NFL Puts An End To Jared Allen's Sack Celebration

[p_rushing]

just start the celebration while still on the ground after getting the sack, then he didn't go to the ground

Pretty soon getting sacks will be illegal

Yeah this is crazy. Oh well I am sure they will go after the leap soon too. Which is just crazy if you ask me.

So would they have really gave Ocho a flag for getting on his knee for a fallen friend, not that Ocho would have probably cared in that situation but, what if someone else decided to do it? Not really that big of deal to me but, it does get on my nerves a bit when they do things like this.

I'm pretty sure that it's legal to go to a knee for a prayer and there isn't penalty for that.

My only issue with this (besides the No Fun League aspect) is that Jared Allen has been allowed to do this for a while, but is now banning it. I really don't understand the change of heart all of a sudden.

Well, at this rate, if he continues to do the celebration, the Vikings will be penalized 4 times the rest of the season.

Didnt the browns gets flagged for "jumping in to the stands"?
This past game after scoring a TD?

From what I gather after an admittedly small amount of research, it sounds as though the Browns had multiple people jump into the stands, which I guess is a no-no.

I'm just glad it's in the rulebooks that we're allowed to do it. Even if it is just one guy who's allowed to do it.

LOL. I don't mind sack dances but there are way too many celebrations on seemingly meaningless plays.
