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.There was no question to answer since I never once said celebrating is the reason for Bengals playoff futility.
Either way, I'll leave it at that and "agree to disagree" about the impact of celebrations on football teams.
But am always happy to agree to disagree.
Once again will summarize with the bible.
All is permissible, but not all is beneficial.
Mearning some can handle celebrating and some can not. Lot of it depends on one's teammates and coaches feelings as well.
Example, loved Peko's celebrations last season and he had a great year. But many who want celebrating always want him cut.
Even though they said Billings was being pushed around by 2nd teamers with ease in camp before injury..
Also even though we have never met. Myself and Fred learned to play football on the exact same field in the exact same era and I know we were both taught differently.
But like I said am happy to agree to disagree.
