Arland Bruce's TD celebration aimed to honor Michael Jackson ... by pretending to be buried

Bruce was assessed two objectionable conduct penalties -- which I believe is Canadian for unsportsmanlike conduct. The CFL is reviewing the TD celebration.

Andrus told the Canadian Press after the game: "I think next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."
Bruce is no stranger to the dreaded objectionable conduct penalty. In the following video, he's dubbed the Chad Johnson (OchoCinco) of the Canadian Football League for donning a Spiderman mask that was presumably in his pants during a TD celebration ... so yes, he ran around a football field getting all sweaty with a Spiderman mask in his pants. Then, to celebrate, he took the Spiderman mask out of his pants and put it on his head. Not even OchoCinco is sick enough to do something like this:
