TD celebrations might be curtailed
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Bad news might be on the horizon for Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson and the other purveyors of outrageous touchdown celebrations.
The NFL’s competition committee is proposing a crackdown on rocking the baby, teeing off like Tiger and anything else that might be considered taunting.
This isn’t particularly new. The league has smacked down celebrators who went over the top before. Remember T.O.’s dancing on the Dallas star in Texas Stadium? Or Johnson revealing a small sign asking not to be fined by commissioner Paul Tagliabue?
Or, of course, Joe Horn’s hidden cell phone trick in New Orleans?
But committee chairmen Jeff Fisher, coach of the Tennessee Titans, and Rich McKay, general manger of the Atlanta Falcons, believe enforcement hasn’t been strict enough recently.
