Come on WPR! What's wrong with a little celebrating after a job well done? I, for one, always do the shoryuken at the completion my sermons and the championship belt thing after communion.

you're young. I am a curmudgeon. I think they ought to act like they have been there before. I don't think it helps to motivate them or fire them up or anything. proof is that they can get fired up and motivated in HS and college without looking like a fool. But that is what you young kids like these days so have at it.
I'll go back to eating my prunes and drinking my ensure.

I don't see anything wrong with having a good time with it. Why must it be so serious, especially when their winning? Life if far too uptight and politically correct as it is. Sports are entertainment and ultimately mean little in the grand scheme of life. Why not take the edge off a bit with something fun? Maybe of us probably wish we had a bit more fun at work. Good for the Packers for doing so. Yeah, they have it made as it is, but that doesn't mean they have to act like drill sergeants all game. It's one thing to be arrogant and cocky just trying to get attention, but some good natured fun that brings a smile to the guys faces and isn't taking anything away from their game is OK in my book.

This has nothing to do with PC. I find all that crap just plain annoying.
Take the edge off? You drive down field and score the go ahead TD. Get a pick 6 or throw a 60 yard TD pass and you tell me there is an edge that needs to be taken off? Common. The score takes the edge off. The hopping around that players do just is so much grandstanding. "HEY LOOK AT ME!!!" "Yeah we are. You just scored a TD or got a sack or made a tackle." Nuf said get back to the game.
I don't think that is drill sergeant mentality. I don't mind it if other guys come up and slap him on the pads or helmet or butt for that matter on their way to the bench or huddle. It is well deserved credit for his peers.
I suppose I never cared for it but when all the extra curricular stuff forced a change in the rules to police it. When they pull sharpies out of their sock or do the snake or whatever it is it has gone way too far and should be shut down. They want to get pumped up and laugh with each other, do it on the bench.
