Posted by Michael David Smith on March 25, 2014, 12:46 PM EDTGetty ImagesThe goal post dunk, a favored post-touchdown celebration of many NFL players, is going the way of the Ickey Shuffle, the cell phone call, the Sharpie in the sock and all of the other celebrations banned by the No Fun League. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/25/refs-will-penalize-players-who-dunk-over-the-goal-post/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Goodell thinks Cuban is full of crap.I know, he talked about how the increase in Thursday nite games were giving the fans what they want....You know, supply and demand !!Then he turns and speaks out of the other side of his mouth and says, no celebrating by this or that and who gives a frog flatulence what the fans want....The guy is a total buffoon....

papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 But ratings for Thur games sucked most weeks. Many of the games were crap matchups since they have to give each team a PT game they ate many of the bad games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 They had no choice since they are looking into highering the goal posts, up rights. The wind will be bad enough making them sway, but dunking, given how last season they bent, could be real trouble. good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It would be so simple. They could get it down to 1 maybe 2 officials if the ran it right. So it makes you wonder why they wouldn't. Maybe they like the errors so they can control outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join the NBAI still like Smurf's laser idea better than extending the posts 5 ft.....But after hearing their explanation of banning the dunk, I can understand why they did it.....Although it seems to me that the 5ft extension will make it more top heavy and could be knocked off kilter by heavy winds now...Maybe they should redesign the thing to be a little sturdier than it is in the first place and we wouldn't have to alter the players celebration...

I am sure that is something they should look into. And I am sure they will have some type of cables on them to make them sturdier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Did they ban the Lambeau Leap? That's way worse than a dunk. The message is...Do not feel good or get excited if you score a touchdown. Do not smile. Make like nothing happened and walk back to your bench with your head down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max, it is not just about injury also about how long the game gets delayed if & when the posts get bent, the time needed to fix them. They could have split the difference and said dunking is fine, grabbing or hanging on a penalty, I suppose. However, now the posts will be five feet higher, that is both an injury risk not only to the players, the personnel on the field and fans but also a longer time to repair. I do agree I am not happy with the way NFL has gone or is going, but this was a pretty clear and right move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldno82 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 You just described JohnnyU He was always so cool. But as far as I know, every player back in the day was more humble than what you see now. Seems like it started with Namath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 How often is the goal post messed up. Once by my count and they fixed it in a few mins. Once is all it takes and I believe it took 10-15 mins to fix. What's the big deal, so players can't dunk over the goal posts, whoopie.
