Jimmy might not be able to dunk anymore...

The NFL has been dubbed the “No Fun League” for restricting the things players can do to demonstrate excitement upon making a good play. And if “fun” consists of demonstrations that possibly delay the game while a key piece of equipment is repaired, it’s a label the NFL may soon be gladly wearing.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL currently is considering banning the practice of dunking the ball over the crossbar.
While not a formal proposal of the Competition Committee or any of the 32 teams, the topic is expected to be raised during the NFL’s annual meetings, which open Monday in Orlando.
When the NFL banned the use of props during celebrations, an exception was made for the goal post dunk and the Lambeau Leap. Last year, however, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham knocked the crossber askew when jamming the ball over it with both hands during a Thursday night game against the Falcons. Play was stopped so that maintenance workers could return the crossbar to its proper position.
If the NFL extends the uprights by five feet (as the Patriots have proposed), it becomes even more important to avoid applying extra force to the apparatus, given laws of physics that I once learned and then quickly expunged from my brain. (Maybe it was the Iron City Beer.)

Falcons ruin everything with their weak field goalposts

Punishing things that delay the game?
Maybe the NFL should ban fricking commercials before and after kickoffs.
That delays the shite out of the game.

NFL hates the Saints and Jimmy Graham

it is an inconvenience and I love his dunking.
how about players can dunk, but if it delays the game (i.e. they hang onto it and tilts it) its a fine. Multiple offense can lead to a 1game suspension.

Anyone think the people in the Georgia Dome put the goal post together loosely on purpose?

Sorry guys while I think its stupid to ban this I am going to support it.
Before you call me a spoil sport I cringe every time I see Jimmy do this waiting for the one time he hits his wrist wrong and injures himself.
I choose to look at it as a method to protect our teams investment in him.

Let's be honest here guys. A 2 minute delay to a 60 minute sporting event that takes 4 1/2 to complete is TOTALLY unacceptable.
