Football Bowling

Everyone loves bowling!  Even pro athletes of other sports just gotta bowl sometimes!  Athletes in the CFL are no exception.  Check out how the Hamilton Tiger Cats celebrate a touch-down when they’re looking forward to Tuesday night’s scratch league action.  OK, so maybe they’re just having a little Keggler fun on the field.
