SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
It would be funny enough with him just spiking the balls.

I watched a good chunk of the Heritage Classic, the outdoor NHL game last night in Calgary. The ice was in really poor condition thanks to the extremely cold weather preceding the game. This led to pucks bouncing all over the place. They might as well have played with a tennis ball.

The Bahrain Grand Prix has finally been canceled. Unreal to see Ecclestone leave the decision to the Crown Prince.
Disgusted to be an F1 fan right now. A message could have been sent here. A strong one. Instead the spineless FOTA teams said "We'll go along with what mommy (FIA) and Daddy (FOM) say." FIA said absolutely nothing. Ecclestone waited, then said it was down to the prince.
Absolutely pathetic.

Football celebration fail.
Good old Kerwin Bell, brief quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts. He did that more than 10 years ago, and he's still getting laughed at.
I should point out that the flag that is thrown at the end is against Bell, not the Bluebomber that pushed him after the fact.
Side note: I thought I found video of it here, but it says the video was taken down because of a copyright claim from the NFL.
The CFL might want to talk to youtube about that.

Yeah, that made the game kind of unwatchable. Too bad, too, as I was really looking forward to watching it.
