Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Now I know why the NFL banned them; they are ridiculous and stupid,you scored a touchdown not won the Super Bowl get over yourselves. Watching professional athletes acts like members of a high school drama club is sad and pathetic. Spike the ball, do some chest bumps and get off the field.

4BillsintheBurgh Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The NFL banned them because the opponents were reacting by pushing etc during the celebration. I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before the pushing starts again. I have see issues already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, they should spend more time on playing better than choreographing bad routines. 2 minutes ago, 4BillsintheBurgh said: The NFL banned them because the opponents were reacting by pushing etc during the celebration.

I have found some of them amusing. I'm fine with them ... so far. What I'm not fine with is a lot of the one the field/routine play (breaking up a pass, making a fairly ordinary catch) celebrating, much of which crosses that line into taunting in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They're juvenile. Self-absorbed. I thought the NFL ban was stupid, so bringing them back is a good thing. But these skits are stupid. Develop a simple, signature move, do it, and get off the field. Frankly, that's what I like about Gronk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I sense that there is a fairly large age divide on this. I’m 36 and think it’s great. The team photo is a little played out already but whatever. Go have some fun, it isn’t hurting anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I thought the Mile High Salute was a little corny back in the late 90s, but it's tame compared to the skits being acted today. I tend not to pay attention to them, but they also give the cast of NFLN Good Morning Football something to talk about for a good portion of the show. Wonder how much time these players spend rehearsing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching professional athletes acts like members of a high school drama club is sad and pathetic. Spike the ball, do some chest bumps and get off the field. I agree. These scripted group celebrations weren't seen much before the restrictions were put in. I remember years ago the Redskins had the "Fun Bunch" with a quick celebration but mostly it was individual celebrations. It's pretty lame to mimic child games like leapfrog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakin Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's the opposite of 'act like you've been there'. It's 'act like this is the first time, and last time, that you'll be here' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not upset? You started a thread about it... You don't have to watch "these skits". I might even agree with you that they're very rarely entertaining or funny, but at the same time it's a great time to get up and grab a beer, more food, go to the bathroom, etc. I'm usually too busy high-fiving and talking about the play to even notice the celebration after the Bills score.

Bad Things Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'm normally the type where I think the player should act like they've been there before. Professional, you know. That said, the celebrations that I've seen have been pretty fun. Go for it! (I should say that I don't really watch a lot of football anymore, so my opinion may change if I did watch more of it.) 4 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: True. I remember. But overall, it seems we don't do much of those celebrations, compared to rest of league. It's probably just because we don't score a lot or have much to celebrate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't mind, but it does point to how shameless people are becoming. The choreographed routines, take time and energy to practice. That time and energy is shamelessly misguided and not prudent. IMO, better spent elsewhere. The over the top stuff just isn't classy. It destroys honorable gamesmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're corny for the most part but going off of that, and it destroying "honorable gamesmanship" which simply doesn't exist in the NFL is just a joke. I just wish they were better. These celebrations suck, TO with the Sharpe, popcorn, or pom-poms, or the star, or Moss with the fake moon in Green Bay, or Joe Horn with the cell phone. Those were all funny as hell to me. Or how about Stevie vs the Jets with the plane crash or the time he did the Plaxico and shot himself in the leg. The guys are just lame in the league now. 4 minutes ago, re enlightener said: yet you have time to write how you dont have time to worry about them. shouldnt you be worrying about something instead?

T-Bomb Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The NFL brought them back to help with the slumping ratings, but the ridiculousness of the celebrations is turning off as many people as the anthem protests... They know they have a league on the decline, next we'll see jumping shark halftime shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
