From sleeping under your desk as a Raider to the top of your profession. You are truly “captain comeback”!

Good luck Friday and your road to a National Championship!
CFL rule changes can become a “slippery slope” that could hurt the game forever! The CFL’s greatest Wally B. said “be careful with rule changes, we already have a pretty good game”! Any change directly and / or indirectly changes the game! Might also check with these 3 guys!
Bud- Thank you for teaching me what is most important in life and what “leadership” truly looks like. My condolences to Mike and the rest of your incredible family! You will live forever through the lives you have touched. I love you.
Over my 2 years as HC there was no game more special than beating Dallas on Mike Ditka Night with Josh at QB. Josh showed America what he was all about.
Congratulations to the Argo’s ownership, coaches, players and support staff. It took all of you!

To a well coached team that got better each week, stayed together, and finished “together!” It will always be a 57+3 game!
Congratulations to Ricky and Chip! Great husband’s, father’s, and teammate’s! Oh, and yes, great players as well!
@CFL_News
They are so deserving of this incredible honor. Very proud!
Respectfully Mr. Ambrosie- rules, hashmarks, ratio is your distraction. Let’s focus on the “long hard road” to grow fan base.

There is no CFL w/o a R-Ray “dime” corner to the wide side. Btw, using this player response is arguably “reckless”!
Had the opportunity yesterday to
enjoy one of the most organized, disciplined, and energy filled practices at any level.

To one of the most beautiful human beings I have had the privilege to coach. There was never a day he didn’t put a smile on our faces. Loved by everyone in the locker-room. A true champion on and off the field. Condolences to his entire family.
We’re saddened to learn of the passing of former Alouettes running back Dahrran Diedrick.
Our deepest condolences go out to Dahrran’s family, friends and former teammates:

How many times over the years did I leave a production meeting with a smile on my face. His depth of intelligence displayed through simplicity, humility, and sense of humor. A life lesson each time!

@AtlantaFalcons
Whether you are in the football business or “widget” buisness listen to the wise words of Coach Pees! Ultimate leader! His words matter!
I am heart-broken and stunned to hear we have lost not only one of the most innovative coaches of our time, but one of the most interesting, unique, and eclectic. His life touched many in so many different ways.
While in Orlando to speak, had a chance to watch the 76ers win their 4th straight. Led by my friend and the NBA’s best coach! By the way, watching Embid in person- amazing!
Watched tape of GB offense from yesterday. No doubt, the most compelling & jaw-dropping performance of the weekend including brilliant performance by C.J. Stroud. Elite arm talent, courage under pressure, extending plays off platform, off balance, awkward arm angles. WOW!
My friend Hank passed today at 82. Nobody more authentic, genuine, prepared, or harder working at his profession. Doing a South Florida radio show in 1992 was a joy and privilege, resulting in a 30 year friendship and a lot of laughs. Congrats Hammer, a life well lived!

I wrote this article in September. To watch CJ and the journey he has traveled is a credit to his coaches and teammates- but to watch him play
yesterday for even a casual fan
Was simply a breathtaking experience for any lover of the game!
This young man can play! The key is can he sustain his level of play and handle the noise and play-off pressure that will surround him over the next month? We should all be rooting for Mr. Irrelevant,
There is nobody who loved and respected the game more than this man. He was always there to give me sound advice and sincere and heartfelt encouragement! The definition of “legend”.
Tom Moore was my first coach. One of the most brilliant and truly special people that we cross paths with over a lifetime. He has been
@TonyDungy
a mentor to many. He should be the 1st NFL assistant to be inducted into the Hall of Fame! Congrats coach- more lives to touch!

@ACPage_77
! Never had courage to stop him while he was on his routine run around Lake of the Isles.
In football and today’s interconnected world everyone must learn to lead regardless of their role. This is a lesson for all of us. Most importantly what “love” looks like in the locker-room!
This man is all over it!
@McIlroyRory
understands it’s all about “competition”. Derived from the Latin word “competere”, meaning striving “TOGETHER”! When everyone is at their best, the “best” is brought out in all of us!

A must read: The Second Mountain
I don’t know the author David Brooks and I haven’t yet read his other book, but this book could be a “Top 5” life-changing read.
At worst, go to the bookstore and read the intro. If you connect, read the book, then read it again!
