The most interesting man in the CFL

I can’t speak French in Russian nor have I won trophies for my game face alone but otherwise, I’m a little bit like the most interesting man in the world: I don’t always write about the CFL but when I do, I prefer to do so about Anthony Calvillo and the Alouettes.

On July 15, 2011, the Montreal Alouettes’ Anthony Calvillo threw the 395th (and then 396th) touchdown pass of his career, to Éric Deslauriers, in a 40-17 win over the visiting Toronto Argonauts. (Of course the Als beat the Argos.) With that single throw, Calvillo became the most prolific touchdown thrower in CFL history.
