MJ Rises From The Ashes To Play Football

I didn't want to post alot of MJ related articles but this sh*t was funny as hell. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How in the world is laying on the ground pretending to be dead, honouring Michael Jackson??? What was the thought process that went into this mans mind when he conjured up what he believed to be was honouring MJ? There are COUNTLESS ways he could have honoured him after his touchdown. Traditionally, after a touchdown, football players tend to do a dance of some sort so they can brag about how super cool they are. Call me crazy, but im pretty sure Michael Jackson had a wide array of dance moves Arland Bruce could have chosen to do from Michaels 40+ years of dance routines. But no...instead, genius over here decides to pay tribute by choosing to mimic Michael Jacksons funeral arrangements. Arland, you sir are the biggest moron Ive read about in a while. Thats saying alot considering how many morons walk around day to day in Toronto. Funny none the less. I find humor in your stupidity. Thank you for the laughs.

Toronto Argonaut Arland Bruce fined for Michael Jackson tributeTHE CANADIAN PRESS PrintTORONTO - Arland Bruce might have thought it would be a thriller but the CFL decided it was simply bad.
The league fined the Toronto slotback an undisclosed amount Thursday for his touchdown celebration in the Argos' season-opening win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Wednesday. Bruce said he was paying tribute to Michael Jackson. The CFL called it "excessive."
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, then laid down in the end zone.
Bruce said he was simply honouring Jackson's memory by pretending to be buried. The game's referee saw it differently and gave Bruce two objectionable conduct penalties.
"The commissioner has always said he wants the players to have fun, but you can't go over the line," said a CFL spokesman. "It's not always easy to draw that line, but when you remove your equipment to lay down and delay the game, like he did, that's where we draw the line."
The Argonauts said Thursday they support the league's ruling.
"The issue has been addressed internally by head coach Bart Andrus and his coaching staff and the club is confident that any future touchdown celebrations by Argonauts players will be conducted within the rules of the CFL game," the team said in a release.
"It should be noted that Arland apologized of his own volition to his teammates in today's team meeting."
In an interview after the game, Andrus said he had spoken with Bruce.
"I made the mistake of telling him in camp that once he got to the end zone I didn't care what he did," Andrus said. "But he's straight with it now and I think next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."
