NewCliche21 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I was just thinking, after going through the Redskins Mount Rushmore thread, that the NFL's new rules about, well, everything, would kind of ruin a lot of our traditions. 1) The Fun Bunch: I know that we've talked about it before, but that high five is unsportsmanlike conduct. 2) Darrell Green with the Tootsie Roll: Not exactly a uniform standard. $15,000 for a candy? Whatever floats your boat. Err, well, I can't think of many more, but can anyone else add to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What about Monk cutting the sleeves on his jersey? :yikes: That would get a fine nowadays for sure. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. Honestly, I hate the stupid Ocho Stinko and TO celebrations anyway but that's just me.

chiplohmillers#1 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I love the middle school humor in throwing around the nickname Ocho Stinko. I'd take Chad on my squad any day of the week. He's 100x better then any reciever we have on our roster right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinSabbath Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You're right, my bad. Celebrations like the Fun Bunch are chemistry-building, positive images for the league. Think of how many fun bunch posters were sold back in the day! It's just the new (sharpie-pulling, camera riding) celebrations that i dislike. And the league sees these as detrimental. I agree with you OP, that its too bad there can't be some reasonable guidelines to preserve the positive aspects of celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the players have fun. Who cares if it's obnoxious? Who cares if it's not EXACTLY like the uniform? I know that they're professionals, but they're still PLAYING a game.

More Complete Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I love the middle school humor in throwing around the nickname Ocho Stinko. . Good for you. I like it too. Tony Homo is a good one also. As are cowgirls, cuwturds, fecals, midgets, aints, etc, etc, . I'd take Chad on my squad any day of the week. He's 100x better then any reciever we have on our roster right now. Congratulations. I'd be embarrassed for my team if anyone acted the way he did. I don't care how good he is, the end zone celebrations and the HOF jacket and all that really get on my nerves. I didn't mention him to hijack the thread, I mentioned him because he's guilty of causing the recent crack down on overzealous celebrating. But, since you guys are boyfriends, tell him I called him Stinko and that I’m glad he's not on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time your done with creating nick names and finsihed with your coloring books your day must be pretty full. Other then the TD celebrations you have no ground to stand on. The guy had 93 receptions 1,440 yds and 8tds. At least he's in the endzone to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Please don't Mass_SkinsFan my thread. There. I fixed it for you. The way things are going the Redskins Marching Band playing "Hail to the Redskins" for TDs will be condsidered a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassSkinsFan Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I read something recently about the league mandating that a team choose whether footwear would be black OR white at the start of the season, and stick with it. Is this also subject to enforecement? What about kickers - do any of them still have two different (and different color) shoes? Personally, I don't see a problem with a bit of uniformity (they are uniforms after all), but view some of the restrictions as asinine wastes of time. BTW I loved the post about Monk removing the NFL logo - classic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think some of it has to do with the intent. Are you trying to rub someones nose in it? Or are you just celebrating a great play? I think the reason they have to police it so much today is that the physicality of the game has been diminished by all of the rules that have been implemented for player safety and the fines that go out for breaking those rules. Because of this things can't be "handled" on the field by the players anymore. In the 60's what would have happened to a TO or CJ the next time they came through the short zone after a rub it in your face celebration if Butkus was playing that zone? I promise you they would think long and hard before another celebration like that. But that's not todays NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Owens celebrated on the Cowboys' star, twice? Then one of their players came over and laid Owens on his ass? I hate that team, but damn, THAT is certainly the self-policing that I'd like to see more of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
