New York -- The NFL's competition committee is proposing a crackdown on rocking the baby, teeing off like Tiger Woods and anything else that might be considered taunting after scoring a touchdown. Luckily for the Jets, this new rule will not effect them since they have not crossed the goal line since 1998.
Spiking the ball in the end zone will be OK. And spinning it on the ground, or dunking it over the goalpost. Dancing in the end zone is fine, too, as long as it's not prolonged or a group effort. Almost all other celebrations will be out if the committee's recommendation to clamp down further on the frivolities is passed by the owners.
"I'm glad they let us out of the new restrictions," Justin McCareins said at his home today. "It would be a real damper to get a flag after we do that thing that you do when you get across that line thingy. What's that thing called? It's been so long. You know, the six-point whatchumacallit. It is six-points right?" Five minutes later, McCareins remembered the correct terms.
Committee chairmen Jeff Fisher, coach of the Tennessee Titans, and Rich McKay, general manger of the Atlanta Falcons, believe enforcement hasn't been strict enough recently, for teams that score.
"Except for the Jets, individual celebration was getting out of hand," Fisher said Monday at the NFL meetings. "The players' association was unanimous in wanting to get this under control. But the Jets have carte blanche. They might as well enjoy themselves, if they get one."
"If I get a touchdown I'll kill a fan," Doug Jolley admitted after his morning work out. "I'll drag a fan from the front row, grab his chin, and break his fucking neck. Sacrifices have to be made to get this team back on the good side of the Football Gods. And I'm ready to do it as long it doesn't cost us fifteen yards."
