AS REQUIRED by law, over the Thanksgiving holiday I watched a lot of NFL football, the only league where a Mardi Gras seemed to break out on every play.
Is it me, or is all the celebrating officially getting out of hand now?
Apparently, there is no accomplishment so insignificant that pro football players won't celebrate it anymore.
They celebrate sacks. They celebrate interceptions. They celebrate a 2-yard run up the middle by some fat fullback.
If they pick up a first down, they celebrate by flexing their muscles Hulk Hogan-style, as if no one in league history had ever picked up a first down before.
