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

Yet emmitt taking off his helmet wasn't "grandfathered" in......

NFL got some common sense in them..

Makes good sense -- it was a good plug for the Salvation Army, as well as being wholesomely entertaining.

Can they refund us the penalty?

Seriously, you can jump in the stands in Green Bay, causing a safety concern. Why can't you jump in a kettle by yourself?

Why didn't the NFL "grandfather" the horse collar rule so that it wasn't illegal for a Cowboys player to do it? The rule was brought about from Roy Williams tackle on TO, IIRC. I totally get why the horse collar rule is not grandfathered...but that's my point. If the NFL makes a rule that makes something illegal, then why do they make any exception? A rule is a rule, dumb or not. Of course, so much of what the league rules on is dumb.

He should not have even been penalized on that play...

Maybe not but I thought Dak should have been for pointing to the sky after his TD run.

Yea I heard that years ago. It was started when the NFL wasn't so offended by a celebration. They expect players to be robots.

No Fun League

I'm still lol about that. I thought he was going to do the leap. Greatest celebration ever.

They should penalize them for not celebrating!!!!

 

[Idgit]

In other news, however, David Irving apparently *did* get fined last night for using Gosder Cherilus as a prop.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

I don't even understand why it was a penalty. He wasn't on the field at that point, so what's the rule he violated?

Very good decision by the NFL but if anyone should be fined it's Terry McAuley who called this stupid penalty.

 

[TheCount]

They didn't fine him because they don't want to address the point Garrett actually brought up, why is the Lambeau Leap still legal when everything else is illegal?

 

[links18]

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

Twenty years ago, I might have been able to Ollie onto the lip. Now, I might have a heart attack trying to climb into it....

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

Like the signature..They are beautiful.

There are league wide rules and norms and then there are the Green Bay Packers with their own set of rules and exceptions.

IMHO the Packers have always been held to a different set of rules than the rest of the league and, IMHO, I think it even shows itself on the field with referee favoritism.
