Is this lame or what?

No celebrating???? The fine for that is F"N crazy. They will let me dump beer, and mustard all over me in the stands if we score but if Portis congrats somebody he gets fined. NFL football policy will forever be lame, since it is a billion $ corp.
Whats next.... are they going to say no running with the football, only walking? That way the players can become apparrel models on a 100 yard runway. I dont believe the NFL to be anything more than a Consuming Corporate Whore. There should be an F'N council, why is there a tiny aged hobbit Mo Fo deciding the future of these mens conduct and changing our winters of enjoyment over this corporation? Money I know. But does a 1 hour game have to be 3hours long with massive commercial breaks if your lucky to see it at all with black outs to show 15 year old episodes of Friends, Darma and Greg or Ernest goes to Camp movies???
I just hate how NFL football has companies are all suckling off their teet, I just want to watch the Redskins beat the Giants ass on Sunday.

Wow! So the penalty IS lloyd's fault! He didn't pick up Santana fast enough! ;-)

I thought it was from lloyd picking up moss too but if you look at the replay, you will see another redskins player doing the same dance moss is doing...
Still stupid but they were doing the same crappy dance.

5K for saying "congrats" after an incredible play and just 5 games for attempted murder?

I think we need ANOTHER new commish.
AMEN!

Your guys mom is lame! Oh snap.

if its not planned, then it should be OK. Portis running to congratulate Cartwright isn't worthy of a fine. and Dockery doing a horrible little dance bit isn't worthy of a penalty. as Riggo once said, lighten up baby

This is lame. Fining these spontaneous celebraions hurts the league. The human element of the game is removed. It also stifles the passion of the players. Since Tagliabue became commissioner and FOX began producing the games, there's been a consciencious emphasis on the passionate play of the league, and the NFL replaced baseball as the national past time. Now, a player can't passionately celebrate a good play? That just stifles the heart and emotion that makes this game so great. I just hate how it can be a needless momentum killer now. The team can't rally around big plays. If the actual players can't be passionate about their play. Why would a viewer be passionate about it?

That "celebration" penalty we got was total BS.

Lloyd picked up Moss, big freaking deal.

That kind of stuff happens all the time, in fact the Jags did it later in the game and didn't get flagged.

When they put this rule in place I don't think that's the kind of stuff they were looking to get rid of.

Use your head refs.

The penalty was because Santana was standing there posing and Clinton came and did the same thing. Not cause Lloyd picked him up. The ref said that there were two players doing the same pose so it was a penalty. I'm pretty sure it wasn't cause he got picked up, but cause Santana and Clinton were standing side by side with their arms crossed. That said, still a bs call.

".....cause Santana and Clinton were standing side by side with their arms crossed."

That's pretty radical stuff right there...Arms crossed?

Now I can understand the neck slash gesture being banned but arms crossed?

What next? A loitering flag in the end zone if you stop moving?

Utter BS.

The NFL tried to crack down on celebrations (Thank god they stopped Steve Smith, his idewas were awful) but players like Chad JOhnson, Joe Horn, TO have fun with it. This is the big boy league, if that teams feelings get hurt when scored on GOOD. You got scored on, take your ichy shuffle like a man!

I almost shot myself in the head after seeing that...I thought we were going to lose because of some dumb bullshit like that
