Do you favor stronger celebration penalties?

I favor the league worrying about crap that matters. Not this.

Now I'm curious...FD edited something out. Bet it was juicy.

Here's how it all got started.




Nope , this is how it got started..........


New York Giants and the "spike"[edit source (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Homer_Jones_(American_football)&action=edit&section=2&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro) | edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Homer_Jones_(American_football)&veaction=edit&section=2&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro)]

The Giants offered Jones a bus ticket to New York and payment for knee surgery. Known as "Rhino" to his teammates, he wore uniform number 45 in New York. Having seen players such as Giant teammate Frank Gifford (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gifford) and Green Bay Packers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bay_Packers) star Paul Hornung (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hornung) celebrate touchdowns by throwing the ball to fans in the stands, Jones decided to come up with his own post-touchdown maneuver. In a 1965 game, he scored a touchdown and threw the football down hard into the end zone. He called the move a "spike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchdown_spike)," and modern post-touchdown celebrations, including "touchdown dances," are said to have evolved from Jones' invention of spiking the ball.
In 1967, Jones had his best season, catches 49 passes for 1,209 yards, an average of 24.7 yards per catch, and 13 touchdowns, leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns. He was second in the league in combined rushing and receiving yards from scrimmage behind Leroy Kelly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy_Kelly) of the Browns. He made the NFL's Pro Bowl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Bowl) that season and the next.

Here's how it all got started.


Double post , sorry.

No I just did the post over so the youtube clip played here and not just a link.

The No Fun League takes itself way too seriously.

Fans just wanna have fun.

Don't really have that much of a problem with this. They are not flagging players for spinning the ball and home run swings alone. Its when they do it in front of their opponents, taunting them

So Alfred's home run swing into the stands, is OK right?

To me its two things: First, is it taunting? Second, does it delay the game? If the answer to both questions is NO, then not a penalty. I mean a 3 second home run swing into the stands does not do either of those things, nor does the "Tebow" prayer on one knee.

Players are only getting flagged if the celebration is directed at an opponent.
