3 Down Nation, which covers the Canadian Football League, had a piece earlier this week headlined The CFL’s highest-paid defensive linemen in 2026 that has former Dartmouth linebacker Flo Orimolade '17 slotted fifth in the league. From the story (LINK):
5) Folarin Orimolade, Calgary Stampeders (A)
Hard money: $221, 500
Maximum value: $227,500
The two-time Grey Cup champion got a $75,000 signing bonus to agree to a new deal with the Stampeders in January. The 30-year-old native of Washington, D.C. will also collect $106,500 in salary, $20,000 in marketing, $15,000 in housing, $4,000 in travel, and $1,000 in training in 2026, plus up to $6,000 in awards incentives
The "A" after his name indicates he's an American player. Also from the story:
“Hard money” is a CFL term that refers to any portion of a contract that is paid even if a player is hurt. This includes base salary, signing bonuses, roster bonuses, housing allowances, travel allowances, and training allowances. Marketing money, which is officially called “non-football-related services,” isn’t always guaranteed, though we’ve decided to include it in hard money for this series.

With the first Calgary preseason game nine days away and the regular season beginning June 5, the CFL official website as a post headlined 5 Things To Know For 2026: Calgary Stampeders that includes this as one of the five (LINK):
Defensive end Folarin Orimolade (30 sacks and 124 tackles in 78 career games) suffered an Achilles injury last September and it is unclear as to whether he’ll be ready for the opening of training camp, and if not, how much game action he’ll have to miss to start the season.

If you ever heard the story, you may have wondered if the supposed benefit to kids growing up in Wheelock, Vt., was true. Your answer showed up on the WCAX -TV news. Spoiler alert: Yes, it's true.
Back when he was a puppy, Griff the Wonder Dog and I came around a bend where the Appalachian Trail ran behind our house on the shoulder of Moose Mountain and found ourselves in a staring contest with a black bear. It probably took only a couple of seconds but felt like a couple of minutes before the bear decided it had seen enough and scurried deeper into the woods.
