The Fun is back in the NFL; celebration penalties relaxed

[Kevinicus]

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.

You mean, you miss people not celebrating and having fun.

Instead, let's pretend like everything is meaningless.

so more silliness to watch that has nothing to do with the game

Celebrations have been apart of the game for a long time

Interesting to see what zeke comes up with...

 

[Trouty]

Thats still not approved

Yet it should be, too. It's fun and funny. Nothing wrong with these dudes doing a short, creative dance in the endzone. As long as it's not against us

Some of the folks in this thread sound like Joe Buck after Randy Moss did the fake mooning in GB. OH, THE HORROR!

I like to celebrate when i win the game. That's just me.

I like to have fun while I'm playing as well.

Ladainian Tomlinson would do that very handoff to the refs after scoring. It's rare, but some players do it, Coach.

I, myself, like the celebrating, as long as it isn't over 10-15 or so seconds. Or against us

Stuff like that is ChildsPlay! Lol, I hope you get the joke.

 

[MileyDancer]

So, is this in or out?

Such a great skit.

 

[MileyDancer]

I want to see the whole offense line up and do a number from RENT.

TVs like the celebrating?

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

Bingo!

I don't mind the celebrating, I just think its cool and shows a lot of swagger when you hand the ball to the ref high five a couple of your team mates and hustle to the sideline.

 

[Trouty]

Bingo!

The players celebrating are the LCD or the fans that like it are?

except for the Dallas Cowboys. They will be penalized as usual.

To each their own, Coach. There is some definite swagger when a great player like LT just hands the ball off to the ref, I can't disagree.

I also like a boogie down in the endzone every now and then

Some of the celebration I don't like but the NFL goes overboard with their rules. And there is a difference between celebrating and taunting. Let the players have some fun.

I love the true unscripted celebrations when scoring a big TD that wins or changes momentum. Celebrating with your line, the QB sprinting to the end zone when his receiver makes a big play. Im not crazy about the look a ME stuff.
I always taught my line to run to the end zone and get in on the picture when our back scored. I told them, that the only way you're gonna get your picture in the paper. It was great watching them run down there when we watched film on Saturday mornings, especially after a long run.

I'm kind of upset nobody does the robot. That would be my go-to. That or Robocop.
