Does the rule allow for him to do a finger tip roll over the goal post? If not I think what he needs to do is run up to the wall and do a slam dunk into the crowd. FYI, ones sitting close just cover your face

Fingertip roll is not a dunk

Glad he bitched about more money so he could make us watch him waste it with is ridiculous self-promoting antics.

BTW, the NFL fricking sucks for banning the actions, but the idiot hung on too much and bent some which stopped play a couple of times.

He really is a stupid piece of shite. He's a good receiving tight end. But he is one immature stupid a-hole.

One of my favorite things Payton did when he got here was clear out the trash. The show boaters and the loud mouths were all cut and our team was all business.

This stupid frick shows off after every catch and talks back to the coach. Take a lesson from Colston. Catch the ball, hand it to the ref and get back to the huddle.

I honestly don't remember Moore getting many excessive celebration penalties.

As for those who think it's preseason and no big deal, it's a big deal to the guys out there trying to make the team. When the ball is pushed back on a kick off, the chance of a big return increases (which is exactly what happened on the second penalty). That puts more pressure on the kicker and the guys on the bubble hoping to use ST as an anchor to stay.


No. it actually gives the coaches something to grade ON, IN STEAD OF A TOUCHBACK.

Oh, I didn't realize his stupid penalties were a good thing.

BTW...since neither kicker gets that many touch-backs, the coaches should already have a ton of film to review.

That's small price to pay when one is self promoting. It also helps the economy. Goal post aren't usually a fast moving item.

No, the rule states that he is using a prop even on a finger roll. Still gets penalized and fined.

You can go in the corner and argue with yourself.

You said it made players look bad because it gave them a short field. That is ridiculous. It makes Jimmy look selfish (bad). The rest will be graded on their personal match-ups via film review. Nothing more, nothing less.

At least he isn't flipping the bird at the other team. There is really only one petulant child in the NFL and his name is Johnny Manziel.
