Calvillo Sets Canadian Passing Record For TDs

Anthony Calvillo set the new record for passing TD's in the CFL last night knocking Damon Allen to Number Two on that list...

"You play for a long time for a great team and these things are going to happen," Calvillo said. "I'm going to enjoy the moment."

The answer to the trivia question is: Eric Deslauriers in the back of the end zone 10:11 into the first quarter for his 395th TD pass, one more than Damon Allen threw in 23 seasons. Calvillo is in his 18th year...

Here's the catch... it survived a review...

AC isn't, or correction, shouldn't be done with his record-setting this season...
Allen's marks for completions (5,158) and career passing yards (72,381) are still out there for the taking. Calvillo needed 4,220 to catch Allen going into the season and already has 1,038 in the first three games this season.

He added TD pass 396 later in the game- a 40-17 win over Toronto...

To give you an idea, Brett Favre has the NFL record at 69,329 yards passing. Calvillo should pass that yardage next week.
Favre has 497 TD passes in his career.
Calvillo should overtake Dan Marino's second place of 420 this season.
Favre also has 6,083 completions in a career.
Calvillo will finish comfortably in second place there as well...

BREAKING NEWS: Montreal Wins 97th Grey Cup

Montreal Alouettes kicker Damon Duval nailed his second-chance field goal from 34 yards out as time expired to give the Als a 28-27 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders to win the 97th Grey Cup- the Canadian Football League version of the Super Bowl.

Initially, Duval missed wide from 44 yards out, but the Green Riders were penalized for having too many men on the field.

In the CFL, it's a 10-yarder...

Duval made the mulligan to finish the season 16-3...

And, yes, it's that Damon Duval...

The Als were down 16 points with less than half a quarter to go at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. But a TD pass from Anthony Calvillo to Ben Cahoon brought the Als within two with a little over three minutes left.

They missed the two-point conversion to keep the score at 27-25, and the Als defense made a stand to get the ball back for a game-winning possession.

The Als led only once all day- at the finish...

Here's the game-winning kick and the last five minutes of the game in real time...
