"Conte Cuttino - Signed as a free agent on September 14, 2010" - The announcement Conte knew would eventually come. The announcement he's dreamed of since he was 7 years old. September 14th is the beginning of his dream come true!
Penning a deal with the Hamilton Tiger Cats today, Conte officially begins his professional football career. He is "excited to be in Canada," and "sees a long and prosperous career up in Hamilton." His goals are "set in making an immediate, positive, and long standing impact in the Canadian Football League;" and we have no doubts that he will do just that!
Here are several links to Canadian media outlets who reported on Conte's first day:

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of quality players in the CFL..many have gone onto the NFL. Work hard and you may get some good reps sooner rather than later 'cuz our number one runningback is having a tough season.
