goneja: I'm still trying to understand why he would perform that type of action in a celebratory manner. I mean, what convinces anyone who just did something great to rip off their clothing and lie dead on the ground in tribute of a celebrity who has no relation to me whatsoever? Was there anything to indicate to the crowd of people he was performing this in front of that it was in fact a tribute to Michael Jackson? Knowing they would have no clue what he was doing, why would he do it? At the risk of facing punishment and fines? Even if this was a "tribute" to Michael, how exactly is it a tribute to his memory to lay down and look dead like a corpse? "Man, I love you Michael. Instead of saying a prayer for you and pointing the sky, or a dance move that would inform the crowd I enjoyed your music, I'm going to inexplicably rip off my shoulder pads and lie dead on the ground like your body currently looks. I know that's what you would have wanted." It just doesn't add up. It's farking stupid.

He's a football player, not a rocket scientist.

Well, that's Arland Bruce.

More talent than brains. As I mentioned previously, last year he put on a Spider-man mask after he scored a TD. He's an attention ho.

One of my favourites was some DB who copied what an NFL player did after scoring a TD. This guy intercepted a ball for a TD, pulled out a Sharpie and autographed it...except there was a penalty on the play, so the TD didn't count. It was pretty funny.

Another player actually hid a magazine in the goalpost pads. When he scored a TD, he pulled it out and started reading it.

Idiots. I don't mind a single player doing a brief celebration, but the moment you get players gathering around and everybody's doing something, or use props, it's beyond stupid.

EsteeFlwrPot, Jackson was boysexual.

emocomputerjock: NorCalLos: The 50-year-old iconic entertainer died last week.

Kind of old for a football player, even in the Canadian league. And I don't think a CFL player qualifies as an "iconic entertainer."

The "celebration" was lame. He could've at least moonwalked before he died.

If he could moonwalk in cleats, he'd be the greatest dancer ever.

What about the leg kick/point to Tito/crotch grab?

This Canadian can scrub me down any time.

About the only one I liked was 2 years ago when Matt Dominguez of the Saskatchewan Roughriders scored a TD and was interviewed in the endzone by one of his team mates. What made it great was that the network had a microphone on him so the audience could hear the interview.

It was quick, clever, and amusing. Three words I wouldn't associate with Arland Bruce.

Katalyst: What are Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett getting for Christmas?

Patrick Swayze.

CapitolG: EsteeFlwrPot: I told her it was because he made Thriller

I dug on some old MJ, but in all reality, Quincy Jones made Thriller.. I know lots of folks will disagree with me, but then explain why the albums that QJ produced did so well, and the others did good but not QJ good.

Actually, John Landis made Thriller. Q simply produced the music/LP.

CFL thread?



Go Riders!

so... he got down there, scored... then touched little boys and remained to be famous?

FTA--"But he's straight with it now, and I think next time around he will celebrate in an appropriate manner."

Asking someone if they want fries with that? Good.

I think we'll see a lot of moonwalking in NFL endzones this year.

he imitated a dead white woman? How did he do that?

A producer has a lot to do with drawing out the artist's "voice." I don't know who got the songwriting credits for Thriller, but the songwriting is not what made it sell a brazilian copies. It was the MJ's performance/persona.

Also, I prefer Off The Wall, but I like disco.

If my coach had told me that then my end zone celebration would be me grabbing a cheer leader and heading for the locker room

well since the green light gods still don't smile upon me, I present for your viewing pleasure Kung-Fu fists of plastic .. smooth criminal.

NorCalLos: A producer has a lot to do with drawing out the artist's "voice."

And thats why I say that Thriller and off the wall are QJ albums.. Because I feel that they were like they were because of QJ.... the thriller video was just a video(ground breaking but still just a video)

NorCalLos: I prefer Off The Wall, but I like disco
Guilty.... well on the disco part

can we all get back to the topic at hand? MOOOAAAARRR boobies!!

Michael Jackson Here to show you my new Charlie's Angels tv show!! It has everything, even Kung Fu! We're even having a multi-million dollar contest for viewers- in fact, you may already be a winner!


Did I miss anyone?

Wait, wait, wait....

They play football in Canada? And people watch it?

Does anyone actually remember the first time they heard Thriller? I remember we had the video recorded on VHS when I was a kid and I used to watch it atleast once a week. I remember being amazed by it as a kid, it was like "A Nightmare On Elm Street" set to music that was wicked awesome.

Quincy Jones also produced Bad and Of The Wall and never really produced anything else of merit. He also has zero songwriting credits on any of those albums. Michael Jackson and Rod Temperton were the primary songwriters for the majority of these 3 albums. I know producers have a lot to do with shaping the sound of the music, but to say that Quincy made MJ is kind of ridiculous. If he was such an awesome producer why weren't people lined up waiting to throw bags of cash at him to produce their albums??

I was watching that game. I thought at the time that it was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen a pro athlete do.

The point guard from the 1984 Georgetown national champion basketball team?

I watched the UVa Pep Band re-enact the Death of Elvis when the Hoos played the Tennessee Inbreds in the Sugar Bowl. Complete with Elvis being chased across the field by a guy with a shotgun.

The CFL should be capitalizing on this PR, not punishing it.

My suggestion? The next time Montreal QB Anthony Calvillo scores a TD, he should tear off his jersey, then pull a bottle of Mighty Mendit™ out of his sock and repair it.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Are you f-ing serious?? How old are you??

The all-time most nominated Grammy artist, with a total of 76 nominations and 26 awards, Quincy Jones has also received an Emmy Award, seven Oscar nominations, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. His life and career were chronicled in 1990 in the critically acclaimed Warner Bros. film Listen Up: The Lives of Quincy Jones. In 2001, he published Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones.

OH, SNAP!

My old voice coach was signed to Q Records, auditioned for Q personally. This is the single from the album. It was a hit on modern rock radio locally, not sure how it did outside Sacramento:

I'm 31 .... I know what Q.Jones has accomplished. I'm talking about his production credits. He did produce some great jazz and swing and whatnot back in the day, but really, how tough could production be for a 60's jazz crooner album? Name another artist that Q.Jones produced and tell me if you think that person's success is because of Q. Jones' production skills. Also, he loses major points for producing "We Are The World", as does MJ and anyone else involved in that crap.

They said it in my town when we had a CFL team. Something about Doug Flutie and the field being wider or longer which allowed for more passing.

I'm just sayin ... CapitolG said Q. Jones made Thriller and I disagree. He was part of it, sure, but he didn't singlehandedly concoct it, nor did he write any songs.

The CFL is more exciting to watch than the NFL. I only get interested in the NFL because I'm in three or four pools.

They should install high-pressure water cannons at both ends of the field. When the players start showboating like that, fans get to feed a buck into the gun and take a shot at the moron.

/might actually start watching if they did that.

Wow - you are seriously stupid and know zip about music.

Jones has produced Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Andy Williams, Ray Charles, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Chaka Khan, Lena Horne, George Benson, and Donna Summer, all produced from 1956 to 1987.

He won Grammy's for his "jazz crooner" albums in 1963, 1980, 1981, 1989, 1991, and 1995. He won for POP or R&B in 1963, 1971. 1973, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1989, and 2001.

If he hasn't produced a current album, it's because he's scoring movies right now. He also builds homes for Mandela's foundation, launched the WAF project for poor children among other things.

If you think Michael did any of his stuff without substantially experienced help, you are woefully mistaken.

well did he make the damn kick or not?

As much as I am a "act like you've been there" type I give him props for being topical.

Well no shiat a-hole!! I know Michael didn't do the lettering, engineering, styling, sound effects, handclapping, or flute. I know that he isn't Paul McCartney, who's listed in those credits as "guest appearance". I know he didn't do female background vocals. I'm not sayin Quincy Jones sucks. I was responding to someone saying Quincy Jones made Michael Jackson and Thriller what it is, which I don't think gives enough credit to Michael Jackson. Also are you telling me Michael didn't play the guitar solo on "Beat It" under the alias Eddie Van Halen??
