach with any CFL team in history. So what he has one cup under him, he didn't earn it the team did. He is a waste of money and makes far too many poor choices. To me he is the Craig Simpson of football (except he has a higher title and has never played the sport to that caliber)
(No I am not bitter at all when it comes to football)

I too dislike Macciocia. The only thing that I like about him is when a local sports talk raido host here in calgary makes fun of him by imitating his voice as Rick Moranis' character from Ghost Busters.
Funny shit.

Report: Gaylor expected at Eskimos camp TSN.ca Staff 3/27/2007 12:04:39 PM It appears Trevor Gaylor is ready to make a new start in Edmonton. According to the Edmonton Sun, the Eskimos receiver will be at training camp in June. After a successful rookie campaign in which he racked up 929 receiving yards, Gaylor found himself on the bench for half the season last year as his relationship with head coach Danny Maciocia deteriorated. But it seems both sides are ready to turn the page. "We can't live in the past," Maciocia told the Sun. "We had an opportunity to sit down during the off-season. He clearly re-committed himself to the Edmonton Eskimos and I think we're going to see the Trevor Gaylor of 2005." After airing his displeasure with the media last season, it appears Gaylor has seen the error in his ways and is ready to make amends this year. "I think after all of the turmoil last year things were kind of ugly for everybody, and I took the ugly route out myself," Gaylor told the newspaper. "I re-evaluated ... it seems real promising for my future here. So I definitely would want to come back, and to be an Eskimo." www.tsn.ca/cfl/news_story/?ID=201761&hubname=cfl
