100% love hotdogging and love it when the players do it. Love the old time TO and Chad Johnson TD celebrations. But if you hotdog and the play comes back because of a flag, I 100% am allowed to make fun of the player for it. 100% hate it when people pretend some teams "are above it" and pretend not every team in the NFL does it.
Hotdogging it is for rookies and bench players who never see the field. Act like you've been there before. Every time I see someone do some stupid shit, I just want to ask them, "Is this your first time in the endzone? It's your first time in the endzone, isn't it? I could tell."
it is a tendency of a sociopath. not even a little bit of a fan of it. it will most times completely turn me off and annoy me. this is one of the many reasons that i do not like santonio holmes.
For me, the only redeeming aspect of this loss is that maybe BB will point out to Ryan and Ridley that their showboating was classless and I'm glad it came back to make them look stupid.
Showboating is low class in the endzone or out. Sometimes players hotdog when their team is 20 points behind.
It's no better when they're 20 points ahead, or even when the score is tied. Being excited about a big play is perfectly fine, being a hot dog by doing stupid things like slowing down as you go into the end zone shows that you're a jackass.
I don't have a problem with it really. Say your a defensive end, played your entire life to be in this moment, and you pick up a turnover and run it back for the TD. Wouldn't you celebrate a bit?? You career may end on the next play for godsakes! The bad kind of showboating was that NE player who jumped and grabbed his crotch in the endzone today. That's uncalled for.
This is a really good point. The message always is stronger if your team loses. IF they win, they think the coach is just finding something to complain about or wonering why they care since they won.
Football is a game of emotions, as long as you dont get your team penalized I dont care how players celebrate.
When you score, hand the ball to the ref or just drop it. I don't find this boring because I'm a football fan and I understand the play itself is what speaks for a player and not putting on a hula skirt and shaking your backside. But it's a cultural thing to showboat and/or taunt and since this reflects a bankrupt culture anyways there are those who are bankrupt brain-wise and will think it's awesome.
Or it's fun to see the players show their emotion. Marvin Harrison who rarely celebrated even broke out a spike here or there because it was a huge TD or he beat a TD bad. I enjoy seeing players show their emotions after a TD or stop or something as long as they don't hurt their team with it.
Patriots of course acted like pricks today hot dogging whenever they got a chance. First the CB with a forward flip into the endzone (a play he could easily hurt himself on) then you had Stevan Ridley high stepping into the endzone when he still could've been tackled classeless pricks. arrogant fucks they deserved everything that happened today
Yeah- TD flips are insanely stupid. I hope this never happens, but I just know that one day an NFL player is going to break his neck on a TD celebration and ruin his life over nothing. If it were up to me, I'd make that an automatic excessive celebration penalty and a 1% of salary fine, or $10k, whichever is greater, but it would not be taken into account for suspension/discipline purposes. It's better to crack down on that now rather than waiting until after someone breaks his neck. Those celebrations add nothing to football. Most of the classiest guys, like Larry Fitzgerald, never do TD / first down celebrations.
Hotdogging is classless and for dirtbags. Can't believe some idiots like it. Football is as great a sport as there has ever been, the excitement of the talent and the play is enough-at least it should be. Classless. _
