Lambeau Leap Illegal?

[kepdawg]

:thinking:

Maybe it should be a penalty? If T.O. can't put his hand on the ground, why can Packer players jump into the crowd? It's more dangerous.

[piratebg]

Not to mention it is unsanitary. Who knows where those peoples hands have been?

The wall should be counted as a prop

[DU_stud04]

there should only be a penalty if you dont make it...... then everyone laughs at you and you get the flag...... just hilarious i say :)

They need to just throw out the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty all together when it comes to end zone celebrations. It's not like the fines help/hurt anybody.

So now it's not allowed to either leave the ground, or get down on the ground huh? :confused: :thinking: Hmm kinda running out of options here arent they?:doh:

Speaking of unsanitary, did you see the girl rubbing all over Aaron Rodgers when he did his Lambeau leap? Kinda creepy they way she was rubbing his stomach area. I agree, Leaping into the stands is ok, putting your hand down on the same ground you get tackled on just doesn`t make sense.

u cant dorp to ur knee and pray but u can spike the hell out of the ball and jump into the crowd? doesnt make any sense to me

I always thought the NFL donated the fines to a charity in that particular city; i.e. The Boys and Girls Club. I don't know for sure, but I remember hearing that somewhere. As far as fines within the team, don't the teams just keep that?

that TD celebration took longer than TO's

[Bearkat]

Yes, the lambeau leap should be illegal. If you are going to flag celebrations you have to flag the leap.

[kaorder1999]

yeah...iv never quite understood whythe leap is legal when all these other celebrations arent....

[Macarthur]

They're not going to do anything about that because GB is the darling of the NFL. God forbid if we ever do anything negative to the halowed ground of Lambeau...makes me want to puke.

[kaorder1999]

the first time someone gets hurt with the leap, either the player or a fan. they will then put a stop to it!

[Old Tiger]

I think the Cowboys lead the NFL in penalties/rules named after a player of their team.

If we had the rules back in the 80s like we do now, we would have missed the Ickey Shuffle.

Good times...:) :)

Definitely illegal. They are using the wall and the fans as "props."
