Als' announcer has Lou Gehrig's disease
MONTREAL (CP) - Former Montreal Alouettes defensive back and current radio broadcaster Tony Proudfoot has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. He made the announcement on Thursday and intends to continue calling Alouettes games. "We have all the confidence that Tony will face this new challenge with courage," said Alouettes CEO Larry Smith. "Tony has been a great teammate and a business partner through football and has become a good friend over the years. I want him to know we are behind him this difficult period." Proudfoot played nine seasons for Montreal during the 1970's before finishing his career with three more for the B.C. Lions. He won two Grey Cup titles. http://slam.canoe.ca:80/Slam/Footbal...297947-cp.html
