Redirected
Once again our life is redirected. Tuff was released from Edmonton Eskimos Tuesday, October 11th. He was told he would be traded to Saskatchewan. However the deal was not made so Hamilton, Ontario took interest. They have yet to get back to us with contract details. At this point there are only three games left in the season. So if any transactions take place we will keep you posted. For now, Tuff is back in Pittsburgh as of today.

From Tuff's 1st CFL Game
I got a chance to travel to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for Tuff's first CFL game a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures from that September 16th game:

I took these from the stadium in Hamilton.
Tuff is #26 in case you can't tell under all that hair.
Tuff got to stay two days after his game and fly back Sunday. Of course we dropped by Niagara Falls since it was in the area.
We also checked out eight wineries on the Niagara Escarpment. Last year we went to Niagara Falls in September and visited four wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Who would have thought we'd be back so soon?
Something we learned on this years trip is that Ontario is full of orchards; peaches, apples, pears. Its wonderful. There are places all over where you can pick your own fruit. They give you a stool and off you go! So much fun.
Tuff still remains on practice squad with no known date for a return to active roster. Tomorrow the Eskimos play in Canada's Thanksgiving day game. I never knew Canada had Thanksgiving. So much to learn!
Here is a fun article submitted a few days ago on Tuff:
