yeah, the new celebrations are just stupid. I never thought Riverdance was all that good. TO's were clearly the best. Randy Moss' moon shot was good for the sole fact that it sent Joe Buck into apoplexy. The group ones are the best but the NFl doesn't allow it anymore since they were jealous of the Rams doing it repeatedly in 1999.

I liked the one they did in any given sunday, where they acted like the ball was a gernade and they all fell to the ground when it hit the ground, but that is Hollywood, not the NFL.

I don't mind some of them, but I don't like the whole skit thing, where they bring props in.

Here's a proposition....

The NFL should only fine those celebrations that are deemed by the public to have been stupid or otherwise completely lame. (or any celebrations that rises to the extreme level of taunting, although that happens very, very little).

Have a poll on NFL.com of the weekends celebrations. If you're celebration gets more "disapprove" votes that "approve", you get fined $5000. I believe that will up the quality of the celebrations.

I say you draw and quarter those individuals who get "Disapproving" votes and really up the ante.

I know from an earlier thread that a couple of you were watching the Dallas/KC game, but if you didnt see Jason Witten scored a td, and after doing so he preceded to take the ball over to a kid in a wheel chair, and gave the ball to the kid. What a class act.

Now that is what I am talking about, but the thing about it is, that unless you were watching the game you aren't going to see it b/c they won't show it on Sportscenter or anywhere, they will save those spots for Chad Johnson, Keyshawn, and all the other showboaters in the league.

Wow, I am suprised, but did they comment on it, or was it just a continuation of the replay, b/c if a guy hands the ball to the official you are going to see that b/c they don't just cut out the replay once the ball is caught or ran into the endzone.

When they showed it, they switched to a different camera angle and the anchor made a comment about Witten being a good guy or something along those lines. You are right, they don't glorify it like it was a Chad Johnson / TO celebration, but they did give notice to it.

Well I guess that is cool, but if they are going to make a big deal about all those other celebrations they should praise that.
