well you'll have to show us a REAL football game as the NFL Aided by former Chicago Bears man mountain William "The Refrigerator" Perry, a bid to christen the new Wembley Stadium in London by awarding a NFL game to the English capital was launched this week. The famous venue hopes to welcome two marquee NFL teams when its doors reopen 20 years after the old stadium first hosted an "American" football game.

Here's my NFL football gripe -
I watched a few games this weekend. Maybe I'm getting old, but do the players really have to celebrate something every play? They have some stupid dance for everything, not just touchdowns or sacks. Every damn time someone makes a tackle, catches a ball ... essentially every time a player does his job *adequately* it's time for a celebration.
Imagine how much I could piss off *my* coworkers if I jump up and dance every time I do something non-crappy. Oooh look, I answered the phone! Now I checked my email!
Does this bother anyone else?

I just want to tell these millionaire athletes; Look, you're the elite professionals in your field. That means, act *professional*. Performing the basic tasks you are paid to do does not warrant calling attention to that fact.

Where have the class players gone? I'm talking Walter Payton, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Mike Singletary, Jerry Rice, Tony Dorsett, Emmit Smith, Lynn Swann, Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers....just to name a very select few and not in any particular order.
I think Favre is probably one of the last ones. Maybe McNabb, who knows?
Originally posted by RookRAKYou know what really gets me? When a linebacker or defensive lineman stuffs a running back for a two yard loss and then starts celebrating even though his team is down by 24 points in the 4th quarter.

There is still a glimmer of hope, though. There is an immensely talented young running back for the San Diego Chargers named LaDamlian Tomlinson. This guy has one of the most bizarre, original, absolutely over-the-top endzone celebrations I've ever seen. After he gets into the endzone with the ball, do you know what he does? He......hands the ball to the official, and then jogs back to the bench! I don't know if I've seen that done before in my lifetime.
