Dunigan will be joined in the Hall this year by a number of former NFL players including Dan Reeves and Eddie Murray. Previous inductees to the Hall include "Mean" Joe Greene, Greg Landry and Marv Levy. He becomes the fourth former CFL great inducted into the Hall, joining Hugh Campbell and George Reed, who were inducted last year and Angelo Mosca who was selected in 2012. Dunigan played in the CFL for 14 seasons with six different teams Edmonton, BC, Toronto, Winnipeg, Birmingham and Hamilton, (guiding 5 of the 6 teams to the play-offs and 4 of them to the Grey Cup.) He won Grey Cups with Edmonton in 1987 and Toronto in 1991. He finished his career with 43,859 passing yards and 3,057 completions in 5,476 attempts (306 TD passes).

He still holds the CFL record for most passing yards in a game. Dunigan threw for an incredible 713 yards with Winnipeg in 1994 in a game against the Eskimos. "Im extremely honoured by this selection," said Dunigan. "Im baffled by it all. Its exceptional company to be in. Those guys are some of the legends that played the game and paved the way for all of us. I look at some of the people who have gone in to the Hall and it gets more and more overwhelming and humbling. Football has a way of humbling a player. "I think its a tremendous opportunity to bridge the CFL and NFL together," added Dunigan. There are so many great players that have competed on the gridiron and the same life lessons are taught on both sides of the border." Dunigan has been equally successful off the field. He has contributed to the community through his involvement with (Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Canadian Association of Community Living, Kids, Cops & Computers - Merry Go Round Childrens Foundation, DEBRA Canada as well as through many other community endeavours. He has also made significant contributions to the study and effects of concussion on athletes with his involvement with ThinkFirst Canada/Parachute. Dunigan has been a Football analyst and commentator for TSN since 1999. "Matt has been an important part of the CFL Alumni Association since our inception," said Leo Ezerins, Executive Director of the CFLAA. "We are particularly grateful for his support on the Canadian Sports Concussion Project." “The Gridiron Greats Assistance Funds Hall of Fame event started six years ago to honour retired players for their fabulous careers on the field, and the equally outstanding deeds off the field,” says Shannon Jordan, President of the Gridiron Greats. “This is a great way for us to honor deserving individuals not just because they were great players but because they have given so much back to the community." The annual Gridiron Greats Hall of Fame dinner and induction will be held on May 16, 2014 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to the CFL Alumni Support Fund. Vans Shoes Clearance .

An offseason trade acquisition from Kansas City, Greinkes National League debut was delayed by a non-baseball injury in the spring, and he was 0-1 after dropping an 8-0 decision at Atlanta in his initial appearance with the Brewers on May 4. http://www.vansshoesclearancesale.com/ . - Andre Drummond had his best night on the boards.BOSTON -- The hot, humid weather in Boston is raising concerns about the ice conditions at TD Garden before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. With temperatures forecasted to reach 33 degrees, Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks players expressed some concern about what it would be like when the puck is dropped Monday night. "Its pretty hot outside, and Im kind of sweating right now," Blackhawks forward Michael Frolik said. "The ice wasnt great, but I guess its same for both teams. Hopefully it get a little bit better tonight." June 24 ties for the latest Cup final game in NHL history, and a potential Game 7 would set a new record. "Everybody has been through it, and two teams are going through the same conditions," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Both teams are going to tell you the same truth: keep the game simple and try and avoid those mistakes from over-handling pucks in those kind of ice conditions." Boston players had slightly better reviews of the ice after their morning skate, which happened before Chicagos. Centre Chris Kelly said if its as good at night -- when the temperature is expected to be 28 degrees -- as it was in the morning, it would not negatively affect play. "It was OK this morning," defenceman Torrey Krug said. "I thought it was obviously betterr early on and the more it gets chewed up it kind of deteriorates. Cheap Vans Shoes. For us were not worried about it. Both teams have to play on the ice. Its something you cant focus on. Youve just got to make sure you take care of the puck." Bruins centre David Krejci called the ice "kind of bumpy." It could get worse as the day goes on. "Its obviously going to be choppy, but its going to be choppy for both teams," Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw said. "I think weve just got to (be smart with) pucks, try not to make those pretty plays in the middle of the ice." The NHL is in charge of maintaining ice conditions during the Cup final, a Bruins spokesman said. A league spokeswoman said ice specialist Dan Craig was not doing interviews during the series. Julien expects the heat in to rise as fans enter TD Garden on Monday night. Those who have attended morning skates at the arena all season observed that the building wasnt as cold as it usually is. Given how much the Blackhawks have excelled with their speed, a choppier surface might be advantageous to the Bruins. But Frolik and his teammates arent exactly going into foreign territory. "I think were kind of used to bad ice. Chicago is not great ice, too," he said. "Hopefully we get used to it very quick." ' ' '
