TORONTO - The Canadian Football League fined Toronto Argonauts receiver Arland Bruce for “excessive actions” during his tribute to Michael Jackson after scoring a touchdown Wednesday night. 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.
