Anthony Calvillo, QB of the Montreal Alouettes
Departing from this eventful NFL off-season for once, let’s share a bit of CFL-related news here. Hey, we’re the “Pro Football” Bros after all… :)
Last Saturday, Montreal’s fabulous QB Anthony Calvillo tied the CFL all-time touchdown record. That record was originally held alone by now-retired Damon Allen with 394 scores.
While CFL rules and field dimensions certainly favor pass production and TDs, to fully appreciate the accomplishment it is worth noting only Marino and Favre in the NFL have thrown for more, and only 5 QBs in NFL history have passed for 300 or more TDs in their careers (Elway, Tarkenton, Manning, Marino and Favre). Considering that Calvillo is coming off two consecutive championship seasons (Go Als!!!), there is nothing preventing him from breaking this record and more.

ok that’s it, i’m turned on with the CFL.
let me know next time the Saskatchewan Roughriders play host to my beloved Ottawa franchise.
I know the Als are the reigning champs but I’m still praying for a Grey Cup upset this year.
