Yeah... It usually happens after turnovers, and we don't get those. Logan Wilson isn't THAT guy either.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Bullying is not the problem.
Fights starting is the problem.

Agreed. Dodged a bullet on that one.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

It seems she is taking on an even larger role not only with the Bengals but also in the NFL.
Hum, the way the game has been pussified the last several years I thought it was already run by a bunch of old panty-waste moms who were afraid of the children getting an ouee or having hurt feelings, God forbid. Or am I confusing the NFL with the PTA?

Hell no!
I always respect your opinion, but we pay to be entertained, by the sports and all the activities going on!
The game used to be fun to watch! Celebrate doing good things and tell everyone to stop being so sensitive!

In other words, good for Paul Browns daughter or niece or whatever, but I'm more concerned about this team getting back to Winning this season.
The Bengals Front Office brags that they have maybe the best pair of safeties in The NFL, and yet they did not resign young talented Bates who hits free agency in 4 months. 30 years without a play-off win, I want to see Wins before I will get excited over this Front Office since Paul Brown died.
I'm sure Hillary Clinton and Opra and Rachel Maddow are excited over another woman crashing through the so called glass ceiling, but all I have is " Who Hah ". Good for her, I want to see WINS. The Thanksgiving Weekend of Al Pacino as Col Slade and his " Who Hah ". Until this team Wins, that's all I've got for this Front Office of 30 years of losing.
Uhhhh…granddaughter.

You don’t need to act like an ass standing over your opponent. I think they look stupid when they run ten yards from the play to flex or whatever.

No one is stopping celebrations.
We are talking about taunting.

Yeah, I can't really enjoy football without the brain damage and other career ending injuries.
I mean who just wants to watch amazing athletes display their elite skills.

Congratulations Katie !

I've seen, and possibly you have as well, some roughing penalties where I didn't see any "roughing" at all and I'd believe the roughed player had no idea he was roughed until the ref threw the flag.

Celebrating is seen as taunting too often.
What if celebrating is being so proud of yourself that the best feeling of celebration is to stare at the opponent?
See?

I hate that as well. I wish they would remove the end zone celebration camera. Talk about delaying the game....
And not to restart the "are athletes role models" debate (they are to some kids, whether they want to be or not) but the moment these taunting and excessive celebrations started making their way down through college into the High Schools and Middle Schools, their days were numbered.

If memory serves me right, not that my memory is worth much these days those endzone nonsense celebrations started at Pittsburgh or even in Cincinnati against us by them.. The only time I'd be OK with it is when we stomp Pittsburgh and even then it's still classless.

I 100% agree that there is inconsistent enforcement. They need to work on that.

Then you need to grow up.
What if the best way you know to tell a girl she is pretty is to grab her boobs? If you get in trouble for that are you going to cry about "Not being allowed to tell a girl she is pretty"?

Hopefully Katie straightens out this nonsense where taunting as a team is allowed (so long as it's utterly ridiculous, and they run 40 yards to an end zone to do it), yet taunting someone mano y mano is not allowed. I also hope she doesn't miss too many vacation days with Mr Katie.
No doubt and actually have a bit of confidence in her in this aspect, this and getting deals done.
The taunting rule HAS to go. BS.
Congrats to Katie.

Actually it is a dead on comparison.
What kind of total loser thinks the only way to celebrate an achievement is to taunt someone.

The taunting rule needs to stay. They just need to work on the enforcement.
