The Fun is back in the NFL; celebration penalties relaxed

[Hardline]

Even though this is now legal I hope Garrett enforces no touchdown celebrations.
Just give the ball to the ref and get back to the sideline. You can celebrate after a victory. Until then its all about business.
That being said, The first time an opponent grandstands after scoring a touchdown I hope gets knocked right on their arse. Set a tone celebrations against you won't be tolerated.

If "leaping" into the stands after a TD is OK......Then practically every TD celebration should be OK

Garrett won't do that. And rightfully so.

 

[Hardline]

Garrett won't do that. And rightfully so.

And that's unfortunate.

 

[Trouty]

And that's unfortunate.

For some like yourself, for others not so much.

Much ado about nothing, brother.

Thats really great. Does that mean..defensive players can hit the sizzle players again and celibrate??

 

[haleyrules]

Or that phoney sizzle stiffs can continue to disrespect the game!!!

 

[haleyrules]

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

'Merica!

Yeah. These girls were notso brave a few yrs ago!!

They've been doing it, just very quickly. If the defender goes overboard they get called for taunting. Still, interesting question on if they open it up for them, too.

Really, Boxer, it should be fine for players to celebrate when they score a TD, as long as it isn't longer than 10 or so seconds.

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

Edit -- here it is

So was he Daddy!

 

[Trouty]

So was he Daddy!

That's why he did it! Ken Norton Sr. was legit!

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

I didn't say I did.

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.

I wish they would flag him (not really) because he over uses it soooo much that it's overkill. It loses its luster when he's doing after every few plays, it's dumb and annoying. Pet peeve of mine, had to get that off my shoulder, not trying to start an argument.

Wut? You want Zeke (and us) to get flagged "but not really"

Hmmm. There's something off about you.

I hope he keeps doing it just to piss you off (well, and the implication that him doing so means he's making dem huge plays).

The game should keep you thoroughly entertained. If it doesn't you're not a football fan.

Take pride in your work. Go back and watch Drew Pearson!! Proud. Go back and watch Harvey Martin...good stuff...he would clobber a QB..and just get up and walk back to the huddle. Very intimidating and subtle. Good stuff. Much better than the crap celebrations the fans are inflicted with today. Exception...Billy "White Shoes" Johnson...l still smile when l think about his knee shaking routine...

I like Travis Kelce's celebrations..

Yeah, I'm not a fan at all of defensive celebrations.

Strictly TDs. Good stuff to watch a dude do weird **** in the end zone. It's also funny seeing so many people freak about it

I loved Mel Blount and Jack Tatum...no WR's would dare mock themin the old days....OBJ...and his kind where much more humble....a more honest and respectful game.
