CFL rules MNF

In one of the greatest CFL games in recent history, the Minnesota Roughriders edged out the New Orleans Roughriders 30-27 last night at the Superdome. The teams combined for 99 yards rushing but managed to put 57 points on the scoreboard thanks to turnovers and special team plays. The hard working statisticians at Monday Night Football informed me that had this been an NFL game, it would have been the first in history to feature a blocked field goal for touchdown, 2 punt return touchdowns, and a TD pass by a running back.

In a play which won't soon be forgotten by the Irish faithful, Reggie Bush pushes himself over the goal line for the first of two return TDs.

Roughriders running back Reggie Bush was the star of the game with 29 yards along the ground. Oh yeah he also had 7 receptions, returned 2 punts returned for touchdowns, and passed Tony Stewart in the closing moments of the GrandNationalWinstonNextelSprint Cup race at Talledega, though this last play was overturned by a holding penalty... or something...

Bush does it again.

And I can hear your snide little questions "how did your hero AD Pete do?" "Didn't hear too much from him last night did we?". Well, Adrian Peterson didn't suit up for the Roughriders. He was hurt and stuff. He was replaced by the other Adrian Peterson from the Chicago Roughriders, who rushed for less than 2 yards per carry. End of story.
