On field celebration question.

Maybe Buckle Up, we in for a ride this game? Not sure

i thought they were planting their flag!!! but i'm 52 and not keen to new gen lingo

What’s wrong with these kids now a days? Why can’t they just do an animated fist pump and let out a “frick yeah” or whatever. Not all this shooting guns, buckling up the seatbelt, putting on the shades, etc.

DB's do it to show that they put the receiver in a seat belt.Which means that he locked him down.

I legit thought they were holstering a sword.

Since we are talking about celebrations, I also have a question



wtf is the deal with the celebration where the player sniffed his finger. Sometimes it can be followed by a first down signal or whatever else they do



wtf is this?



I answered my own question:

When Deshaun Watson makes a big play this season, the Texans quarterback often celebrates with a gesture that looks like he's wiping his nose.

It's something he's done from the first week of the season, and his receivers usually join him in the celebration after a touchdown catch. After a big first-down run, Watson usually makes the sign and turns the wiping the nose gesture into a first-down signal.

It's something Watson and his teammates picked up from Atlanta rapper Young Thug, who often raps about "wiping noses," and it's up to interpretation what the expressions means, but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with Kleenex

On Young Thug's song "Slimed In," the hook goes: "Wipe your nose clean, f--- your whole team."
"I'm a fan of Young Thug and his music. He's from Atlanta, Georgia, I'm from Georgia outside of Atlanta. Me and Will Fuller, and Bruce (Ellington) when he was here, big fans of Young Thug," Watson said.

Watson often refers to his teammates as "slime," which also is a Young Thug thing. Young Thug had mixtapes called "Slime Season 1", "Slime Season 2", "Slime Season 3" and "Super Slimey."

Beat me to it

That one exists too, but it’s mostly a seatbelt when a pass is broken up.

My favorite was the Arkansas DB's little "flappy wings" celebration....often accompanied by a Pass Interference penalty.
