Re: NFL Off Topic

I deleted the first part that would cause issue. Only part that may of been over the line but if something else is problematic I would like to know. It should of never been brought up prevously to begin with however.

Unless I'm mistaken, wwharton and Khelis have been involved in this conversation and we've been able to have it in a way in which it isn't violating anything (I'm assuming) until your post.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I don't think how elaborate it was matters. Cam drew no flag, refs didn't seem it excessive. It was a dance. House moms got upset over it. It's obvious why one guy gets **** for it but others get a free pass for taunting their opponents.

It's because he's so damn arrogant. Obviously.

Traditionally this behavior is "below" the actions of a franchise QB and more in line with the actions of a "diva" wide receiver. /SkipBayless

MA AG says FD and DK can still run but wants DFS to be illegal for those under 21.

And back to Cam....

Does anyone else remember noise being made when McNabb was out here doing the moonwalk after scoring TDs?

Re: NFL Off Topic

I don't. In fact, I remember a time when players would try to out-do each others' celebrations and the Puritan Priders' indignation didn't see the light of day.

Joe Horn hiding a cell phone in the end zone will always be the pinnacle of awesome on a football field.

The one that popped into my head first was The Sharpie.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Chad Johnson, I mean Ocho Cinco, is a legend when it comes to touchdown celebrations. He may not have had a cell phone or a sharpie, but he was consistent.

As was Steve Smith. I used to watch their games just to compare celebrations.

Re: NFL Off Topic

The sharpie, cowboys star, and dancing with the cheerleaders put TO on my Mt. Rushmore of players with the best celebrations.

How do you even think to do something like this? Did he have a phone at each endzone?

That's a pretty decent comparison for the scrutiny Cam faces now. I can't recall any specific noise, but I feel like there were some naysayers. Especially since the Eagles and McNabb had trouble getting over the hump. The whole "stop dancing and start winning" junk, like they have any correlation.

Listen, I've said it before, but I prefer my players to celebrate regularly with fist pumps and football spikes and handing the ball off to the ref. Generally, the dancing doesn't do anything for me.

That said, I don't think less of the players who do a jig after a score. Some are really fun like Cruz and John Brown's salsa dances. I actually like signature moves, like Jeremiah Trotter's axe and Cam's Superman.

Brandin Cooks had a fun first down celebration recently, where he pulled an imaginary arrow from his imaginary quiver to load in to his imaginary bow, then when he released it turned it in to the first down sign. It was silky smooth. Knowshon Moreno did a cool army crawl into a first down sign a couple years ago (side note: He fell off the map quick).

The people who bitch and moan about this stuff just have nothing better to do. And unfortunately, some of it is thinly veiled shots at something other then these players football ability. It's pathetic, really. The way I see it is, these guys earned the privilege to play in the NFL, so as long as they don't break the rules (like using a prop), you should celebrate because not many get that opportunity to be a professional player or score a TD or convert for a first down. In a game where the physical toll takes these players bodies prematurely, it's not right to criticize them for letting that adrenaline rush spill over in to a celebration.

You should see my celebrations after I pull in a big sale at work. If I was under the same magnifying glass as pro athletes, these losers who cry about this stuff would explode.

This sums it up perfectly.

Top 3 go:
Chad
Horn
Gronk (due to simplicity and class)

Yep, he was the best. To this day I don't see why the league had such a problem with his celebrations. They were fun and safe for mothers of nine year olds.

Can't resist that homer temptation can you?
