Semi-OT: The No Fun League (NFL) Will Allow Certain TD Celebrations Again
I am very happy about this development. Players SHOULD be able to celebrate touchdowns in fun and creative ways. If an opposing player doesn't like it....stop them from getting into the endzone!

Roger Goodell is expected to tell NFL owners group celebrations, using ball as prop after TDs, going to ground, snow angels are now allowed.

Too bad I will miss these while NOT watching the NFL.
but how many pumps are allowed?
Only two. No more.
Verified. AB found out the hard way
The slow motion makes it SOOO much more disturbing.
Fantastic. I absolutely love fun.
Riverdance!!!
Keeping their eye on the really important issues, as usual.
I miss me some TO celebrations though I never cheered for any of his teams

I cannot believe this! The great man, Roger Goodell, has lost my support on this one. He's been the perfect at his job thus far. LOL.
Entertainment allowing participants to..... entertain? Crazy.
I hate the NFL, top to bottom.
It is really odd to love High School and College Football as much as I do but loathe the NFL to this extent. Part of the reason I hate seeing players graduate or leave early because I know I won't be watching them play anymore.
Always and forever.
but he's only symptomatic to the real problem.
The only thing I hate more than the NFL is the people who show up on NFL threads just to talk about how much they hate the NFL.
Everybody in the NBA is "lazy".
All soccer players dive constantly.
What else?
And MSU is an overgrown community college?
"The Simpsons hasn't been good in 15 years!"
Speight is better than Peters.
There's only two things I hate! People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch!
really wasn't going to talk about my dislike for it when I clicked on the thread, but then I read the OP which said basically that "celebrations will be allowed, but not this, this, this, this, this, or this." It is just a completely NFL move and enforced my hatred for the league.
Where in the OP did you read that?
I thought the quote said "are not allowed," instead of "are now allowed." So basically, I thought it said that "you can now do more creative celebrations, except this very long list of specific ones that are still outlawed."
So I retract my comment, I still hate the NFL, but there was nothing particularly hateable in this thread.
unwatchable.
Did Roger finally see Any Given Sunday?
I heard he is thinking about bringing Playmakers back!
Finally something he's done that I can get on board with.
These guys are entertainers at the end of the day. They have no job if people aren't interested in watching them play. Let them entertain.
The Ickey Shuffle makes a comeback
I'm not sure Ickey is in any shape to play in the NFL at this point.
It did.
Get some cold cuts. Get some cold cuts.
They are just so clever with their touchdown dances. So glad they are back.
It just makes sense now
Sweet Feet!!
Goodell also is expected to decree that Tom Brady gets suspended every time the Patriots score.
I used to be a firm "Barry Sanders never celebrated and he was the best ever" kind of guy -- but over the years I came to the realization that sport is pure entertainment. They should be allowed to celebrate any way they want so long as no one is endangered / nothing overtly sexual occurs. I'm also all for taunting, but that's going to take some time.
Taunting is the epitome of poor sportsmanship, it should never be tolerated. Celebrating is fine with me as long as it doesn't get out of hand like TO pulling the sharpie out and signing a ball. Barry was the ultimate though, and his play was far far far more entertaining than watching some overpaid pansy practicing his moves for the club later that night. I personally love the way celebrations are in college, strictly with their teammates. The game is what is entertaining to me. Shucking and jiving for the camera is so lame. The NFL needs to add entertainment to their games though, because the league is pretty boring.
A wise philosopher once said, "Just dance, gonna be okay ... Just dance"
....what, guys who think they can dance?
