The Fun is back in the NFL; celebration penalties relaxed

[MileyDancer]

All you complaining about celebrations must have no joy in your life, and are probably not fun to hang out with. I'll bust out the robot at a bar just to be stupid. I ran out of ****s to give a few years ago.

Every player is different. Zeke is flashy. It is what it is.

I fully understand that and I'm entitiled to my opinion, it is what it is. I hope he continues to put up big numbers and uses a little more discretion with his celebration a la Witten and Dak. Either way, I'll take a the celebration if it means a decent play even though it's dumb as hell.

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.

How old are you? There's nothing wrong with celebrating a score, TO & Steve Smith made it fun imo.

 

[Fletch]

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.

Like the entitled millineal? Oooooohhhhhhhh!!!!

I'm old enough to know what I like. Read the rest of the thread and see my other opinions on the matter. I'm not against celebrating, I just think old school can still be cool. By the looks of your avatar, you do too. LOL

Yeah because celebrations equal "joy in life". I question how shallow ypur life must be if celebrations are your measuring stick for "joy in life". I enjoy celebrations but there are many more important and not so important things that give me greater joy than a dude dancing around in the end zone.

I seriously consider how much fun you are to hang out with if a celebration brings you that much joy, you must not have mich going on in life. For the record, I'm fine with a TD celebration and am looking forward to them because that equals points and is a pretty big deal. A first down? Not so much.

BTW, you don't need to do the robot.

Except for people getting cleated and bit and eye gouged

lol. Whats wrong with a little eye gouging..! Anything goes! Face spitting...stomping...horse collars...hitting from behind...chop blocks...close lining. Anything to kill offensive players...head slaps...my favourite...( Deacon Jones). Go Defense!

haha, I had an All-State strong safety that was an expert at the eye gouge, we had a picture of him with his entire hands inside the other guys facemask. LOL, I wonder who taught him that. Over 150 tackles and 15 sacks his senior year. He was all business on the field, but after the game he would lead the celebrations with fans, cheerleaders etc.

 

[haleyrules]

No it wasn't his fault, you're dang right, Boxer. He was ferocious. Made Howie Long look like Dori from Finding Nemo. What a beast.

The only honest one of that era, too. Players like Long and Slater chastise him now. Complete BS

Yep. Amen.

 

[CATCH17]

Im fine with celebrating a score.


What I can't stand is the crazy dance after every routine play.


First downs and tackles for a loss don't deserve a TD type celebration.

lol. Let me guess who his teacher was. I bet offenses were afraid of him too!

Hell yeah!!! Love it, Boxer!

Sounds a little bit like he had some Sean Taylor in him

Fair enough, aria.

[cowboyblue22]

all this does is add more to the show there rating were down last season so they are going to do something to help make sure that don't happen this season

 

[DFWJC]

Ha! I mean the over protected clowns playing offense.

Going over the middle is a picnic these days

 

[DFWJC]

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).

 

[DFWJC]

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

Oh nos
