You're not really addressing much of my post, just going on mini-rants with some little shots at me mixed in (you're a season ticket holder, I'm probably not, etc). Good memory, but it was a cousin, not a brother that played baseball for UC. Baseball is obviously a different sport though, full of unsaid - and very old school - rules regarding sportsmanship. Football is obviously a different animal, more physical and emotional.
Either way, I'll leave it at that and "agree to disagree" about the impact of celebrations on football teams.
I can't speak for Go Cards, but I'll address what I took from his original post and how this thread turned into a broad brush of 'celebrations ruin football teams' foolishness.
Yes, Chad Johnson's antics were causing underlying resentment and animosity within the Bengals camp! That's the example I gave.
I already said why I thought Hill came to the decision he did and I'm truly tired of repeating it, because it seems to be falling on a lot of deaf ears.
I think Lewis is a no nonsense kind of coach, and probably saw what was happening with Johnson, but couldn't convince Brown until the Johnson/Owens Dog and Pony Show. Once that circus turned into a 4-12 carnival ride, Brown really had no choice.
PERIOD. Plenty of trolling and foolishness turned it into a 'celebration causes teams to play bad' nonsense!!
