Had a kid on my Pop Warner team do the Cam move after a basic tackle – sat him immediately.

I never understood why thy took celebrations out of high school and college football. I could understand if the game was over an they were up by a lot of points but in a playoff game it was probably close. It’s a cool thing to do after you score I saw Dwayne wade do it in a game, and just this week I saw Johnny Manzal do it, people like to do it. The rule of no celebration needs to be changed and if they want to keep the rule it shouldn’t cut out end zone celebrations

I used to like the old Redskins celebration with the leaping high five.

The Fun Bunch! Loved that.

We understand he feels that his actions were in self-defense, but we disagree…Open to broad interpretation?Next time, make sure they're dead when you complete your defense of self so they can't argue after the fact./yeah, yeah I know... cameras, witnesses, etc.

I really like celebrations that include teammates (and yeah, I know about the penalty for canned/non-spontaneous celebrations).

West Meck doin work, they were one of the whipping boys when I was in high school, of course so were my boys at South Meck, although we were supposed to have the Leak brothers on our team. But then again Antawan Jameson was supposed to play for us as well.

Cleveland transportation authority were cagey enough to fire the uppercut-delivering bus driver today.

“The employee handbook says an employee can be discharged if he uses overt force, strikes … a member of the public,” she said. “We understand he feels that his actions were in self-defense, but we disagree…”

My kid has threatened to do the BJ Raji TD dance next season, so he demonstrated. Hilarious.

But I told him I’d kick his ass if he did it.

I like a good, creative TD celebration. Never liked this one, though. Always felt a little weird last year, watching Newton grinning after scoring but his team later ended up losing.

“scholarship offers from North Carolina, Duke and Wake Forest” and South Carolina and Tennessee are interested as well

I was gonna say, this guy probably has NFL potential, but when they mentioned 2 SEC schools, I reconsidered. Unless of course those SEC schools play him at any other position.

the fat guys on the line would take too long to catch up and organize a team celebration for the camera.

Tell that to the Hogs!

His coach (emphasis mine):

“It’s a good learning experience for him,” Caldwell said of McClendon. “With him being in the position he’s in, he should know better.

You could argue the rule is harsh, but it seemed like the refs were following already in place protocol.

I thought that was an OK celebration

after a TD only. supposed to be a 5-yard delay of game penalty, otherwise.

NFL refs seem to be ignoring the spiking the ball in the field of play rule
