Endzone celebration penalty called for..... falling over?

[JeremyHight]

They should just be like Barry Sanders. Act like you've been there before and hand the ball to the ref.

it wasnt that Barry acted like he had been there before. He was just to tired from all the North-South running on the field.

That couldnt be further from the truth.

cause u have info to support otherwise?

What? I have NEVER read about a fan frowning down upon celebrations. Where did you pull that from?

you guys both seem to forget that 10 years ago, celebrations were quite the spectacle. 20 years ago it was even more so an issue then it was 10 years ago. You see a celebration that is next to nothing today. The Icky Shuffle was one that really started to change things. Deion Sanders was another one. TO didnt help and neither did the Lambeu leap (which everyone does now)
Alot of fans are are from the old school of football and think that anything beyond handing the ball to an official after a TD is excessive. Then you factor in every 4th string WR signaling a first down on a routine play and it kind of makes people get disgusted about the whole thing.

for every fan that dislikes a celebration you will have 2 that dont care. But its any any minority in this world. They make a bitch and the NFL caves in due to the bad press....alot of which is fueled by the media

It has nothing to do with what the fans think. The league doesn't want teams planning celebrations because it will then become a 'can you top this' deal.

no fun after all.

What's the beef? He broke the rule, he was flagged. It's not like it was a secret.

He was flagged for falling over, not for spiking the ball. It wasn't like he was breakdancing or barrel rolling. He just fell over.

Off topic.. I'm watching the 49ers v Giants playoff game from 2002, and Julian Peterson dropped a wide open interception on third down. He went to the ground and did 5 push ups, do you think they would call that a personal foul in today's NFL? Just curious.

No, Mike Jenkins dropped a pick yesterday and did push ups afterwards.

I think its stupid to celebrate at all if you score when you are still behind

like Armstrong did..it was a great catch though

So this is off topic sort of but I remember when the Bengals were getting TO everyone was freaking out about how the TD celebrations were going to be epic, have they done anything good celebration wise because I can't remember any of them that they have done. Oh and this is one of my favs from the cfl

He should have a shit load as a punishment, because Kenny Britt was scorching his ass every play.

then his roly poly ass shouldn't have spiked the ball in celebration.

It was brutal to watch, truly brutal. I have NO IDEA what he was doing out there.

then his roly poly ass shouldn't have spiked the ball in celebration.

He didn't fall from spiking the ball. He fell from a chest bump gone wrong. Even though I do agree his clumsy ass shouldn't be coming off the ground ever.
