Show Boating In The NFL
You have seen it time and time again the WR makes a touchdown and then he starts in on a “Celebration”. Here in Seattle DT Rocky Bernard would do the “Sugar Bear Shake” after sacking the oppositions QB.
How do you feel about it? There seems to be two camps. Those who like it and say it’s just them having fun and then there are those who feel that it is classless and is an example of the player trying to make the game about him and is nothing more then “Show Boating”.
Do you feel it’s different depending on the player or the celebration? For example was Terrell Owens pulling out a Sharpie as bad as Chad Ochocinco putting on a mock Hall of Fame jacket?or does it matter what the player has done and how he celebrates?
Personally I like to see the players having fun until it is an attempt to show up the other team. T.O. Dancing on the Dallas Star should have got him suspended. Joe Horns Cell phone incident was fine in my opinion. Celebrating when you make a first down drives my nuts! It’s you job, if you don’t do that your services won’t be required for long.
I am interested to hear what you think.

Celebrations, they are good entertainment and football is does generate alot of money from T.V. But you never see guys like Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice strutting into the endzone and dancing. When a HB breaks free and scores should he celebrate or should the O-line? I’m against team celebrations that are rehearsed but it is a team sport. Tough topic really. NFL No Fun League

I agree, it’s a team sport and I enjoy team celebrations a lot more then the individual one. Welcome and thank you for you comment.

The NFL needs to crack down on stuff like cheap shots and hits after the whistle. The celebrations don’t hurt anyone, and add a little humor to the proceedings. Having said that, I’m really sick of OchoCinco’s showboating. Then again, with his personal habits, he won’t be scoring (or even in the league) for that much longer.

You bring up a good point, look at T.O. He’s teamless and now blaming the media. I’m sure his immaturity and dropped pass has no part in the decision of 32 teams not to sign him.
