anyways is not a word. The word is anyway.

 

[WoodysGirl]

I wonder if he was fined when he got beat up by the kicking net.

 

[MRV52]

OBJ shut the hell up!!!

 

[Rogerthat12]

My hatred for that team is starting to reach brandon jacobs days level of hatred.

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.

Because the Lambeau Leap doesn't harm anyone, and it was already started before the league cracked down on excessive celebrations.
The Horse Collar rule was adopted for safety reasons. So, of course, the NFL isn't going to grandfather in the very play that prompted the rule's existence.

And I stated as much in my post. My real point was that no rule should be grandfathered. A rule is a rule. Guess I didn't state it clearly enough...

 

[Sarge]

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

Try head first.

OBJ, shut up. You don't have the history with the Salvation Army that this team does.

Just when I thought I could not lose more respect for him.

 

[negativecreep]

I thought I read somewhere that Zeke was still going to donate even with no fine, did I read that right?

OBJ should be fined because an oversensitive attention ***** that can't control himself on the field.

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.

I don't think they should get rid of it totally.. but certainly tone it down a lot.. ie its only a flag if it obscene or goes on forever or is excessively taunting directly towards opponent etc. Essentially you would hope it never gets called..

I realise that creates 'grey' but ffs.. the entire point of the game is to score TD's and we now make them try to be choir boys when they do it.. I'd love to see more animation after a TD.

 

[CATCH17]

Supposedly the Salvation Army made 200,000 dollars today.

Zeke must have inspired a lot of people to donate.

 

[SDCowboy]

I can see the clip a thousand times, and I'll still laugh as Zeke slowly pops his head up and peers out.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

ODB can kick rocks & surfboard his face down a flight of stairs.

The penalty was warranted but glad the league saw no real harm in it & issued no fine.

Out of curiosity, can any team jump in to their own crowd, or only the Packers at Lambeau?

Any team.
