This is where player celebrations really gets under my skin - as much as I hate to admit this, Billick gets it right...

"Every time I call it a game, you say it's a business. Every time I say it's a business, you call it a game!" O.W. North Dallas Forty

I'm waiting for the 3 act play, with costumes and scenery. Of course teams will have to hire a "Director of Directors" to oversee the "Celebrations"

I think we just need more humble Barry Sanders type players who will hand the ball to the ref and act like nothing happened to counter all the look-at-me types.

Wasn't it Sanders who said once, "When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before" or something to that affect. I don't mind some enthusiasm but some of these celebrations have worn out their welcome. Especially when you're getting your butt handed to you, you make one good play and you act like you just won the Super Bowl.

+1.

"Act as if you've been there before !" - Joe Paterno.

Anyone ever notice what Larry Fitz or Jason Witten usually do after scoring a TD? 9 times out of 10 they tend to do nothing.

IDK, I'm old school .... some of these recent celebrations are a bit silly.

Silly? K they're actually embarrassing. Leap Frog? Hide and Seek? Now a guy wiping his ass with the ball?

Dude, I see some of this stuff and I literally get embarrassed for them.

The days of the Icky Shuffle are over man. Now guys do some humiliating ****.

You know I liken that to a "real" workplace. It is okay to celebrate something well above and beyond your job, but really they are just doing their job

Honestly I dont like the group poses even when our team does it. But we forget that these are just twenty something yr old kids getting paid a ton of money.
