Emir Bekric of Serbia was third and two-time Olympic champion Felix Sanchez wound up fifth

Twenty years after its debut, Jerry Maguire remains a movie about love, professional fulfillment and what it really means to show me the money. Football was a vehicle for a larger story, which fortunately didnt depend on an accurate depiction of the actual game on the field.In the most extensive football scene of the movie, Arizona Cardinals receiver Rod Tidwell -- played by Cuba Gooding Jr., a 28-year-old rising star -- is knocked unconscious after catching a critical touchdown pass. We wont get into why the mid-1990s Cardinals, who had one winning season between 1985 and 2007, were appearing on Monday Night Football. Nor will we make light of the treatment Tidwell receives for the head injury.In a window into the way concussions were viewed at the time, Tidwell remains on his back, clutching the football for several minutes while medical officials attempt to wake him up by clapping and calling his name. Rod? Rod! Can you hear me?Tidwell then woke up and miraculously performed the greatest post-touchdown celebration in Hollywood history. It was so good, in fact, that the NFL -- known as the No Fun League even then -- would never allow such a thing these days.Let us count the ways:1. Today, Tidwell would be penalized immediately for taking off his helmet in the end zone. Thats unsportsmanlike conduct, a violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(i) of the current rule book.2. When Tidwell kissed the football, an eager official might well have considered that a penalty as well. Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(g) prohibits using the ball as a prop for, in this case, something he wanted to show affection toward. (Sorry, Im just the messenger!)3. After spinning the football, which I think would have been legal because he didnt do it in the direction of an opponent, Tidwell would have definitely drawn a flag for his wild, full-body spin-dance move. Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1(d) prohibits players from going to the ground during a celebration.4. Technically, Tidwell shouldnt have been penalized for jumping into the crowd at the faux Sun Devil Stadium. The Lambeau Leap exception for post-touchdown celebration would apply.5. Im going to guess that Tidwell wouldve also earned a penalty for an excessive celebration. By the time he had removed his helmet, kissed the ball, spun it, gotten jiggy with it -- Will Smiths tune of the same name dropped one year after the movie -- and lowered himself from the stands, nearly two minutes had passed. That infringes on a lot of commercial time for NFL broadcasts.Dont get me wrong. A moviemakers top priority is to provide entertainment, not realism. The NFL has been fighting that tendency for decades, and so it goes.

He sent that message loud and clear Thursday at the world track and field championships, capturing another bronze in mens high jump and setting a Canadian record in the process. The native of Corunna, Ont., cleared 2.38 metres to finish behind Bohdan Bondarenko of Ukraine, who won gold with a jump of 2.41. Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar took silver in 2.38 while reigning Olympic champion Ivan Ukhov of Russia finished fourth at 2.35. "I wanted to prove this year that I deserved to be on the podium in London 2012, feels good to have accomplished that goal," Drouin said. Drouins bronze in at the London Olympics was the lone Canadian medal in track and field last summer, but he has company in Moscow. Decathlete Damian Warner (bronze) and heptahlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton (silver) have also been on the podium at the world championships. "I was joking after that I never thought I would only place third jumping 2.38 metres, Im certainly not disappointed, it was an incredible competition," said Drouin. "I felt like 2.41 metres was attainable but its always emotional when you set a personal best, getting another one in the same competition was a daunting task. That height is definitely a realistic goal for me now." Matthew Hughes of Oshawa, Ont., also broke a Canadian record, placing sixth in the 3,000-metre steeplechase in 8:11.64. Kenyas Ezekiel Kemboi won his third straight gold. "With a lap to go I knew I was on pace for (the Canadian record)," said Hughes. "I tried to stay with the Kenyan pack and fight all the way. It was a huge relief when I saw the time come up on the board." Alex Genest of Lac-aux-Sables, Que., placed 13th. In mens shot put, Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops, B.C., qualified seventh with a throw of 20.39. "I have no clue what it will take to medal, thats always a moving target," said Armstrong. "Its wide open. A lot of guys are in great shape, including me." Meantime, Sweden capped an eventful day with its first gold medal after one of its high jumpers set off a controversy over Russias anti-gay law in the morning with a rainbow-colored protest that drew pole vault great Yelena Isinbayeva into condemning homosexuality. Abeba Aregawi won the closing 1,500 metres, beating defending champion Jenny Simpson of the United States with a great last-lap effort. Earlier in the day, Aregawis teammate Emma Green Tregaro flaunted her rainbow-painted fingernails in the morning as she qualified for the weekend high jump final, a show of support of gays and lesbians in Russia. It set off Isinbayeva, the Russian pole-vaulting star, who criticized homosexuality and defended the new anti-gay law which has drawn sharp criticism and led Western activists to call for a boycott of next years Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of Sochi.dddddddddddd The law means that anyone wearing a rainbow flag on the street or writing about gay relationships on Facebook, for instance, could be accused of propagandizing. "We are just against the publicity in our country and I support our government," Isinbayeva said. Green Tregaro posted a picture of her fingers on social media website Instagram, saying "Nails painted in the colours of the rainbow." She followed that with several hashtags, including "pride" and "moscow2013." "If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people," Isinbayeva said. On a night of almosts for Americans, Simpson was not the only one to settle for silver. Jehue Gordon of Trinidad and Tobago threw himself across the finish line to hold off Michael Tinsley by .01 seconds and win the 400-meter hurdles. Gordon came on strong down the stretch and finished in a world-leading time of 47.69 seconds to edge Tinsley. Emir Bekric of Serbia was third and two-time Olympic champion Felix Sanchez wound up fifth. It was a similar story in the womens 400 hurdles, even if the margins were bigger. Zuzana Hejnova of the Czech Republic beat American duo Dalilah Muhammad and defending champion Lashinda Demus. The U.S. silver medal tally ballooned to eight, with a championship leading 14 overall. The United States also leads the gold medal standings with four. Kenya moved up into second place together with Russia when Kemboi further established himself as the greatest of his era, winning gold ahead of compatriot Conseslus Kipruto. It was the fourth straight 1-2 finish for Kenya at the world championships. Both nations now have eight medals overall, including three gold. Jamaica is only sixth at the moment but is expected to add many more to its tally when sprinting takes back precedence over the last three days of the championships. The womens 200 final is Friday and both 100 champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Olympic champion Allyson Felix dominated their semifinal heats, keeping Fraser-Pryces ambition alive for three golds -- something teammate Usain Bolt achieved at two Olympics and two world championships so far. Felix is looking for the same triple she won at the London Olympics last year, combining the 200 with the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Felix had the top time of 22.30 seconds, but Fraser-Pryce coasted well ahead of the line and still finished with the fourth best qualifying time for Fridays final. Fraser-Pryce is primarily a 100 sprinter and has two Olympics golds that attest to that, but she said in Moscow that she has never been as ready as this year to add the 200, too. -- With files from The Associated Press.
