Kerry Joseph (no, not that Kerry Joseph)* Arland Bruce leads a relatively obscure life as a wide receiver for the Toronto Argonauts; such is life in the CFL. But something tells me Mr. Joseph* Bruce will be getting a little more attention soon. You see, the CFL is currently reviewing a recent touchdown celebration in which Joseph* Bruce honored Michael Jackson by pretending to be buried. See for yourself and then we'll debate!



Joseph*Bruce, by the way, received two objectionable conduct penalties for the "celebration," which, in my mind, was perfectly fine. See, here's the thing: a worldwide icon passed tragically, Joseph honored him, his team paid the price and everyone moved on. Except the CFL.

For some reason, the league is reviewing it, although lord only knows why they're putting the hurt on him for this (and to what extent they intend on punishing him; nothing scares a professional athlete like seeing loonies and toonies fly out of their wallet). Maybe it's just because he didn't do anything to pay tribute to Canada Day.

*Yes. I am an idiot. Joseph is the quarterback and Bruce is the wide receiver. You'd think having actual video would have solved that, but no. On the other hand, this is Canadian football we're talking about people.
