I agree, but at the same time I don't think it's something that should be legislated. hopefully (usually?) things like this stop happening after they get too ridiculous, common, or frowned upon by the fans. or something.

some of johnson's and smith's were awesome though

The league voted 27-3 to further restrict end-zone celebrations. No more sit-ups, playing golf with the pylons, or running down the sideline to propose to a cheerleader.

Meh, many players supported the new restrictions, so I guess it's not that big a deal.

id like to know which players supported this.

i guess is that it was those with no personality and/or who dont score at all.

the players that voted for this move are probably the ones that are disgusted when their opponents mock them, and embarrassed when their own teammates make fools of themselves. I'm sure a lot of football players have class, and don't want to see that stuff. when you score a touchdown, you shouldn't be trying to get all the attention on yourself. go celebrate with your team, it was a team effort.

I agree with you, yet the new rules don't...

"Dancing in the end zone is fine, as long as it's not a group effort."

The only dissenting votes were from Dallas, Philly and Tampa. (The vote was 29-to-3. My bad. 32 teams in the league, not 30.

)

Other rule changes that were more substantial:

* Allowing down-by-contact calls to be reviewed by replay to determine if the ball came out before the ball carrier was down, and who recovered it. In the past, those plays were not reviewable when officials ruled the whistle had ended the play.

* Prohibiting pass rushers from hitting a passer in the knee or below unless they are blocked into him. The officiating department showed low hits that caused serious injuries to Cincinnati's Palmer, Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger and Tampa Bay's Brian Griese, although in all cases, those would not draw penalties because the rushers were blocked in such a way that they could not avoid the hits.

* Toughening the horse-collar rule enacted last season. It now bans tacklers from taking down ball carriers from the rear by tugging inside their jerseys. Last year's rule required that the tackler's hand got inside the runner's shoulder pads. Only two horse-collars were called in 2005 and the officiating department said one was an incorrect call.

* Prohibiting defensive players from lining up directly over center on field-goal and extra-point attempts to avoid injuries to long snappers.

The only things I don't like are the changes to the down-by-contact rule...dammit, I hate instant replay, and this just makes things worse.

ahhhh you know what I meant, the high-fiving and hugging type of celebratory actions.

that horse collar thing is bullshit. i still think the facemask rule is unnecessary. bring em down in any way possible. i watch football to see people get killed and/or paralyzed.
