Can't stand it when Moss and a few others do this on opposing teams obviously, but man, it sure does feel good to see Barber and RW doing it. Hell, Barber did it a few times while he was lying on his back, waiting for the pile to get off of him. Just love it.

It's interesting how the refs aren't flagging players for spiking/spinning the ball after first downs or big plays anymore. Seemed like whever T.O. did it, he was whistled for it. I've seen it countless times now and it's not called. I guess they are laxing off that call or something nowadays.

BTW, anyone catch the Titans receiver celebration, like he was getting arrested? *** was that all about, LOL. A getting arrested celebration? Wow, I've almost seen it all now.

:laugh2:

I believe the titans celebration was a pretty clear shot at Matt Jones. That's how I took it, anyway, when I saw it.

Not a fan of on-field celebrations. Some hits are so big you have to hop around a bit. Turnovers deserve some attention. Sacks, too. First downs, not so much.

I'd rather see that stuff saved for the endzones, and then fewer restrictions on end-zone penalties, to tell the truth.

I don't really care either way, a first down after all our struggling is a big deal. Not every player is going to see the endzone, let them have some fun. As long as you're not celebrating when you're down 21 points, who cares.

Thats what I thought as soon as I saw Roy do that. Hope we see that many more times this season. Several TD dances as well. :D

Texas Roy does it all the time. He looked like a ****** the past few seasons when he celebrated first downs while his team was losing like 70-0

I like it. means theyre moving the chains. ROY doesnt really celebrate his TD's right? he does a very minimal thing.

I don't mind the first down signals by WR's and RB's as long as they don't get all wound up like they just won the lottery.

But the timing is important. If you are hopelessly out of the game and stand no chance of winning, I HATE it then.

I like it too!!!! It shows emotion and guys are hyped after making a good play, nothing wrong with that. You gotta leave some energy in the game...

It's only annoying when the other team does it. :)

Everything about the way Roy Williams plays reminds me of Irvin. The next 5 years are going to be an awesomething thing.
