I’m not a Jets fan however, let them doing their ‘thing’.

I was okay with their celebrating. That was a real fine win.

And the Super Bowl isn’t about football, it’s all about the commercials and halftime entertainment.

Have you noticed that all of the commercials that are on during an NFL game (with the exception of actor Sam Elliot doing the voice overs for Dodge Ram trucks) are incredibly annoying!

I mean......really, really annoying. The seem like they are written by hyperactive jerks with ADHD. The actors in them (that are supposed to play fun loving, hip, sarcastic wits) come across as the "guy no one wants to sit next to during the party."

And the Superbowl commercials - terrible. Sorry, but commercials about slapping people in the face, flatulence, and everything else that is gross is not amusing to watch.

The only commercials in the last few years that I found original were the ones by E-Trade.

You're right about the "wimp" rules too. And about Limbaugh being black balled.

What Would Lombardi Do?

His father Tony was my Civics teacher at Beebe Jr. High in Malden, MA. He was 92 feet tall. In the Class Will, the smallest kid in school would leave their long underwear to him.

Which head coach was it who used to say that players should act like they’d actually been in the end zone before?

Also, one of the jobs defensive players are hired to do is tackle the offensive play who has the ball. So, when they do that, they’re just doing their job.

Imagine an assembly line worker hooting and hollering and doing back flips every time they install another part on the line. Just doing their job.

These NFL players want to act up like adolescents but be paid and treated like professional men. Grow up, boys.

LOLOL.......all this serious talk about such nonsense.

The Jets are Jersey Shore come to the New Meadowlands.

Enjoy the show or turn off the TV.

That said, anyone who can’t enjoy the misery of the Patriots and Belichick is just plain scroogy.

[God luvs America]

sort of like what the Pats endured yesterday?

people quickly forgot how the Pats rubbed it in the Jets face during the Monday night loss and ran up the score....

too effin bad....

[Carley]

He fathered all those children all by hisself. No wimmen involved at all?????

[hinckley buzzard]

I think they should all follow the advice of the immortal Paul Brown many years ago to his players on how to conduct themselves in the end zone: "Try to act like you've been there before."

[Richard Kimball]

... I watched Clemons of the Sea Hawks posturing for the camera after a sack in the early game

I know the play you're talking about. His team's down 21 points and he does that folded arms "Ain't I cool?" pose.

Course, if the networks didn't do a close up of every one of the celebrations, they'd die out.

[rickomatic]

Each team should get to have a troupe of costumed midgets that runs along the opposing teams sideline, taunting them each time your team scores.

Make those costumes tie dyed thongs, clown shoes, and propellered beanie caps, and I'm with you 100%!!

[Carley]

It was LaDanian Tomlinson (sp?) who mentioned God.

[upsdriver]

Yeah, it is the leftists that have destroyed the NFL.

[God luvs America]

Nanz is also an admitted Pats homer...

but hey- guess the illegal taping of opponents didn’t help belicheat this time around....

[Roccus]

Re-read my post. My complaint was NOT about the Jets’ touchdown celebration.

[Carley]

Coach Ryan had been hurt in a fall and was barely able to navigate. He said nothing would keep him from the game.

[God luvs America]

enjoy watching the Jets in the playoffs.....again....

[rambo316]

It’s why I don’t even watch football any longer. All BS self Aggrandizing that goes on by these hoodlums; I could care less. I wish they would put all the games on some cable channel where we don’t have to stay away from the TV on sundays. A good channel for it? How about, seeing where the league is today, BET and make it pay only so they take that BS channel off my regular cable lineup.

[discostu]

That’s a good celebration. I always believe in the Jerry Rice mantra “act like you’ve been there before and will be there again”. Really things have tamed down now, a few years ago it seemed like every play resulted in a celebration, defensemen would prance around like idiots for tackling a guy 5 yards past the down markers, WRs would spike the ball for routine catches short of the sticks. It really got bad. Things are pretty properly in proportion now, there’s still a crowd of prancers out there, but they usually save it for something legitimate, and they get it over with and get on with the game.

LT also carried out the jersey of Dennis Byrd at the start of the game- a former Jet and devout Christian and terrific football player unfortunately best known for the crunching hit which ended his career...

those “classless” Jets were given a pep talk from Byrd prior to the game which left many in tears...
