unsportsmanlike snow angel

[Harlan Huckleby]

wtf?

[MJZiggy]

Dumbest call ever. Well the call was right, but the rule is stupid.

[MadtownPacker]

wtf?
I think the penalty was actually for the level of gayness doing that without actual snow.

[mmmdk]

Terrible rule! Only in...

[gbgary]

Dumbest call ever.

right. it was so non overt. he layed there for a while before doing it...can't believe the refs were still looking at him. lame that they even threw the flag.

I guess I don't have such a huge problem with it. I'm glad that the NFL flags these morons for stupid celebrations. Now, Grant's was not that bad. But carrying props in your pants (bows, pens, etc.) and writing stupid crap on your under shirt is XFL. Furthermore, its getting old watching players go on the field with ugly shoes, bright colored tape and a bunch of other stupid crap that they shouldnt be wearing. I dont know why the NFL doesnt just have the officials tell these players, "if you're not in proper uniform, you can't play." Why is it so hard to wear the proper uniform. I can't go to my job wearing red and green tape around my feet. And yeah, it was xmas. But if you allow that, you have to allow it all. Pretty soon the Earl Bennett's of the league will be wearing horrible, bright,"look at me," shoes every week. Just wear the uniform.

Your sentences are in direct conflict.

I don't see how the dance of the snow angel is any more offensive than any other celebration wiggle, and certainly no more dramatic than jumping into the stands.

Wasnt DD standing over him when he did it? Maybe the ref thought it was a team celebration which automatically draws a flag right?

I agree!

I see it as just more Christian persecution

If that was two man act, then DD is very bad dancer

I thought he was trying to help him up.

that's what i saw - the penalty was absurd.

I heard in a previous game players are not allowed to go to the ground in a celebration. If true, he was on the ground, celebrating - 15 yrds. The commentators were discussing it in leau of people taking the "Thank you, Lord" knee after a TD. This action has now been officially entered into the American-English language as "Tebowing", BTW.

[MadtownPacker]

Who are you too question professionals??? You disgusting couch ornament.

lay off Tarlam!, I know you had your disputes - let it go, hot head.

I think I cleaned that up well.

[red]

that was just insane

Lame, Blue Dog, even by your standards.

Haha. He thinks I'm just stupid, but I'm dumb as a box a rocks, too.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I thought Madtown was ranting at me, as he is wont to do, so I just switched it to him yelling at you.

E for effort then.

By the rules it was a 15 yrd penalty. For what its worth it is a dumb penatly. Celebrations are awesome and fun. It is good to celebrate greatness and provides incentive to little timmy to try harder not to get beat next time. Up in the CFL you can celebrate as a group and have seen some awesome ones. The best was when a team of wr's celebrated like a bobsled team. It was hilarious (and the only thing of worth that horrible evil team has ever done. they are like the vikings to a packer fan.)

I have trouble with where the line should be drawn. I agree, Cruz' dance and ARods belt, hell the Lambeau Leap are all good I think. Pulling out a cell phone or Sharpy are over the top. Tough to draw the line.

[Smidgeon]

I thought the rule was against "going to the ground to celebrate" not "celebrating when you're already on the ground"...

[pbmax]

I thought the rule was against "going to the ground to celebrate" not "celebrating when you're already on the ground"...

Pereira tweeted after the game, in response to a Packerfan Tweet that it applies even when already on the ground. Expectation is that you are supposed to get up.

well, how about when teebow falls on his knees, and hears the angels voices

[Patler]

The key is "knee" vs. "knees".

One knee, ala Tebow, is OK.
Two knees, ala Collins in the Super Bowl, is not OK.

[MJZiggy]

a knee is a knee is a knee...one or two makes no difference in the grand scheme of things. They should just call it "no props" and let everyone have a little fun every now and again.

[pbmax]

Must have props, only then can Chad Johnson putt the football again.

[MJZiggy]

As long as Cruz is still allowed to dance like that (and he has no reason to do so against the Packers), we're good.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ziggy, I was just trying to say that you are a Godly woman who does a lot of praying

[esoxx]

Must have props, only then can Chad Johnson putt the football again.

And yet it's okay to dunk the ball over the crossbar in celebration. Guess that's not considered a prop though ala basketball dunk.

Rules are inconsistent and a joke.

Pricless...this one made me lmao

I come home from work, dead tired, just want to read my paper and unwind with a martini, and all I get is "yak, yak, yak." I don't want to talk about my day, and don't need to hear about yours.

[Lurker64]

I support an amendment to the rules where the player is allowed to do absolutely anything he wants to celebrate a touchdown (within the realm of basic decency) during the mandatory review of all scoring plays... and then he has to stop.

Then instead of listening to Pereira they could bring on the American Idol judges to rate the celebrations.

Something like this... This was on our local news channel... Says Paula... "It is what it is and it was brilliant".... yeah... right...

Of course we now have Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler so the bar has been raised to the heavens. YAY! Pass the Vicodin and Boones Farm please!

I bet you are a ton of fun to hang with, maybe you and Goodell should discuss the evilness of snow angles while having a spot of tea.

I like this.

[Rutnstrut]

Pereira is an idiot that even when proved wrong starts spouting some jibberish that makes him sound right. Just once I would like to hear him say, yeah the officials fucked up on that.

[Harlan Huckleby]

McGinn theorized that Grant got penalty because he used football as prop as part of the dance of the snow angel. Whatever. The stupidity thickens.
