What…what in the fuck did we just watch right there?
Edmonton and Toronto in overtime.
Game is tied 30-30 and the Elks have the punt team out.
That would only make sense to anyone who has a functioning brain.
But this is Canada we’re talking about here.
It’s something called a “rouge”.
You get 1 point for kicking the ball out of the end zone without being returned.
Why on Earth you should get a point for that, we’ll never know.
It makes negative sense to me, but so do most things that Canadians do.
It’s just disgusting to see a punter have the ability to end a game.
It’s one thing that American football allows kickers to be heroes and kick walk-off field goals.
Personally I think once a game gets to overtime, you should have to score a touchdown to win.
But field goals at least require a little skill so I’m willing to concede there.
But just punting the ball through the end zone?
Imagine if that’s how you won the Grey Cup?
Because they don’t deserve the game up there.
