Let the celebrations begin

[feldspar]

Meh.

I think some of these celebrations are just plain embarrassing and idiotic. Whatever.

Sometimes, you see player make a tackle for a two-yard loss and behave as though they just won the Super Bowl as a result too...doesn't even matter if their team was down 20 points at the time or if they wind up losing the game, apparently.

I'm not really a fan of end zone celebrations, but at the same time it's a non-issue with me. If that's what they want to do, then let them.

I call that "Aaron Maybin syndrome."

I don't like the change. I watch football because I enjoy the game, not the antics.

I agree.

The world is already chock full of braggadocio and in-your-face. I get nothing from watching strutting, crowing multi-millionaires act like a petulant child, as if the world revolves around them because they made a tackle.

The whole penalty policy was beyond stupid. It's one thing to roll our eyes at some of these celebrations but to throw a flag was wrong.

LOL. There it is. The line. Not gray at all. Two pumps good. Three pumps flag.

I actually hate these mindless, choreographed "celebrations. I consider them stupid. I really miss the days of Jim Brown and other classy players handing the ball to the official and trotting off the field.

Kick it old school and stay classy like Barry Sanders did...

I really don't mind them bringing back the celebrations though...a lot of them were very creative and fun to see.

But yes, don't drag it out.

I agree with this. I've never had much of a problem with a celebration that shows some imagination.

As far as Barry Sanders...any celebration he could come up with would have been anticlimatic. The way he got to the endzone was the celebration.
