Can't wait to see Antonio Brown humping the goal post after a TD catch. It will all seem so worthwhile.

The players will probably stop celebrating as much, since it's no longer a penalty. I miss the old "hand the ball to the ref and act like you've been there before" celebration.

what would really be great is if they eased up on the various celebrations but then banned the Lambeau leap!

I agree.

I cannot wait for the next creative celebration that these fine young entertainers can come up with.

However, owners are expected to approve a 15 yard penalty for acting like you're eating after a first down. A vote of 31-1 is expected.

To be clear, that vote is 31-1 against, with only Mara voting in favor. Upon which vote, the rule will be adopted immediately.

This. But then that would mean a classy move on the players part. This NFL generation? Me no think so.

Dude you cant talk about the cheerleaders like that, they have feelings too...

Meh, this is just fodder for the LCDs out there, but it really doesn't matter to me. I think it's a good idea to take this off the referees.

Here's the cure. Spot the ball after the TD quickly, and put a 40-second clock on it. If they don't snap it in time, you suddenly have a 37-yard try.

Lighten up, Francis!

TVs like the celebrating?

Seriously, what the frig is an LCD? Lowest common denominator?

I'm glade I'm part of gen x. Hopefully we won't turn into a bunch of sanctimonious a**holes like most other generations have.
