An end zone moment to remember


So.

After scoring a touchdown, the Toronto Argos’ Arland Bruce paid “tribute” to the departed Michael Jackson by taking off his helmet, shoulder pads and uniform top and lying down in the end zone, pretending to be buried.

The Argos weren't happy with the "tribute," and the CFL fined Bruce an undisclosed sum, calling the display "excessive."

That's one word for it.

Despite the fine, I can't help but think the slotback is still happy he pulled the stunt. After all, it accomplished its purpose. No, not giving tribute to Michael Jackson — bringing attention to Arland Bruce.
