CFL Is CLF In Gargiulo's World

There's a terrific TSN.ca video interview with Calgary Stampeders' hopeful Anthony Gargiulo available here. It includes both a bit about his ability to alphabetize words instantly as well as some nice comments on how he's doing from the team's defensive coordinator. There are also clips of him in practice. ... Final cuts for the CFL team are Sunday if I'm reading Anthony's blog right. Editor's note: The, ahem, veteran journalist in me has to whisper this, but Anthony is one of the good guys and I'm rooting for him ;-)

Damon Blechen '98 continues to play football -- and play it well -- as a member of the unbeaten Northbay Rattlers minor league team in Northern California. Blechen, listed at 6-3, 250 when he made 40 tackles as a Dartmouth senior, has 17.5 tackles and 3.5 sacks (statistics) for the 8-0 Rattlers, who have outscored their opponents 232-51 this year. The Rattlers are members Golden Coast Football League ("Northern California's Premier AAA Football League) & North American Football League. If I recall correctly, Blechen is following in the footsteps of his father, who was still playing minor league ball when Damon was at Dartmouth.

A jury in Concord, N.H., now has the age discrimination lawsuit former assistant coach Pat O'Leary has brought against Dartmouth head coach Buddy Teevens.

Among those playing in NFL free agent and former Harvard great Isaiah Kacyvenski's golf tournament that honors his mother was former Dartmouth QB Jay Fiedler.
