While some NFL camps are opening today here is a reminder why the NFL is so much better than the Canadian Football League's version up north.
Chris Williams of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats grabbed a missed field goal by the Montreal Alouettes (there's no French in football)) seven yards deep in his own end zone, ran down the field before he started to celebrate by backpedaling into the other end zone and got tackled on the one yard line.
Maybe he thought he was still playing in the lower forty-eight and forgot that the Canadian field of play is 10 yards longer.
Anyway, Williams re-enactment of DeSean Jackson or Leon Lett's premature celebrations turned his spectacular 117-yard touchdown run into an 116-yard fail.
The Tiger Cats scored on the next play so all was forgiven, eh?
If I was the coach I would have grabbed a microphone and cut the player publicly.
