In one clip they are rushing up to spike the ball or get off another play and he's completely oblivious because he's doing his stupid celebrating after making a catch. Fish better put him on a short leash and Chris Long better slap him around if he starts that crap here. I hope he works out, we need him. How I long for the days when Youngblood and Jones didn't dance at all after making a play.
Is that what you'd do if you were a player? I wonder what everyone here would do after scoring a TD in the National Football League. Me, I think I'd spike an old dude in the face. Like Danny did that one time. Then I'd make that my TM. Everytime I lined up, I'd be scouting the back of the endzone for an old dude. And then? When I scored? BAM. Right in the grill.jap said:Players today miss the beautiful subtlety of simply handing the ball to the ref after a great play, acting as though that's what is expected, as though they will be doing the same thing so consistently there is no need to celebrate. :ww:

Sure, I get that. But ...... what would *you* do? Would you hand it off to the ref? Cuz that's cool if you would. I would just spike old men in the face. That would kinda be my thing.jap said:X said:Is that what you'd do if you were a player? I wonder what everyone here would do after scoring a TD in the National Football League.

If you score only every once in a while (e.g., a defensive player, special teams guy, a little used offensive player), I can see the urge for celebratory histrionics. However, a guy who is touting himself as being greater than Megatron ought handle himself more like Jim Brown or Barry Sanders, who just handed the ball to the officials. The psychological message to opponents is: this pay dirt hasn't seen the last of me or I'll be back in the end zone real soon again, ya hear? or I'll be here all day!
That's just one-upsmanship. I don't wanna do that.Faceplant said:But that's Danny's thing. You should one up him and look for people in wheelchairs to push over. THAT would be unique.

Maybe I could pants a referee everytime I scored. That would be kinda cool.
Meh. I'd still do it once. Just to say I did it. :hehe:jap said:X said:That's just one-upsmanship. I don't wanna do that.Faceplant said:But that's Danny's thing. You should one up him and look for people in wheelchairs to push over. THAT would be unique.

Yeah, right!!! :cheese: I know you're clowning here but you would be out of the league in a nanosecond after the first ref pants-ing. Refs and officials in general represent the authority of the league, and no sports league takes kindly to being insulted by players.
