Now that's our kind of Christian!

We know little about Mike Pearson (the football player, not the former prime minister), except that he makes Greg Mohns "elated." We have a hard time picturing that, but nevertheless it seemed reason enough to find out what we could about the newest Argo.

The best we could find is this interview from the Miami Dolphins' website, which is about as hard-hitting as you'd expect a team-sponsored interview to be. But it does contain two valuable pieces of information.

First, Pearson apparently has no sense of smell - a curious affliction, but one that will be quite useful for games at Ivor Wynne.

Second, it seems he's a devout Christian - but possibly more the Old Testament kind. Or, in his words: "I want to show them that sometimes that being a Christian, you might get a kind of a ‘Oh, this guy isn’t tough’ or something. But you can show them that just because you’re a Christian, doesn’t mean that you’re not out on the field pounding heads."

I wonder just how elated Mohns really is. When camp opened there was a report on the Argos website about rookie check-in, noting that Mohns weighed and measured the young men himself. Is this what player-personnel directors normally do? Doesn't anyone think this photo is a little creepy?

That Ivor Wynne line is too funny, A-Rad.

Let's just hope that Mohns was using a scale to weigh the guys, and not his bare hands.
