Except the Eagles didn't get trounced, and I doubt if they will this season. I am old school, so not a fan of the celebrations. In the old days, they offenders would get "hurt" on the next play. It does seem like rubbing salt in the wounds to me, and not at all classy. Just more "look at me, I'm special, and arrogant, but you are going to watch me anyway".
I come from the era where the Redskins had the "fun bunch" and each time one of the receivers scored a TD, the group would get together and do a jumping group high five. I also come from the era where we had John Riggins that wouldn't do any celebration. Art Monk would spike the ball, Ricky Sanders would do a behind the back spike, DeAngelo Hall does a little slide to his knees with his hands in the air, etc....I really don't care if the players celebrate or if they don't. As long as my team is scoring more points than the opposing team, I'm happy.
I too remember the Fun Bunch with fondness. Pales in comparison to a group of players simulating the eating of a turkey dinner.
We did have the whole TO on the Dallas star fiasco. Don't want to change the topic to Owens... but adding the video for those who have no recollection of this.
What is with you softies "as long as it's not taunting" crybabies. That is the whole point of the celebrations and what made them so great years ago before they were banned. It added drama and emotion to the game. Apparently I am in the minority when football had high ratings and I loved it when players like TO would have awesome TD celebrations taunting the other team! Now you're telling me you prefer these rehearsed stupid corny celebrations?! Football is the most violent sport outside of MMA, yet you think taunting is too much!! Seriously? I would expect celebrations no like that in a freshmen highschool game. Not the NFL.
Yeah it did. I've seen it happen. You'd get clothe lined, or when you were under the pile, someone would stomp on you. They didn't put up with that B.S. back then, but neither the Revenues, nor players were worth that much.
