Derham Cato '05 landed on his feet. Let go in the last wave of cuts for the Toronto Argonauts, he is one of six players now on the CFL team's practice squad. He's the lone defensive lineman, so the thought here is he's likly a hamstring or high ankle sprain away from getting his big break after working long and hard for the opportunity. ...
A little farther west in the CFL, this story notes that the Calgary Stampeders' No. 1 draft pick , Justin Phillips, will back up starter Anthony Gargiulo '06 at one of the defensive end positions. ...
Our local daily had a story about Dartmouth assistant JJ Jackson managing to play Arena League2 football for the Manchester Wolves while still keeping up with his duties for the Big Green. Jackson: “If I'm not blocking, I can't get on them for not blocking.”
And finally, last night we had our breakup parent-player baseball game and cookout for the Little League team I co-coached again this year. We made it to the Connecticut Valley Little League semifinals last week, which was quite an accomplishment after "graduating" our two top pitchers and starting catcher (who happens to live in our house ;). It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun coaching a team, for once, without one of my kids on it! In what was a difficult spring personally, it was helpful to be around smiling kids having fun and enjoying a game that has always been very special in our family.
