Bout time, if it's in madden, it should be live too.

I do love watching Zeke mock his opponents dances after scoring

 

[Trouty]

No snow angels!?? Twerking?? Booo!!!

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

Bingo!

To me, it's like watching Batman versus Superman. When I was 10, sure. Now, not so much.

That's kind of disrespectful to those of us that enjoy the celebrations, don't you think, E?

Calling us "LCD's" because we enjoy a little fun and silly antics in the endzone in a child's game -- just because you don't -- is a bit arrogant.

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.

That doesn't get endorsements

With originality, hype, and general overall coolness being the criteria, my top three in no particular order.

1. Anything Billy "White Shoes' Johnson ever did (the OG, the King)
2. The California Quake (you know it, you love it)
3. The Icky Shuffle (so popular at the time, people couldn't get enough, they loved Icky, great all time name)

Ken Norton Jr. boxing the goal post was pretty badass!

Edit -- here it is

Why not?

These guys are entertainers. I have fond memories of TO, Joe Horn and Chad Johnson trying to outdo each other every week.

It makes the game more entertaining.

 

[Sepia]

I like celebrations. Put a time-limit on it to keep them within reason.

 

[Nightman]

This changed everything

 

[xwalker]

So, is this in or out?

 

[Risen Star]

I can't wait for more idiotic, childish, attention seeking nonsense all in the name of "fun".

Terrible decision.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Will they allow the Cowboys cheerleaders to twerk instead? Because that would be so.......nice.

That bad, ey? The audacity of the league and these attention seekers. Just crazy, it's gonna ruin the game.

If you need that you're not a football fan.

Indeed!!!

Gonna kill the game, I say! Death to all who dance and twirl.

'Merica!

I fully expect that enough of the players will abuse the privilege so that it gets taken away again. Pretty sure that's how it got that way to begin with....
