Christopher Schultz (born February 16, 1960) is a retired National Football League and Canadian Football League player who played the offensive tackle position primarily with the CFL Toronto Ar-gonauts.

He played college football at the University of Arizo-na. He is currently a sportscaster with Canadi-an sports television chan-nel TSN.

Schultz attended Alder-shot High School in Bur-lington, Ontario, where he was a part of 2 football championships. He also practiced basketball. He accepted a football schol-arship from the University of Arizona.

He was recruited by Ari-zona head coach Tony Mason as a defensive tackle, where he played his first three years. One of the strongest players on the team, he was convert-ed into a left tackle as a senior.

Schultz was selected in the seventh round (189th overall) of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cow-boys. On August 21, 1984, he was placed on the in-jured reserve list.[1] He was activated later on the year and played in 5 games on special teams. In 1984, he was lost for the season after injuring his right knee in the third preseason game.

After only playing in 5 games with no starts dur-ing his first two years, in 1985, Phil Pozderac in-jured his knee during the third game of the season, which opened the door for Schultz to start at left tackle, only to return to a backup role when Pozderac was healthy. He eventually regained the starting position from the thirteenth game until the playoffs, but struggled mightily while playing against the Los Angeles Rams. He was waived on August 26, 1986.

In 1986, Schultz returned to Canada to play for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, who owned his rights after drafting him in the first round of the 1982 CFL Draft. He played in 124 games for the Argos over his nine-year career. Schultz was named a CFL All-Star twice (1987, 1988), ap-peared in the Grey Cup in

Hell of a Day

There I was sitting at the

bar staring at my drink

when a large, trouble-

making biker steps up next to me,

grabs my drink and gulps it down in

one swig.

"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?"

he says, menacingly, as I burst into

tears. "Come on, man," the biker

says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I

can't stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," I

say.

"I'm a complete failure. I was late to

a meeting and my boss fired me.

When I went to the parking lot, I

found my car had been stolen and I

don't have any insurance.

67 Probustians at our July 12th

meeting, heard from John Gerrard,

the CEO of Habitat for Humanity,

Halton-Mississauga. The fact that

67 robust Probustians showed up

on a truly fine summer day to hear

from the local head of an organiza-

tion that many of us feel we know

something about, shows how eager

we Probustoonians are to add some

brain cells.

I’ll start by stating what I thought I

knew about Habitat for Humanity. I

thought it was a non-profit organi-

zation that builds residences for

people in need, and that former U.S.

president Jimmy Carter is involved.

And as I knew there was a US and a

Canadian connection, I felt it might

be an international operation.

Well, let me tell you how little I ac-

tually knew about, “Habitat”, as it’s

commonly known ….

1. It’s not just international, but a

WORLD-WIDE organization.

2. Since being founded in 1976 it

has helped more than 4 million peo-

ple, construct, rebuild or preserve,

more than 800,000 homes.

3. It also operates more than 900

Habitat ‘Restores’, that sell high

quality used & good as new items

for building, rebuilding or restoring

homes.

Listening to John Gerrard talk

about the successes of Habitat dur-

ing it’s over 40 years of existence,

was most informative, but I could

hardly wait to ask him about any

direct dealings he had with former

President Jimmy Carter. He saw Carter

at a Habitat, “build” in Winnipeg in

2017 and it was certainly an interesting

meeting.

John will never forget that day. Record

high summer temperatures at the site

had greeted Carter, 93, and wife

Rosalynn, just three years his junior.

Resulting in an ambulance being called

to take him to a hospital. When it left,

leaving the crowd at the build site,

Rosalynn quickly took-over, saying,"

Jimmy will be just fine. We’ve got to

get back to work.”

Just a dozen words, but words that

show how much Jimmy and Rosalynn

meant to each other (inseparable since

their marriage in 1946) …. how she

helped him become a state Senator,

Governor of Georgia, and oh yes, US

President (1977-81).

Speaking of helping …. Our 67 tooney-

tossing Probustinians topped up club

coffers to a new, per person high (I

believe) of $142.45. Don’t get too

proud that’s only $2.13 person …… It

won’t build too many Habitat for

The easiest way to find something

lost around the house is to buy a

replacement.

Did you ever notice: The Roman Nu-

merals for forty (40) are XL.

The sole purpose of a child's middle

name is so he can tell when he's

really in trouble.

Did you ever notice: When you put

the 2 words ' The' and ' IRS

' together it spells 'Theirs'.

Aging: Eventually you will reach a

point when you stop lying about

your age and start bragging about it.

Some people try to turn back their

"odometers." Not me. I want

people to know 'why' I look this

way. I've traveled a long way and

some of the roads weren't paved.

Ah! Being young is beautiful but be-

ing old is comfortable.

Lord, keep your arm around my

shoulder and your hand over my

mouth.

The Ramblings of my Mind

I decided that old age is when you still

have something on the ball, but you are

just too tired to bounce it.

I thought about making a fitness movie

for folks my age and calling it

'Pumping Rust'.

When people see a cat's litter box they

always say, "Oh, have you got

a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's

for company!"

Employment application blanks always

ask who is to be called in case

of an emergency. I think you should

write, 'An ambulance'.

The older you get the tougher it is to

lose weight because by then

your body and your fat have gotten to

be really good friends.

I left my wallet in the cab I took

home. I found my wife with another

man... and then my dog bit me."

"So I came to this bar to work up

the courage to put an end to it all, I

buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and

sit here watching the poison dis-

solve; and then you show up and

drink the whole damn thing!

"But, Hell, enough about me,

how are you doing?

MURPHY'S LESSER KNOWN LAWS

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

3. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

4. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

5. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

7. Nothing is foolproof to a suffi-ciently talented fool.

8. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

9. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

10. The things that come to those who wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

11. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

12. Flashlight: A case for holding dead batteries.

13. God gave you toes as a device for finding furniture in the dark.

14. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty
