This is nuts. I personally think so at least. They should be able to celebrate, they need to have fun.

Mark Prior · 03-29-2006, 12:53 AM

this is dumb

so long as the guy celebrating isn't taking a shot at the other team, there's nothing wrong with a wacky celebration

Chad Johnson is the man

Whoa. I think this is only meant to deter things that people like TO or Randy Moss do, though. Or those dances done to taunt opponents. Honestly, if you score, you should be allowed to do SOMETHING, so long as it's not flamboyant. -CSM

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 10:29 AM

Im glad this happened, that kind of showboating drives more people away than it brings to the sport.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 11:00 AM

Yes, but Don't you think that they should have some fun. And some people just wait for Chad Johnson to do something crazy.

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 11:04 AM

Well if your not haveing fun playing the game without showing off you shouldnt be playing at all unless your the best ever, and more people just show love for the game.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 11:10 AM

I know this is more just about TD celebrations but defensive players do it 2, whenever they get a sack or good tackle. Its not that they don't have fun while playing the game, they just get excited and want to do something. It gets the fans cheering and when the fans are backing the team, the team gets a lot of modivation. (Sorry I am not a good Speller)

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 11:12 AM

They should be able to do something but not anything over the top like proposing, i was waching that game.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 11:15 AM

Well maybe that was a little over the top but they should be able to do something. (But it was really funny.)

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 11:25 AM

I found it annoying, but if they do something it shouldnt PO the other team.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 11:34 AM

yea, but then again it could get the other team flustered and not focused on the game

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 04:05 PM

Exactly, games are better whene the players are focused.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 04:09 PM

well yes, but the players try to get the other team un focused so they can win

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-29-2006, 04:13 PM

After scoring a touchdown, usually you get a short break while your defense plays, and there's probably about ten minutes of commercials that can be used for settling yourselfs down, heh. -CSM

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 04:21 PM

commercials arnt that long.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 04:31 PM

Why do you want your players to settle down. I would want my players to be pumped and ready to play.

BrandonTragedy · 03-29-2006, 04:52 PM

yeah but you want them to be focused to.

Platinum · 03-29-2006, 05:35 PM

yes but I think they should be excited to play too

ShyGuy727 · 03-29-2006, 08:03 PM

About time. Act like you've been there before.
