TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

[kishoph]

This morning STEVIE JOHNSON did an interview on WGR, during it he talked some about TD celebrations. I'm curious to know what are some of the opinions on these celebrations, should they be banned, should they be allowed, etc, etc. Also what are some ideas of TD celebrations that you would like to see from SJ.

Here is the link to the interview.

He should hop into the front row of handicaps, take someone's cane and pretend to be blind.

It's one thing if you're in control of a game to have a little fun, but I hate it when someone celebrates when we're losing. Spike the ball and get back to work.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

I say as long as your not doing anything to disrespect the other team (taunting) or it's fans it should be allowed, also no foreign objects allowed (pens, cell phones, etc.).

I don't really dislike celebrations, but I much prefer guys who simply hand the ball to the official.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

I think they should be allowed as long as there's no taunting, but personally I don't like them. If someone wants to celebrate and act like a douche, there shouldn't be a rule against it.

It comes back to what Marv Levy told Thurman Thomas after an elaborate touchdown celebration: "Next time you get in the end zone, act like you've been there before."

TD celebrations are great, the guys worked his whole life to get to that endzone in the NFL, why take away his fun? Is he causing death, mass murder, or financial hell? No? Then let him pretend to ride the pony, he'll be on sportscenter

They get more juvenile each year.

Doesn't bother me but basically...it's played.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

I hate that the NFL takes emotion out of the game. Celebrating isn't my thing personally, and I don't like my team doing it too much. But when it's done against my team it makes me root that much harder to make the other team/player eat it.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

I am not against it but IMO players should not act like they just won the sb which is the only time really to celebrate anything.

The pats as a whole don't go crazy over anything because the goal is to win the sb. The get a win, move on to the next game.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

Im all for them. Let the players show some emotion.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

If they are done with a little taste and kept short I don't mind them

But I really respect a player who goes about his business and doesn't feel the need to do some quirky dance that lasts a 1/2 minute or more

The player that just flips the ball back to the official and takes a hug or a high five from his players is the player I respect the most

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

Even back in my less grumpy, optimistic days, I didn't like TD celebrations. Just hand the ball to the official and get off the field.

Re: TD Celebrations, Yes or No ?

They need them in the game. Half the fun of a football game is watching what happens when a player gets into the endzone. That whole TO star thing that went back and forth was awesome. It brought real emotion into the game.

high five and move on. Your JOB is not done until you win the sb.
