End Zone celebration
 

Did anyone see Wes Welkers snow angel touchdown celebration? I and my kids thought it was fantastic! He was fined $10,000 for it. Of all the rules in the NFL this one kills me! Remember the Redskin Fun Bunch? That was great!

I know this isn't a Redskin post but does this bother anyone else?

In such a emotional game for players as well as fans to penalize for a celebration somehow seems ridiculous! Don't tell me you guys are not jumping of your chairs when we score. I do. How do they expect them to just walk out of the endzone.

I saw it. It was cool but i guess you have to punish him like you do the others. they should have about five to ten seconds to celebrate as long as they don't taunt. I still don't see how they let them do the Lambau leap and don't say anything.

Well, with the Welker thing, it wasn't about the amount of time. It's that now players are not allowed to go to the ground, or something to that effect.

Idiots like Ocho Cinco and TO are to blame for their antics and the rules being enforced to prevent that type of behavior.

I guess but it just seems to take somthing special out of the game. I think the fines are ok but should be used with more caution. Taunting? Where's the dresses.

If they want to perform in the endzone I suggest they sign for American Idol or something like that. I say just play the game, a celebration is ok, but when it becomes a show of what can I do to outdo the other guy's celebration; that's when the line should be drawn.

you're bringing this further than the original content. I don't think they should sing. To me it's no differant than after a sack going into defensive territory and celebrating. It adds excitement! And fules the D That's all I'm saying. The fun bunch was not a taunt but a celebration that fired up the team and the fans. I don't know personally I miss it.

I think SF was exaggerating. And what he was getting at, if you wanna perform, go on AI and that the endzone is not a place to showoff.

I hate the rule. period. if you score then celebrate. I LOVED THE FUN BUNCH. If you don't want the other side to celebrate stop them from scoring. seems simple enough.

Re: End Zone celebration
 

yes,I enjoyed the Welker snow angel,but if T.O. would have done it,would you have enjoyed that? Probably not,but yeah,I think NFL stands for no fun league

Re: End Zone celebration
 

I like anything spontaneous without props that isn't meant as a taunt.

Re: End Zone celebration
 

they should get 20 seconds after the TD is ruled good. haha. for real though..."NO CELEBRATIONS" is a shit rule. i agree with most of the rulebook. But that rule is just NO FUN.

I realize that I was only being jokingly sarcastic because he mentioned AI. No worries!
