Excessive Celebration Question:

Daseal · 11-16-2006, 04:17 PM

How do the Giants not get flagged when the whole team gets together and pretends to shoot a basketball (beyond lame.) That seems like a group celebration to me that's chereographed.

MTK · 11-16-2006, 04:20 PM

Good question, seems like a group celebration to me which is a no-no.

Didn't the league tell them to stop the group stuff so that's why you only see individuals doing it now?

Paintrain · 11-16-2006, 04:21 PM

The league told them to stop doing it in tandem.. Of course it was the week AFTER the Redskins game.

They need to either outlaw celebrations or allow them, none of this in between garbage, that is the only solution. And yes, the jump shot is one of the lamest celebrations in recent time. Those giants need to learn from the old falcons or current bengals before they trademark something.

It is lame, because they do it every play. It is very easy for an opposing team to mimick it, and basically make the Giants look like idiots(see recent weeks lol). I say do it only when you score a TD.

About team celebrations in general, I personally think the rules are kind of lame. Let people celebrate, big whoop. The league shouldn't have to run around enforcing it.

hooskins · 11-16-2006, 04:33 PM

It is actually kinda funny with these new rules. When a player scores, and starts to celebrate, all the players run to him, and it is usually some big ass OL guy who is holding his arms out, telling others to not get involved. And they all look at the celebrater, until he is done.

The whole way it plays out seems a bit odd to me lol. It seems unnatural and takes away from the moment IMO.

Im kinda getting tired of seeing marcus washington playing the air guitar, but it is a million times better than the basketball shot.

Washington slapping the ref's ass after sacking bledslow last year was my all-time fav. celebration by anyone.

My wife was asking me if the team designates a fat guy to keep them from getting too flashy and getting a penalty...

I noticed it after she said it that it does happen like every TD!

VTSkins897 · 11-16-2006, 04:39 PM

i think these clamps on celebrations are bullcrap. let the guys show some emotion. i like ocho cinco's, TO's (!!!), and all the others shenanigans!

kind of related: i also like when rasheed wallace cracks a yellow-toothed, pot-smoking smile and guarantees Ws (what is he 50-50?)

Haha, I love Sheed. One of my favorite players for years, I love his passion.

GhettoDogAllStars · 11-16-2006, 04:49 PM

I think the NFL should stop with the celebration stuff. I mean, a ref can tell if it's unsportsman-like ... and in that case, he should call a penalty. Isn't that enough?

On another note: if I were an NFL player, I'd never celebrate unless I just made an incredible play (e.g.: Vick beating the whole Viking defense to run for a TD in overtime). All of this celebrating for a 1 yard TD run is bullshit.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-16-2006, 04:56 PM

I miss The Fun Bunch celebration. I mean that was not to demoralize anyone, it was just a team gesture.

I agree...it's a very lame (and STUPID) celebtration.

It would be as stupid as if a basketball player struck the Heisman pose after a dunk.
