    Former Alouette Proudfoot loses battle with ALS (CFL)

    I read about Tony a few months ago - and the article then said there seems to be a higher rate of ALS and other brain 'diseases' among football players because of the impact the head takes.

    RIP Tony. You made a difference!

    Wow.. What a fine man, and what a life he lived, making so much difference to so many people.

    God be with you, Tony Proudfoot. Rest in peace.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
