[edit] St Louis Rams
I'm pretty sure that The St Louis Rams did not invent the touchdown dance in 2000. That section was a mess so I decided to just make a list of notable TD celebrations. Its obvious that Touchdown dances have always existed in some form, so a history of it seems silly.
[edit] name chage
instead of touchdown dance you might want to think about chang the name of the artical to end zone clebration. The reason i say this is beucese of the the cell phone stunt (you all rember that) also the golf club stund does that cont as a touch down dance or what?68.49.63.89 21:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Touchdown celebration
I just created a page for touchdown celebration that redirects to touchdown dance. Although I personally like the phrase touchdown dance better, I hear commentators use the phrase touchdown celebration more. Should it be changed? Dbsheajr 9:28 P.M. EST 30 Sept 2006
I agree, most of the examples aren't actually dances and touchdown celebration is more encompassing. (Warhol13 19:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC))
- I also did that for End-zone celebrations and End-zone antics as it is some times commonlu refered to--Yourname 21:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is just be concurring, Touchdown Celebration is a more accurate term because it includes dances, and many celebrations aren't dances.--DavidFuzznut 12:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
OK--I changed it. Hopefully, all the links are right. Warhol13 02:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Haha, very funny
"* Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Chris Henry adopted a unique end zone celebration in which after scoring a touchdown he is subsequently arrested a few months later."
Removed it. Nice line, whoever made that one up.
[edit] NCAA rules?
If anyone has info on the rules for excessive celebration in college football, they should probably go into this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbarbier (talk • contribs) 19:22, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Some Memorable Celebrations" section is out of control
The section of memorable touchdown celebrations has a couple of major problems, unfortunately -- the biggie is that it has a lot of uncited, potentially damaging information about living people, and so probably runs afoul of Wikipedia's policy regarding biographical information involving living people. The policy when running across such uncited information is to delete it immediately without discussion, but I'm not going to do that without trying to solicit help in cleaning it up first.
The other issue is that such a long list doesn't really belong here; it's not encyclopedic. A few (2-3) cited examples of touchdown celebrations is a good thing to have in this article, but this list seems to be growing into "stuff that someone did in an endzone I thought was neat".
I think restricting this list to those celebrations that can be cited will solve both problems, but at the moment only one example is cited, when two or three would probably be best. jhf (talk) 21:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adrian Peterson
I've noticed that AP does an interesting strut move as he runs in a touch down. He kind of leaps like a gazell. Maybe consider adding that one in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lhenslee (talk • contribs) 01:47, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Larry Johnson
Where does it say that LJ's hand-symbol is referencing his initials? He has said directly an interview w/NFL Film's Steve Sabol that it's a shout out to rapper Jay Z, because it's the symbol for his "Roc-A-Fella" group (http://www.gigwise.com/artists/00015118_Jay-z.jpg) -- as Larry is the only football player in his "crew". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lights Out4Ever (talk • contribs) 23:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
