I find it an amusing story.
Football involves 12 players on the field from each team at a time (offense vs. defense obviously). If you have more than that you get a penalty.
All year, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have been an OK team, but their fans are absolutely obsessive. No matter where they play, half the stands are filled with them.
Whenever the other team tries to make a play, they scream so loudly that half the time, the other team screws up. This phenomonon has been dubbed the "13th man". And it's won them a lot of games that they would have otherwise lost.
Now, today is the Grey Cup (equivalent of the Supebowl). 5 seconds remain in the game. Saskatchewan leads over Montreal 27-25. Montreal is about to attempt a field goal (worth 3 points).
The 13 man goes to work.
Montreal kicks, and misses the field-goal. The crowd is going crazy, but there are penalty flags everywhere.
Why?
The 13th man.
No, not THAT 13th man. Saskatchewan put a 13th player on the field!!
Two seconds are added back to the clock, the team receives a 10 yard penalty, and Montreal kicks again.
Field goal at 0.00seconds.
Montreal wins 28-27. Because of the 13th man.
I found it quite amusing.
