High step into end zone = Unsportsmanlike?

You mean, what ever happened to Barry Sanders? I miss him and his non-celebrations.

I would much rather see flags thrown on defenders that make a scene after a meaningless tackle than guys that are celebrating a touchdown.

Some Dolphin Cornerback got a pretty good hit on a receiver after a 15 yard reception on 3rd and 10. He went into some routine that looked straight out of Dance Fever.

George Teague should be allowed to be on the field at all times to "enforce" excessive celebrations, like his classic owning of Owens back in the day...

Celebrating is part of the game, it is a game very much played on emotion. What I can't stand though is all these "look at me" celebrations and I agree with those being flagged. Jump around and high five your teammates who just helped you get to the end zone or make the big sack and get pumped up. But please lay off these 'drawing attention to yourself as if you just singlehandedly made the play and your teammates are a bunch of dogs' celebrations. And no celebrating when you are down by two scores either, those ones really show how much the player cares about himself related to how much he cares about his team.

LOL Bruce. Nothing like mixing in a little Deney Terrio into your sports talk (which I am sure will sail over Scav's head, kid's too young).
