CFL Fan Takes Running On The Field To A Whole New Level By Climbing The Goalpost: Video

Jonathan Sacks — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:20:50 +0000

Here at Sports Rubbish, we show a lot of videos of people running on to the field. Most of the people running around on fields are at baseball and soccer games. Presumably, people are smart enough to not run around near a bunch of football and rugby players who are accustomed to tackling people violently. That makes this fan at a recent CFL game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Calgary Stampeders even more remarkable.

Not only did he manage to run on the field without being tackled, he then scaled the goalpost, climbing all the way to the top in the process. Once returning to the crossbar, he then tightrope-walked across it and pole-danced on the other side. He eventually lowered himself and was taken away by police.

The video below is even better, if only because the person who films it apologizes for the shakiness, saying it was very cold. Only a Canadian would apologize for something like that, and only Canada would be so cold in mid-September that someone’s arms would begin to shake violently.

CFL Player Arland Bruce Celebrates Touchdown By Acting Like Michael Jackson: Video

If you are a football player who wants to do an end-zone celebration in memory of Michael Jackson, there are 2 appropriate methods of dedication: Either do the Moonwalk or the dance from Thriller. Any other “celebration” is quite likely going to be in appropriate.

The CFL season kicked off last night, and Toronto Argonauts receiver Arland Bruce got some unwanted attention for the league by scoring a touchdown against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, then falling down, playing dead, and acting like he was being buried like Michael Jackson.

Nobody seems to have enjoyed Arland Bruce’s tribute. The CFL is looking into punishing him more, in addition to the 2 “objectionable conduct” penalties he already received.

Argos head coach Bart Andrus said, “I made the mistake of telling him in camp that once he got to the end zone, I didn’t care what he did, but he’s straight with it now and I think next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner.”

Yes, next time he’ll just pretend to be Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, or Farrah Fawcett.
