Player Celebrations
 

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

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"

Re: Player 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.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

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

Re: Player Celebrations
 

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.

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.

I don’t mind the group pictures, at the appropriate times. I don’t think I have seen our D do that stuff when they’re getting blown away in the other 59 mins of the game.

The group celebrating I understand. Those are pictures guys can look back on and remember the team they had, and regardless of winning that season they will recall the people they’re with. However, I cannot stand the individual scripted celebrations. If it appears to be planned out then that hour spent on the practice for that celebration could have been spent on getting better.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

What I find ridiculous is a player celebrating a TD with their team down four TD's with 5min left to play,

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Celebrations are for victories, not doing your job.

Imagine if everyone at work struck a pose and took a selfie everytime they did their job...

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Well, I'm retired, but I do take the occasional selfie after successfully mowing the lawn or taking out the garbage.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Pose and celebrate all you want fine by me. Just make sure you can back it up by your play and performance. Don’t like se by giving up 400 points in a game and celebrate after a late garbage time interception.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

I would, but I'm always too damn tired........

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Every time I finished & signed an eval I always struck a selfie pose & thumped my chest to make sure everybody in the office knew I did my job.

Think it annoyed some folks, though.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

And then you have the Jets player who was fined his lunch money and not suspended for using the ball to wipe his ass. I guess the NFL saw this was a team named NEW York not New Orleans.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

I feel embarrassed for them sometimes to be honest.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

The "doing your job" part is tackling, running good routes, throwing precise passes.
Scoring, sacking, or creating a turnover are causes for celebration.
Do people not high five after a big sale or promotion? I've seen grown men dance after a fantasy player kicks a FG, or when they get a face card after doubling down in blackjack.

These are young men. Let them celebrate their success. If the opponent doesn't like it, they know what to do.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Yep Scam Newton was the king of pulling the superman out after scoring a late fourth quarter TD when his team is down multiple scores. Pathetic. There is a time and place for celebrations and common sense should dictate when they are brought out. Too many lack that super power though.

Absolutely nothing wrong with passion for success and the game. Just do it at appropriate times and its always better when it's spontaneous.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

so don't hide a cell phone in the goal post?

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Yes please don't. That made me lose all respect for that **** Horn.

+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.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

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 ****.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Now a guy wiping his ass with the ball?

BUT PAYTON ET AL "TARNISHED THE HONOR OF THE SHIELD"

UH HUH!

Re: Player Celebrations
 

what about the "birthing" ?

Re: Player Celebrations
 

The Steelers have some of the most ridiculous "celebrations."

Again...embarrassing. It's not even funny. At least I don't think so.

Re: Player Celebrations
 

Yeah. Completely miss the point of that one.
