Wow. I planned on watching the whole Cards/Giants game last night, but then turned to TSN. I have been very entertained with the features on the CFL as of late. The Engraved On A Nation segments have been really informative, and I think will open a lot of people's eyes to the CFL.
I ended up watching the whole feature on Anthony Calvillo. His personal struggles had me tearing up for most of it. To see someone overcome all these possible setbacks is incredible.
I have always said that AC is boring, but gets the job done, so I have respected that. Now I respect him even more.
Even being a major Roughie fan, I almost want to see him win a couple more Grey Cups. Maybe the famous "too many men" penalty in 2010 had a special meaning. Maybe, even though it is a team game, the somewhat controversial ending happened for one person, who truly deserves a break in life.
Hopefully AC can hang around the game when he's retired, and become as much of an ambassador as Pinball has.
Keep going Anthony. You are an inspiration.
