Come on WPR! What's wrong with a little celebrating after a job well done? I, for one, always do the shoryuken at the completion my sermons and the championship belt thing after communion.

Good for the Packers for doing so. Yeah, they have it made as it is, but that doesn't mean they have to act like drill sergeants all game. It's one thing to be arrogant and cocky just trying to get attention, but some good natured fun that brings a smile to the guys faces and isn't taking anything away from their game is OK in my book.

Take the edge off? You drive down field and score the go ahead TD. Get a pick 6 or throw a 60 yard TD pass and you tell me there is an edge that needs to be taken off? Common. The score takes the edge off. The hopping around that players do just is so much grandstanding. "HEY LOOK AT ME!!!" "Yeah we are. You just scored a TD or got a sack or made a tackle." Nuf said get back to the game.
I don't think that is drill sergeant mentality. I don't mind it if other guys come up and slap him on the pads or helmet or butt for that matter on their way to the bench or huddle. It is well deserved credit for his peers.
I suppose I never cared for it but when all the extra curricular stuff forced a change in the rules to police it. When they pull sharpies out of their sock or do the snake or whatever it is it has gone way too far and should be shut down. They want to get pumped up and laugh with each other, do it on the bench.

haha, geeez. I'm sure am glad you don't get your way in this regard!! It's too uptight. The Packers do it in a good natured fun way and I see no problem with it. Of course there is a limit but I have yet to see the Packers cross it.

I mean, people can hate it all they want I suppose but it's just an exercise in futility.

Nice, Pete. lol. I like the shuryuken the best. I made Pete do it after Rodgers' first TD pass of the night during the SB. Of course, he nailed it.

I know. I said I am a curmudgeon. I said I am old. NFL will never go back to the old ways.

As I said I think the over the top guys ruined it for me. All that TD crap and the guys who are celebrating for making a freaking tackle.

I like the mini belt. It was subtle and since he did it for the camera, it wasn't rubbing it in the face of the D. It was for the fans at home watching.

I don't like the grandiose, show you up celebrations. I think it lacks respect for the other team.

The fist pumps and stuff as the play is going away from him are fine. If a little dorky.

I don't have a lot of respect for people showing up the opponent. There is no honor in that.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

My favorite Rodgers celebration:
The one that happens only once a year. When he holds the Lombardi trophy over his head amid confetti at the Super Bowl.

That's the only one I want to see.

Of course I'm a geezer like wpr.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Aaron needs to fire his barber. That haircut's awful. Also, he needs some fashion tips. Baggy clothes don't work on him at all.

I'd also hire a dancing coach. He was thinking too much when dancing instead of just letting loose.

Notice how Miller danced. She looked relaxed like it was no effort at all.

I agree with all points ZS said, but we all know he is not a fashion guy, he's a football guy. You won't see him doing jeans commercials (that was not in reference to anybody in particular......).
