There's celebration, and then there's over-celebration.
To each his own, but for me personally, I just want to watch football. I don't need all the extracurricular stuff.

I agree to each his own.. I never really bought into the 'sets a bad precedent/example to kids' line.. I'm fine with good natured celebration of your accomplishment that's still within the boundaries of good sportsmanship which is what I think Johnson does.. Some of the stuff that TO did (Ray Lewis dance) and Joe Horn (Cellphone) were over the top but Ocho Cinco doesn't take himself overly seriously. It's up to parents to teach their kids the boundaries of sportsmanship.
