Title: The No Fun League does it again - spinning football = penalty Post by: Tenshot13 on August 06, 2013, 12:07:44 am http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/05/officials-warn-players-spinning-the-ball-can-result-in-a-penalty/
So apparently, in certain situations, spinning the football in celebration can result in a 15 yard penalty. You know certain refs are going to abuse this rule. Are you fucking kidding me? The NFL is pissing me off more and more these days.

But I frickin' miss the NFL I grew up watching. :'(
Soon there will be: - no kickoffs - helmets the size of Mark Kelso's - no tackling of the QB, to record a sack, you must pull one of his flags - all D Lineman must count to 10 Mississippi before rushing the QB - if a WR or RB gets ahead of you by 10 yds. you must stop and let him run - a game every day of the GD week F Goodell Title: Re: The No Fun League does it again - spinning football = penalty Post by: Landshark on August 06, 2013, 06:47:48 am Once again the pussification of the league has gone to a whole new level

I bet 50% of the people that read this don't understand T-god's Mark Kelso reference. Title: Re: The No Fun League does it again - spinning football = penalty Post by: el diablo on August 06, 2013, 08:29:01 am Why don't they just adopt the NBA's technical foul policies?

"These acts include but are not limited to: sack dances; home run swing; incredible hulk; spiking the ball; throwing or shoving the ball; pointing; pointing the ball; verbal taunting; military salute; standing over an opponent (prolonged and with provocation; or dancing." I'm going to barf. Title: Re: The No Fun League does it again - spinning football = penalty Post by: Phishfan on August 06, 2013, 09:42:59 am I'm going to play the Devil's Advocate here just a bit. While I do have some concern this could be taken a bit too far, consider the following. This rule was already on the books and I never heard you complain before. Also, who here hasn't been watching a game and seen a player make a routine run or catch resulting in nothing more than a first down (possibly even being down by a couple scores) and seen a guy spin the ball? Every time I do I feel like screaming at the TV.

Every time I do I feel like screaming at the TV. I'm going to party with the Devil on this one. I don't have any problem with a TD dance or little celebration on a big play, but all the posing, posturing and grandstanding the players do every time they catch a pass, make a tackle or pick their nose does get a little old after a while. I suppose it will depend on how stringently they enforce the rule going forward...
