Where's Tony Horne been?

Reading the PFW CFL preview (see last post) reminded me that I never
did figure out Tony Horne's current whereabouts. I previously found that
he had been in the CFL on Montreal's roster as recently as 2004, but
found nothing on him since then.

Till now. A Google search on "Tony Horne CFL" reveals what appears to
be a February press release by his agent. The link is essentially dead,
but Google still has the cached text. Tony turned 31 in March, or 2.5
years older than Dante Hall.

Excerpts:
