I've been tired of watching these jack-holes dance just because they do their job. That's all it really is. I dont do a jig every time I cater a meal or paint a window. Does anyone else? When Giambi hit his first homer at Yankee Stadium and pumped his fist rounding the bases, Torre told him "Good! Next time, act like you have done it once or twice before." There is a thing called conducting yourself with quiet dignity. They should all learn about it. And just DO THEIR JOBS!!!

Well said DP. The guy who started all this chest thumpin stuff

was Joe Namath after they beat Baltimore in the AfC/NFC playoff.


I can still see it, running off the field holding his index finger high in the air,"we're #1".

Changed the whole character of the game, and that's all it is, a game. A great one, but stiil a game.

Football has changed along with what our society is like today. It's all about "Me". It's not as bad as the NBA though. I miss playing football so much. Whenever I scored(not often enough) i walked right up to the ref and handed him the ball. I think they should just put some rules in place like they have in college for excessive celebration and start penalizing them 15 yards on the kickoff.

IMO it all started with that numbnutz Gastineau and his stupid sack dance. Then, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson started doing the end zone thing after scoring. Followed by the Fun Bunch, or Smurfs, or whatever they called themselves, with the Redskins who turned it into a regular chorus line .

Doesn't happen as much in college because they have a much stricter "excessive celebration" rule. And of course, college coaches have much better control of their players. Not too many college receivers can tell their coach to eff off after they get flagged, like TO does.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I think there already is a rule in the NFL against excessive celebration.
I don't think they enforce it unless it involves more than one player.
If I was in charge t.o. would get fined just for speaking.
BUT....
Brady(who can't run) deked Urlacher and wasn't killed.
A little bit of celebration.
I'd give him a pass on that one.

Quiet dignity? I know it's a different sport but best example?
