      Wouldn't it be more effective to do what Cam suggests? Stop him from scoring? Then there would not be celebrations. Done.

          Sure, what about the clown who celebrates after stopping someone for a gain of 2 on 1st and 10 in the 2nd quarter?

            Dwayne Rudd, former Viking LB, would celebrate after every tackle he made. The guy just caught a pass that went for 17 yards and a first down? Doesn't matter, celebrate like you just won the Super Bowl - and that happened on a few different plays I remember watching some 15-20 years ago. It's tough for a player to get better when he's already the World's Greatest in his own mind.

                I don't have a problem with in the moment cellys.

                In the instance you mention, the guy just looks like an idiot.

                Cam's Superman motion is fine and akin to Rodgers' championship belt.


                I don't like the staged skits and routines. Not that they aren't sometimes creative and even funny, but I just don't see how they go with sports. To me they are showing up your opponent excessively - even if you state that it's not your intent.

                GET OFF MY LAWN!!!


                Imagine though, if after scoring, Pavelski did a 10 second dance routine in the center ice circle.

                How would that go over?




                Of course, the only reason I wouldn't like it is because he's white.

                  I enjoyed the Cardinals defender celebrating a stop, even though the play was called a TD.

                    How did/do people react to Ovechkin when he started his celebration routines after scoring goals? I recall a great many people in a huff about them. Ovechkin's sort of white.

                          Hence "sort of white."

                            Amongst us Aryans, there's no "sort of" white.

                              I'd hate it cause he's not white, he's a stinkin BADger.
