Former Dartmouth linebacker Flo Orimolade and his Calgary Stampeders square off tonight against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a matchup of the CFL's last two undefeated teams. Flo is quoted in a preview of the game HERE. The game will be carried on ESPN+ tonight at 8:30.
And speaking of former Dartmouth players, Drew Estrada gets a brief mention in a story headlined, Houston Texans Training Camp Battles: Wide Receivers on the team's SBNation page HERE.

The Onion has a little fun with its "News in Photos" feature:
Green Alert Take: On occasion The Onion might have you doing a double-take. This isn't one of those times. Now, maybe if they'd said Georgetown was joining the Ivies you might bite, but not this time.
Green Alert Take II: Quick. Whose logo is missing in the graphic?

EXTRA POINT
I hate milkweed.
I hate milkweed.
I totally get that it is important to the monarch butterfly, who the internet says feeds exclusively on milkweed in its caterpillar stage. I've got milkweed at the bottom of my field and to all the monarch butterflies out there I say, have at it.
The problem is I try to keep the rest of my field neatly mowed and those ornery milkweed plants refuse to cooperate. Within a day or two of mowing they are popping up, and in another couple of days they are 3-4-5 inches tall. I don't want to mow my entire field again when that happens so as I walk Griff the Wonder Dog through the field each day I'm leaning down and picking off a dozen or more new sprouts, telling them as a yank 'em out of the ground, "I hate you."
OK, I know that's not nice but if I don't catch them in time they will blossom and eventually milkweed pods with send seeds into the wind and the cycle will start all over again.
Sorry monarchs and others who feed on the stuff. I'm not a fan.
