OT - Sio Moore

[J187Money]

Trash talking, yes. Celebrating, yes. Putting on a Broadway play twenty yards behind the line of scrimmage that costs your team a Time Out and possibly the game, no.

Also, not targeting Sio or anyone specifically; but, what is it with today's players' need to celebrate after every play? I see safeties strutting around after tackeling a RB who just got a first down off of a 20 yard play. When I was young, players celebrated a sack, a turnover, and TD. A defensive player did not celebrate after a 20 yard gain, he was mad, embarrassed and sulked away.

I hate all of the in-game celebrating, especially when a team is losing. I'm old school that way. But you can't put the cat back in the bag.

But they did get a TO, and they still won. So lesson learned, and nothing bad happened.

I think everyone pretty much agrees that Sio needs to tone it down a notch. But what he's doing isn't the worst thing in the history of the NFL. Why bury one of our own?

Same here. I did not play football; but did play soccer. I remember a JV game in high school that I assisted on a goal against a very good team. While jumping around and stuff with our heads up our backside, the other team pushed a quick re-start and returned the favor in less than 15 seconds. Lesson learned. From then on, especially as I usually played a defensive central midfield role, if we scored, I allowed myself a very quick fist pump and immediately ran back to my position. Celebrate when the game is won and over. I even do that with the kids (U8) I coach. After warning them after their 2nd goal in one game, 3 of my players got a little too happy after their 3rd goal and started to dancing around and yelling to the other team that 'they stink.' Well, the 3 players got to watch the 3d quarter of the game (we play 4 quarters to allow for a lot of substitutions at this age) from the sidelines. I hope it was a lesson learned.
