Nate Burleson’s Touchdown Celebration Needles Cleveland Fans and Perhaps LeBron
Nate Burleson became a hero to sports fans everywhere over the weekend with a nifty preseason touchdown celebration. This is easily the coolest thing he’s ever done (:30 mark):
“It was a LeBron thing,” Burleson explained today. “I wasn’t going to do it. See, I had a plan. I had two celebrations planned. I was going to catch the ball, get up, do the shot by (Michael) Jordan (against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 NBA playoffs) and the three pumps. I’ve got it all down. I’ve seen it like a million times.
“But then when I got in the end zone, I was waiting for the ref, and then when I looked at the crowd, the Dawg Pound went crazy. They were cussing me out, talking about my momma, so I was like forget that. Where’s the powder at. Voom.”
Save the Jordan celebration for the regular season, Nate. Might I suggest at home against Chicago in October on Monday Night Football? Nice stage to pay homage to the best.

I’m looking forward to his ‘rock a bye baby’ dance when he travels to Florida this year. Too soon?
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Shouldn’t you actually be a good wide receiver before you start designing custom celebrations?
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 PM
I cant wait until her goes to Oakland an reenacts the Immaculate Reception

Nothing like a preseason touchdown celebration to make me yawn even more. C’mon Nate, its just the 2nd preseason game. IT MEANS NOTHING!
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 PM
You know what the funniest part of this is? The idea that Nate Burleson can save a TD celebration for another time. It’s not like he’s a sure bet to get more TDs this year
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:48 PM
Two nice catches there earned him the right to laugh at the city of Cleveland.
Burleson 1, Cleveland N/A
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:49 PM
I am not good with the strike through, so I will just note that the shootings were in SF.
/Raiders’ fans bring shivs
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:49 PM
To be fair, i thought this was well played by Burleson.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Raiders fans have enough experience with the law that they don’t bring their shivs to the game (thats premeditated). They simply fashion them at the game.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 PM
Who cares if it’s preseason? The drunks in the Dawg Pound were obviously in fuck you mode; Burleson threw it back in their face.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 PM
I need to work this into my vernacular.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:55 PM
Just had a little earthquake in my hometown. My house was slightly shaking for about 10 seconds.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:55 PM
His perception of space and time is as bad as Steven Seagal’s. What a bullshit explanation for a pre-planned celebration. I saw it live, caught was he was doing, and loved that it didn’t get a replay.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:56 PM
Nate Burelson is my favorite Lion behind Suh. Real cool dude.
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:58 PM
OK – we just had an earthquake in Pittsburgh
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:58 PM
Get your laughs in now because the Browns are taking the AFC Nawf this year.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:00 PM

too much fracking fracking?
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 PM
Earthquake too in Northern VA…
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 PM
I’m sure when he goes to Green Bay, he’ll simulate a heart attack.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:01 PM
Felt it in Boston too, wife called and felt it too so I know I’m not just having flashbacks.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 PM
OMG why was there just an earthquake that the entire country felt? Im kinda scared.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 PM
I am not good with the strike through,
if anybody listened, we would have a button by now, instead of the button that says “code,” which is useless anyway.
this is what code doesAugust 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Had it in Philly too.
Crazy stuff.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Earthquake apparently had its epicenter between Charlottesville and Richmond in Louisa County, Virginia.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
USGS says one hit in VA at 1:51.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
Ok, there was just a mini-earthquake in my office.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
I don’t think I have that much time to laugh, because I will be laughing for quite a while.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
Earthquake in Princeton. Apparently a 5.7 6 miles off the coast of Virginia.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
5.8 on the scale. Nothing major.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 PM
Yup, i just winessed an earthquake. My stuff was shaking for like 5 seconds. Scared the shit outta me.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:04 PM
The east coast, not the entire country
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:05 PM
I’m just outside of Philly. Our office had a mild freak out over it.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:05 PM
SHIT!!!!!! My desk was just rocking!!

August 23rd, 2011 at 2:05 PM
All’s quiet on the western front.

Mine was a major freak out—
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Nothing here in central GA, but apparently ATL_Badger got a little hummer in Atlanta.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Our office freaked out a little.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Yeah, if you’re in VA, you’re kinda right near where the epicenter was.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Nothing major.
odd though, that’s the thing. Not a tectonic plate earthquake, and not from a volcano. So that means it’s man made.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:08 PM

They’ll be feisty, but I don’t see them having the horses to stay with Pittsburgh or Baltimore.
Then again, if they both fall into the sea after this earthquake, then maybe there’s a chance.
The east coast, not the entire country
Same difference.
East Coast bias.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Perhaps an asteroid smashed Earth?
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 PM

Ha! Yes, that’s exactly what it means
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:09 PM
felt a tremor here in upstate NY (east of Syracuse). Thought I was just dizzy but friends blasted my cell with texts asking if i felt the shaking too

if it’s deep in the earth it’s not that bad.
it was fun being in my car though, thought a fatty was jumping up and down on the bumper.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 PM
How are we going to make it through a zombiepocalypse if you guys are all freaking out about a 10 second earthquake?!
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 PM
Nothing here in central GA, but apparently ATL_Badger got a little hummer in Atlanta.
Ha… yeah… definitely felt it… had I not been in my office I don’t know if I would have felt it. It was my desk moving and me feeling like I was losing my balance that weirded me out a little bit.. I figured it was just a truck/construction
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:11 PM
That earthquake is totally east coast bias as it was not felt here in the fly-over land of Minnesota.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
hey, it was my first time experiencing any type of earthquake tremors. Give me a break!
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
I don’t recall seeing it
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
So i got a question for you west coast queers…..Should I prepare for an after shock?
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
My friends felt it in Maine too. Damn, the entire coast.

I have an idea. Let’s live in tents on a hill, and sit around talking about our feelings, while saying we’re starving but making no effort to look for food. That should set us straight.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
USGS says 5.9 that was 0.6 miles deep (poorly constrained). Whatever “poorly constrained” means.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:12 PM
Office is on the top floor downtown Toronto, just seemed to keep shaking.
Not a big earthquake but a timely excuse to get into the desk whiskey.

It’s people who don’t live here who are more scared of earthquakes.
For us, we can’t believe people would live in flood, hurricane, and tornado zones.

I always forget there’s the New Madrid fault line running nearby.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Aftershocks are usually smaller, so if there wasn’t major shaking in this one you shouldn’t expect much else. But they don’t always happen so you might not get anything else at all.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Every news story I click on in a standard Google search is taking forever to load.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:15 PM

Memphis is totally fucked if that fault ever ruptures…. none of its buildings are built to withstand a major quake.

Dude, it’s an earthquake. I don’t care how strong it is or long it lasts. You always freak out when the earth under your feet decides on its own to shake you off like a dog shaking a flea off.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Alright, this means there will be an earthquake in Turkey or India within the next few days.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Stark, Babar, Beef and YYSA and west coasters, aren’t you afraid you’ll be part of Arizona Bay?
My understanding of tectonics and and topography leads me to believe this is highly unlikely. I’m on a different plate than most of youse but from what I’ve read L.A. (and San Diego) will just keep getting wider.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:17 PM
Ive come to the conclusion that I”m probably going to curl up in a little ball when the zombies come.

One concern is that the epicenter was right next to North Anna Nuclear Power Station.

August 23rd, 2011 at 2:26 PM
Again, Japan’s nuclear meltdown wasn’t the result of damage from the earthquake. It was a result of the tsunami and not being able to get power back up to cool the reactor properly.
August 23rd, 2011 at 2:28 PM
I’ve been in quite a few earthquakes and time really slows down during them – I always estimate how long they last as about 3 times as long as they actually last. 15 seconds feels like a minute to me.
