Former Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Andy Fantuz is going to Hamilton, and the Twitterverse has gone into overdrive.
The team announced Friday morning that they have signed the 28-year-old native of Chatham, Ont.
The six-foot-four, 221-pound Fantuz led the CFL in receiving in the 2010 season with 87 catches for 1,380 yards and six TDs with the Saskatchewan Roughriders before signing in Chicago in the off-season.
He returned to the Riders last September but on Feb. 15 his contract expired and he became a free agent.
Here's a sampling of what people are saying today.
