To some this is coddling or pampering the player and to others it is a tactical move by Marvin to keep the player happy so he can work with them later.

He was not worried about jabbing the NFL decision makers.

I guess the Owners of the Teams voted on the TD celebrations rule.

If so, did Mike Brown vote for the change.

If Mike voted No, then his hands are clean according to Marvin.

If Mike voted Yes, then Marvin has indirectly implied that Mike Brown voted for a rule change that is bad for kids.

Pac Man has a kid that Mike is concerned about, yet Mike just badly influenced her with the TD celebration rule change according to Marvin. (Assuming Mike voted yes)

Either Marvin apologizes to Mike for saying that his support for the TD rule change hurts Pac Man's kid or Mike must come to realize that Marvin is right and Mike must Publicly Apologize to Pac Man's kid and change his Vote to "No" on the TD celebration rule.

Doing the river dance and proposing to a cheerleader? Not a bad example for kids.

Tasteful celebrations should be okay. Performing simulated sex acts in front of kids should not be okay.

I never did understand the ball as a prop being an unpardonable sin. I can see where Marvin has a problem with this, he has enough trouble coming down on players for things he should, and this license to celebrate is trouble he doesn't need. The blame goes squarely on the NFL who has spent the last couple of years acting like a New York woman, waiting for any chance to complain and hand out fines and penalties for any little thing that didn't suit their mood of the day, and now they say let's have fun men and celebrate??? I'd have a problem with that too. On another front with the NFL and replay, it's pretty obvious how they wanted to place the blame on someone else. Apparently Blandino realized he had a conscience and could no longer defend the lame calls they made and told him to explain..good for him. This will be no different...have fun men and celebrate...until you do something we decide you can't, they have REALLY screwed the pooch on this on. Yet another situation where no one knows the rules until the NFL tells you what they are...after the fact. Somehow, some way, this will end up costing the Bengals in a crucial situation; and the NFL will tell you it's allright.
