Argonauts QB Allen calls it quits

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto Argonauts quarterback Damon Allen announced his retirement on Wednesday after 23 seasons in the Canadian Football League.

Allen is professional football's all-time leading passer with 72,831 yards, more than 11,000 yards ahead of NFL all-time passing leader Dan Marino.

Allen's 11,914 rushing yards place him third on the CFL's the all-time rushing list and just 329 yards behind his brother, Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen's career rushing total.

The 44-year-old Damon Allen is one of the most accomplished players in CFL history, holding all-time regular season records for passing touchdowns (394), pass attempts (9,138), pass completions (5,158) and longest pass completion at 109 yards.

In addition, Allen ends his career with four Grey Cup championships, two Grey Cup MVPs and one CFL Most Outstanding Player Award. Allen played for six different teams over his career, including Edmonton, Ottawa, Hamilton, Memphis, B.C. and Toronto.

"The game of football has given me every emotion a person can feel," Allen said. "It has been a dream ride. I have given football my mind, body and soul. When it is all said and done, I have met some incredible people. I want to thank the fans across the Canadian Football League for supporting me, the players in the CFL for challenging me to be the best, and the incredible coaches in our league that continue to teach the game."
Allen also produced an impressive collegiate career at Cal State Fullerton, setting seven single-season records in his senior year with the Titans. He was named a First-Team Pacific Coast Athletic Association All-Star and was a First-Team All-Conference selection in 1984, leading the team to back-to-back PCAA championships. Allen broke a 26-year old NCAA record with only three interceptions in over 300 attempts, finishing 16th in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1984.

hang around...the bar needs to be raised another couple of notches around here
sec

Don't run off so quick OH.

Hey, Over-Head. Good to see you around.

Remember folks, Over-head is Canadian Raider Fan. When you tell him to stay, he'll run away just because there ain't no room for common sense in a Canuckistan raiderfans gourd. They are the definition of 'bizarro world' so Ix-nay on the ood-gay ishes-way.

Stay away from here, you danged old Canadian. We don't want yer kind around here, hanging out and shooting the breeze. Don't come back! Don't pull up a chair and sit a spell! Don't take your shoes off. No, really, that smells like saurkraut put your shoes back on PUT YOUR SHOES BACK ON!

Seriously...LTNS. Hope things are going well for yez.

Why dude? the guy that pissed you off has banished himself in shame. come back bitch, you're missed!

Who pissed him off?

I've been informed by the source that my information is not entirely accurate. sorry.

Just wondering what his yardage is compared to Moon or Flutie.

Dude, you're back

So, what do you think about Mcfadden? and especially his momma?

Isn't Canadian football kind of like bowling the "Amish Way"?...Maybe he has more yards, but he had 10 extra yards every drive

OH is good people. You should come around more...

I could be mistaken, but I believe it was a general frustration from the threads trying to ban duhnise a while back. This appears to be the parting post:

The old man is confused. :p

ROFL...it's tough to keep things like that straight for an old guy. :p

Welcome back, Mr. Over-Head.

To point, however, I wonder why Allen never played in the NFL?

Hmm..lets see...A 44 year old qb..I know one team that would Love to have him

Honestly, over the years there have been some really bad quarterbacks in the league. One would think that this guy would be superior to at least a few of them. 72 thousand is a big, honkin' lot of yards, after all.

Stevie Ray? Well shit

OH good to see you. No go to the shed for a big one :bong:
