With the way Goodell dishes out punishments, it wouldn't have suprprised me if he would have been suspended in the NFL. Quote:
CFL fines player for TD tribute to Michael Jackson
Thursday, July 2, 2009
(07-02) 14:35 PDT TORONTO, CA (AP) --
The Canadian Football League fined Toronto Argonauts receiver Arland Bruce for "excessive actions" during his tribute to Michael Jackson after scoring a touchdown.
Bruce was fined an undisclosed amount, the CFL announced Thursday.
After scoring on a 21-yard pass that 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 honoring the memory of Jackson by pretending to be buried.
Referees gave Bruce two objectionable conduct penalties for his actions in the game, which the Argonauts won 30-17 on Wednesday night.
"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 CFL said.
Toronto coach Bart Andrus said "next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."

I mean there had to be a better TD celebration. No moonwalk? A coordinated dance with his teammates from thriller? I mean just lying dead is kind of weak.

In other news, apparently Walter's son has been relegated to backup kicker duties in the CFL.
