i thought we would have gotten a flag on this celebration but nothin.......i knew something wouyld come of it tho. i think its pathetic. this is what the games all about FUN.

30 thousand fine. not like they were over the top.... just a little dance.

but that just my opinion.

what if they all teamed up in 2's and celebrated or is that out of order to? lol

It's been posted twice that I know of. It's pretty silly, but, that's a "point of emphasis" this year for the officials.

Honestly, the NFL is EXTREMELY protective of thier brand. I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

After the drought this team has been through conventional wisdom would say this team needs a little latitude in this area!

In fairness....Ronnie's dance was hardly a dance. I could do better. And thats not good...

When things like this happen I tell people that the NFL stands for the No Fun League.

I think they were actually fined for "horrific" celebration.

I dont care and i dont care if they care, im glad they are having fun and showing some emotion!!! its been awhile since anyone had a reason to dance!!!!!

Dumb rule, needs to be changed. IMO, endzone celebrations (especially with more than one person) is something that seperated the NFL from other sports, and is part of the NFL culture. This really is becomming the No Fun League.

I do think we deserved an exception considering what this team has gone through. More like a warning . . I mean, we haven't had a reason to dance in 5 or 6 years (2005 streak we were already out of the playoff picture)
