DC Tom Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Some of the celebrations are mildly amusing, but nowadays I find that most are simply over-the-top, or just plain stupid. I have to say the hide-n-seek TD celebration was just annoying to watch. I could be in the minority on that, but it felt like hearing nails on a chalkboard. That wasn't a celebration, it was a skit. If you're putting on an off-Broadway play, you're doing it wrong.
Starr Almighty Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Sorry but Robbie Anderson jumping into the V.I.P. seats and putting his feet up was awesome
DC Tom Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Yes it's me being an old fart but just hand the ball to the ref. Like it's no big deal beating the defense. That makes more of a statement than anything. It was good enough for Jerry Rice. Barry Sanders. Jim Brown. Most all HOF RBs and WRs. Should be good enough for these new kids. If anyone really wanted their celebration to stand out this season, this is what they'd do. Of course, they'd probably get ejected/suspended for almost making contact with a ref.
Lurker Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Perfect. Although you do realize this guy's been using a ghost account to stir up attention for quite a while, right......
Captain Murica Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 It is entertainment.... You old farts.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I think you should get a quarter of a point if you don't do a stupid dance, or if you just flip the ball to the ref like Larry Fitzgerald. Would make the game a lot better.
Captain Murica Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Sorry but Robbie Anderson jumping into the V.I.P. seats and putting his feet up was awesome It was, I think I enjoyed those seats being empty so he could do that more than anything. What a loyal fan base they have there.
oldmanfan Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 It is entertainment.... You old farts. Entertainment to you, showboating to us old farts. And in our day if we had done anything remotely like that our butts would have been permanently nailed to the bench
Kelly the Dog Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I don't object to TD celebrations I object to how lame they are.
stevewin Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I hate it when there's too much clapping during a TD celebration

I'm just messing around. Edited October 24, 2017 by Captain Murica
oldmanfan Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Is that when you guys played with leather condoms on your heads? PS. I'm just messing around. Actually in junior high (middle school to you youngsters) we actually had leather helmets. But they did have single bar face masks.
Captain Murica Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Actually in junior high (middle school to you youngsters) we actually had leather helmets. But they did have single bar face masks. We called it Junior High in 1999, but, now they call it middle school. Never got that. Those Helmets seem safe....
Fadingpain Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I remember when guys used to score a td at Rich stadium or even the Rockpile. My wife and son would say "dad watch him spike the ball" and weed laugh at how the ball would bounce when they threw it to the ground. Ive seen all kinds of td dances lately like the bathtub washing and the shoot the dog and the boxing match. Why do these guys feel the need to look like goofs doing these dances? At least Gronkorski just throws the ball in to the turf. Then there are these other guys that need to make a specktackle of themselves and they look dumb. They walk a dog or they pee like a dog but they look dumb. I hope Mcdermott doesn't put up with these weird dances. We are better then this. Agree that the specktackle [sic] stuff looks dumb and we are better then [sic] this. We should be more like Gronkorski [sic].
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Some of the celebrations are mildly amusing, but nowadays I find that most are simply over-the-top, or just plain stupid. I have to say the hide-n-seek TD celebration was just annoying to watch. I could be in the minority on that, but it felt like hearing nails on a chalkboard. Agree totally. Professionals? Act like you've been there before and plan to be there again. The only one's that truly bother me are the self aggrandizing "look at me routines" verses the celebrations as a team. So most of them... I guess it may be due to my OL days.
Big Turk Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster's celebration cracked me up...playing hide and seek with Laveon Bell lmao...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I have to admit, that is hilarious. I wonder if he has to pay for a PSL.
LA Grant Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 One of the smartest changes the NFL made this year was not only loosening the rules, but encouraging players to get creative with their celebrations, and the custom cleats and such. I enjoy these glimpses into players' personalities. Compared to the NBA, football players tend to be dehumanized -- that's just the nature of the sport. The helmets, "next man up", etc. Basketball obviously is more focused on the players as individuals, and though the NBA isn't touching the NFL in terms of ratings, it's approaching it in terms of national interest. The NFL allowing the players to express themselves more is a good change. So, I think the celebrations are a small thing but emblematic of a shift I hope the league continues to take.
