For the record, I laughed at the celebration. It's funny, but at the same time no different than TO's Dallas cowboys logo at half. It does nothing but motivate the opposition. It's disrespecting the opposition's fans.
Group dances should be used in moderation. I can see the CFL following NFL's no-celebration policy next year if this keeps up

Higgins needs to lighten up. Yea he's a good coach, but you see that the cockiness of the team is getting sucked out of them when you're not allowed to have fun for doing a good job. I don't see how that was an insult at all. Maybe it's insulting because Edm scores so few touchdowns via receivers as it is that they haven't gotten a chance to do that one first! (I'm sure if our home field had a track that they would have done it at
home after a TD score!)
Or else they just don't have enough personality to have enough courage to have fun after they score. They could have done something on Labour day, but they chose not to.
It really is too bad that players are being told more often that your not paid to have fun on the job and that fans don't want to see it! I haven't seen anything these guys do that has been offensive (especially in the first half of that game
....man does that hurt) or taking shots at the other team.
Besides that, ugh, why do we have to go down like that at the end???
I guess one thing is that the cfl is getting back to true don't leave until time is up form. That I can live with.
