Nick Barnett does his sword.
Donald Driver does his first down shimmer.
JerMichael Finley does his running while pointing.
Aaron Rodgers does his belt.
There's many more, add to it if you wish. Are these excessive or merited? Also, do we condone Driver's because we love him and blast Nick's because we feel he underperforms?

I do think there is a double standard when it comes to what we see as excessive and that which we love.
I have always said that one of the first things that tells me "This is Packer football" and gives me goosebumps is a Donald Driver shimmy. Even if we are losing, it gives me a lift and let's me know we will fight - I would assume it has a rallying effect on alot of other people too.
Nick Barnett's Samurai celebration I don't mind, but it has irked me when it has been done at, what I see, as inappropriate times - such as after getting pwned for three quarters. But of course, I have no qualms about saying there is a double standard.
Driver is also the most consistent offensive player.
Barnett can be a great player but needs to be consistent all the time, in areas that statistics don't really tell.
Zero2Cool is my captain.
