Eat It
Michael Jackson dies. People go crazy with their ‘love’ for the guy. Memories are shared, impact is debated, and tributes are prepared. It’s all very touching, in some weird celebrity/fan sort of way. Sticking with the tributes for a second, I wondered how long it would take for a football player to use Jackson’s death as an opportunity to get their face on the highlight shows. With the NFL still off-seasoning, it was up to the CFL to carry (or drop) the torch.
Think about it for a second. A ‘tribute’ to Jackson would be easy, right? I mean, the white glove is pretty inoffensive and somewhat tasteful. Get into the endzone during a game? That’s a perfect opportunity to break out a moonwalk. Hell, it’s the CFL. Score a touchdown and you can pull four of your brothers out of the stands and start singing ABC if you want. The options are plentiful.
Arland Bruce, you really suck:
After scoring on a 21-yard pass from Kerry Joseph to put Toronto ahead 6-0, Bruce removed his helmet, shoulder pads and uniform top and laid down in the end zone. Bruce said he was simply honouring the memory of Michael Jackson by pretending to be buried.
You read that right. Honouring the memory of Michael Jackson by pretending to be buried. How touching.
