CFL player slides into propane heater (VIDEO)

Calgary Stampeders wide receiver Maurice Price was shoved out of bounds after a reception in Friday night's CFL game and slid headfirst into a sideline propane heater. Yes, headfirst.

Picture Wile E. Coyote peering into the open end of a cannon and you'll get a pretty good idea of what it looked like. Or you can enjoy the video below with a clear conscience, knowing Price escaped major injury on the play.

"It would have been better if he had stayed down and hit the lower part," the announcer says while watching the replay.

Oh, you think it would have been better if he could have avoided sliding directly into the heater? He should have tried to miss sticking his head in a propane-fueled heater that can reach 35,000 BTU? Thanks for the insight. Good to hear vapid announcing knows no borders.

"I didn't really feel the heat," Price told The Calgary Sun. "I blacked out for a second and when I came to, they said I was stuck under the heater, but I'm all right."

The receiver had four catches for 104 yards in the game, the biggest receiving output of his career. He says he won't watch his infamous highlight though.

"Some people said I went in it," he said. "Others say I went under it. I don't know because I don't want to see it."
