Packers exempt from celebration rule

Lol, thats a good point. What if TO scores for us in Greenbay, say in the playoffs or sometime we play them in the reg season. What if he does the "Leap" in their home field. Sounds like that would be leagle...and I bet really piss of the crowd. I didn't say in the rules that only the home team can do that...TO or any reciever could do that at away games...lol.

TO would never come back out of the crowd

Just another sign of the double-standard the league has regarding the Cowboys and their "favorites" (i.e. Packers, 49ERs, Steelers, Commanders, Broncos, Patriots, etc.).

Certain teams can get away with murder but when the Cowboys do something suddenly there has to be a rule put in place (The Emmitt, Rule, The Irvin Rule, The Erik Williams Rule, The Jerry Jones Rule, The Roy Williams Rule, etc.).

This latest rule is without a doubt in response to the Cowboys' signing of Terrell Owens. Where was this outcry from the league when he was with the Niners or Eagles?

I am all for a rule stopping these elaborate, pre-planned, individual celebrations but they need to eliminate ALL of them not just some. That includes the sacred Lambeau Leap.

I didn't like it when Butch Johnson did his "California Quake" back in the 80s because it highlights an individual's accomplishment rather than the team that got him the ball. These celebrations are ALL about getting face time on Sports Center.

Man I can't wait for Tags to go away.
