    Great job NFL. Nice to change rules during the season.

    While you are at it, why not make the guy with the football actually touch the endzone, rather than just break the plane. In league fashion, don't make the rule enforceable until the playoffs.

    Mike Carey and his crew seem to have a beef witth Jeff Fisher and his teams. I think that could be part of the reason that Adam was flagged.

    I generally approve of the "celebration penalties" that are designed to shut up showboating players.

    There are dignified ways to take a bow.
    I don't get the impulse to push the limit of the rule.

    Part of the "maturing process" for Pacman should be giving up the little display.

    Well.......... if it is equipment, like I said last night, I guess the "Lambeau Leap" is out?!?!?!!!
    (Since it is the back wall of the endzone and is covered in padding equipment.)

    see, my problem with this whole thing is the league says "dont draw attention to yourself, celebrate with you teammates." the only problem with that is about 5 years ago they took away group celebrations and this year they have cracked down on group demonstrations.

    i was about to say the same thing... now dunking on the post is illegal too?
    ... wait... does this rule mean the field is a prop too?!?!? so i guess it's just completely up to the ref's discretion as to what is a penalty and what isn't... technically with this rule every celebration is a penalty because it is done on the field and the field can be considered a prop...

    ... you know... since if it wasnt there you would fall to the center of the earth and all..
