Not sure my age (64) has anything to do with the topic but I'm sick of seeing this crap. Remember when Thurman would score and just hand the ref the ball? Act like you've been there before.

I definitely remember Thurman doing that; it's one of the last images I have of him in my mind.

 

I think older fans will tend to agree with you, while younger kids will think the flashy show-boat crap is cool.

 

It's just how it is.

I know it's been discussed, and mods delete if you see fit. These defensive interceptions and fumble recoveries with endzone celebrations are getting out of hand! C'mon man...enough already. To me it's the same as delay of game, taunting or unsportsmanlike conduct. Too much look at me stuff. What do ya'll think?

completely agree!

I find it funny when the play gets overturned by a flag...The look of idiots appear over the faces while they finish the celebration!

When did this first start? around 2015 maybe?

I don’t care what players do if the play is over. I’m not a fan of showboating during the play, because it can directly impact the game. I can’t stand backflips, finger pointing, or dancing before reaching the end zone. Those antics can cost your team points, but post play celebrations don’t cause any harm, so I couldn’t care less.

you bring up a good point.  The problem with penalties like taunting, roughing the passer, and illegal blocks is that there’s a lot of nuance to each infraction.  As a result the calls have been very inconsistent.  IMO I think the taunting penalties are an absolute joke because like you said - there’s plenty of “taunting” that doesn’t get called.

It's annoying, but it's better than when the NFL was rabbidly enforcing excessive celebration penalties. I still have PTSD whenever I see a player go to the ground celebrating!

But yes, it's obnoxious to see people run all the way to the other side of the field just to pose. Perhaps they could specifically call those types of celebrations as delay of game penalties? I hate taunting/celebration flags, but there has to be a limit to prevent such extensive/time consuming ones.

Hate to break it to you weiners, but it was my generation who worked on ARPANET. I in particular developed TCP/IP protocol routines so you you could enjoy your porn, video games and social media on your beloved internet.


I couldn’t be more pleased that Marcus Aurelius came to defend Spartacus for being an old man. Super on brand.
