It raises an interesting point. I wonder if the powers at be at CFL.com would consider adding a new feature to the website, something to keep us occupied over the long offseason, on "where are they now?"
We could submit names, and then they could check it out and give us the word on the current status of former players we are interested in.
Might be interesting.....certainly beats some of the other nonsense going on around here during this offseason.....
I’m backing you up, Jman.
If Nealon doesn’t break his leg, he likely is still playing somewhere.
It does seem to be a bit of a mystery as to where he is these days.
In a related story, me and some friends had a fairly uneventful Superbowl party planned in 2005 until I brought out the party favors which was a hat full of phone numbers of former NFL all-stars and flops. Well we figured we couldn’t go bothering them all so we decided to pick one and called up Brain Bosworth. After we explained, he was talking football and shooting the bleep with us. Overall I’d say he was nice and wasn’t even weirded out by the call from strangers. He thanked us for calling in fact. You’d be amazed at who is listed publicly.
Good riddance to the happy feet, all the over throws, mis- reads, and telegraphing his passes into double coverage....yup.....he might as well have been throwing hand grenades instead of footballs.........GO RIDERS
Nealon was, is and will always be my favorite QB as well. He was the most dynamic QB I have ever watched and will always miss him greatly. The years he was here were the most exciting games I've ever watched. With Nealon, we always had a chance to win. We never got blown out and the game was always exciting. When we did lose it was always close, usually by a single score or less. Will never forgot the Hamilton overtime loss
Last I heard of him since being cut by the Als he returned to Clemson and was taking university classes. When TO lacked a QB last year with everyone injured leading to their terrible start, Pinball was trying to track him down for the Argos but Nealon refused. Pretty sure Nealon is retired for good now. But you never know, maybe he'll decide to come back if he gets another offer in the future after he's done his classes. I mean look how long Allen stayed as a starter and recovered from broken legs and whatever else. for now we can only dream of the return of Nealon someday if he stays in shape
