Hey, We Know That Guy!

 From a story posted by Pat Feinberg on the CFL website HERE:



This is what the author wrote about the 2017 Dartmouth product, who was the Ivy League's defensive player of the year as a senior:

One of the biggest acquisitions of the off-season gets top honours as the Stamps brought in Orimolade from Toronto in exchange for linebacker Cameron Judge in January. Now back where his CFL career began in 2018, Orimolade will be a focal point in a Calgary defence looking for a big bounce back after missing the playoffs last season.

In two seasons and 29 appearances with the Argos, Orimolade recorded 16 sacks, 53 defensive tackles three forced fumbles, and one interception. Last year also saw the 29-year-old Orimolade finish second in Pro Football Focus’s player grades for edge defenders. With his combination of speed and power, Orimolade looks poised for another outstanding season in his return to the red and white.

The story includes this video of Flo chasing down a quarterback and forcing a fumble:

While most of Dartmouth's grad transfers have found their new homes for next fall, wide receiver Painter Richards-Baker is still fielding offers. Here's the latest:


Richards-Baker, a deep threat whose career in a Dartmouth uniform was slowed by injury, also reported over the past several months offers from Maine, UT Martin, The Citadel, Murray State, West Georgia and Wagner.

EXTRA POINT

Mrs. BGA and I took the advice of the "Top Critics" on Rotten Tomatoes who unanimously praised a "low-budget" movie and checked it out at the Nugget Theater in Hanover yesterday. What we should have done is taken the advice of an amateur critic on the site who wrote this after giving the flick half a star:

Good lord. How did this movie garner 100% critic rating (as of this writing) from 57 critics? Terrible. Slow. Boring. Sometimes very hard to understand soft-spoken, mumbled dialogue. So little character development. ... The trailer (which I had seen a couple times) looked promising, then I saw 100% on RT. So I was expecting to enjoy it. But this was the WORST movie I've seen in years. I can't imagine anyone thinking that this should have been made. Horrid.

I'm not going to mention the name of the move (email me if you are curious) but it was particularly timely, and maybe you can figure out what it's about in the first sentence of another amateur reviewer who called it a "snooze fest."
