40 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday September 13, 2006 www.oakvillebeaver.com Banner recognizes Allen's milestone Continued from page 38 The 20-minute ceremony also saw a banner unveiled that recognizes Allen as pro football's all-time leading passer. "It was the proper celebration, it was the right way to do it for what is maybe the most amazing record in the history of pro football," said coach Michael (Pinball) Clemons, also an Oakville resident. "And when I say that, I'm combining not only what he's accomplished as a passer, but a rusher as well." In addition to throwing for more than 700,000 yards, 1029 Speers Rd. Unit #8, Oakville corner of 4th and Speers (Beside Tim Horton's), Oakville Allen has rushed for more than 12,000. "Looking at all of his career is, I think, spectacular, and hopefully there's lots more to come," said Clemons. While he said it was the right tribute, Clemons admitted the 20-minute pre-game ceremony took the Argos "out of our rhythm a little bit," and it probably affected Allen -- who threw for three interceptions and failed to convert on a touchdown -- the most. "Today was a sloppy football game," Clemons said. Allen added, "It was a game that could have distracted our football team, especially, me. I didn't think it would, but looking back, it probably affected us a little bit. "I think Warren Moon jinxed me a little bit, because he said, `Don't lay an egg out here,'" he continued with a laugh. "I almost did it, I almost laid an egg. But we found away to win. And that, to me, is the most important thing." Late drive for game-winning field goal Down 9-8 in the final two minutes of the game, Allen made the final drive count and led the Argos into field goal range. "As normal, Damon came through in the clutch," said Clemons, who then joked, "I'm going to have to talk to him, he didn't have to go that far. I mean it's already the ninth month and the ninth day of the month and he wears number nine -- he didn't have to make sure that a nine was in the score." The Argos, who have a bye this week, are on a five-game winning streak and are now tied for first in the CFL's Eastern Conference with the Montreal Alouettes. -- Krissie Rutherford can be reached at krutherford@oakvillebeaver.com.
