Have never said celebrating is not why Bengals were not winning titles. But the problem is something, and if a player wants to try something new then so be it. You can waller in the past if you choose but I will choose to support these players today. Betting a coach or locker room leader suggested this anyway.
Make no mistake though, it was not me who told him to do it. But it is obvious that your take is the "show must go on" win or lose act a fool.
You once told me your brother was the top baseball hitter for the Bearcats. Ask him what happens if he celebrates by
dancing after hitting a HR ? His teammate takes a high hard fastball to the earhole.
Still think it was way more cool to have been Emmitt Smith knocking TO out of the Cowboy star at midfield than to have been TO who actually scored the TD and was acting a fool.
You probably only watch the games on TV anyway and only see what they show you like the news does the American public.
Said this is an attempt at Jeremy bettering himself. Lots of people change things as they growing up. Gave up cigs and hard liquor myself. Did not mean I quit having fun or success and am not sorry for doing so.
In fact I bought Bengals season tickets with money that was saved.
It is his life and we have been over this many times before this in threads going back to mothership. This is silly.
I'm not even sure how to adress all this. 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.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
