News: Ezekiel Elliott won't be fined for TD celebration

[WoodysGirl]

NFL got some common sense in them..

 

[pugilist]

would be a super classy move if Zeke donated anyways

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Of course they won't. He said he'd match the fine with a donation. They can't have Zeke looking like a good guy in that exchange so they won't fine him.

 

[SDCowboy]

Good. Shouldn't have been a penalty either.

 

[InDakWeTrust]

We should continue putting the ball in it after every TD..IMO. That was a HOF level celebration if there ever was one.

 

[Texas_Pete]

This guy has a point here. Zeke is still under investigation for allegations stemming from before he was a Cowboy. If he donates any way, this helps his image on a national stage.

Right on cue:



Great job Zeke!

Yet the packers do this every single game after every single touchdown without a penalty

 

[CyberB0b]

They should get rid of the excessive celebration penalty. That's part of what got the game as popular as it is. Too many penalties. They wonder why the ratings have dropped.

Agree. If you can let the Lambeau Leap pass, then whats more dangerous. Him into a pot of an NFL player with their size landing on a fan ????

4 things for the NFL this off season: Consistency in any of the following rules:
What is a catch? I won't even start on that one.
What is a acceptable celebration? Why not just give them a time limit (say 7 seconds) to do what ever they want. They go over the time and they are penalized.
What is holding? If a DLineman falls or slips to the ground after being blocked is that holding?
What is interference? If the ball is thrown 10 yards over the intended receiver, is it still interference?

Heard on Mike & Mike today that the "Lambeau Leap" was grandfathered into the celebration rule.

 

[pugilist]

great kid, proud of him for doing that

 

[DenCWBY]

I really like this guy!! He's becoming the real deal!!

 

[rynochop]

I felt really unathletic watching that because I probably couldn't even jump in to that kettle

I like this suggestion.

NFL: "We won't fine Zeke for bringing attention to a charity" *Goodell pats himself on the back*
Mara: "AHEM"
NFL: "...Oh yeah... but we will suspend him for discredited accusations starting in the playoffs"

Nice list. Agree on that non catchable ball. Don't recall seeing that called at all this season...

I'd love to see a Cowboy player bring back Butch Johnson's California Quake.
