My brother, the future pro footballer.
So some of you may know from my facebook status, but this morning my brother was drafted 8th pick overall in the first round to the Calgary Stampeders (CFL). He still has a year left of university level football, before he can join the team, and that is assuming he doesn't make any NFL team, but I am very very proud of him, and just wanted to share with everyone.


Here is the article from the Stampeders website:

Great news! I`ll keep my fingers crossed for him. No matter what happens , just be there for him . It`s a very pivotal time in his life. It`s a very cruel business, especially, to egos.

That is awesome news

With you living in Calgary it would be nice if he was with the CFL so you could see more of his games. Of course the NFL would be totally great too!

Well I live across from the stadium, I can hear the games from my house when they are playing, so if he plays for them, and I am still in Calgary I will definitely be going to the games.
