Tony Gonzalez sez, "I got out just in time"

[In58men]

@TonyGonzalez88: The NFL says no more dunking over the goalpost. This one I don't understand. Looks like I got out just in time.

[Bowser]

Seriously, no dunking over the crossbar? Lol, Goodell is a fucking joke. WAY TO TACKLE THE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS, COMMISH!!

No
Fun

[bowener]

Maybe it fucks with how level the cross bar is?

[lcarus]

Maybe it fucks with how level the cross bar is?

Finally, all those years of unlevel crossbars will be behind us. That was really a big problem.

[TimBone]

Maybe it fucks with how level the cross bar is?

I'm sure it stems from the Jimmy Graham incident last year. Still stupid though.

NFL trying to encourage more 3-point shooting teams to make the game more exciting

When do the players start wearing flags????????

[BryanBusby]

Ya and put em in skirts because they have VAGINAS

How long til the Lambeau leap is banned?

[penguinz]

How long til the Lambeau leap is banned?Hopefully soon since it is stupid.

[Bowser]

How long til the Lambeau leap is banned?

As soon as someone blows an ACL doing it.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Uh, yeah. Do you not remember when the crossbar was leaning over the endzone and it prevented a Matt Cassel TD pass?

It's like he doesn't get that the only utility his product has is entertainment.

You have to protect the fans!

Lol, I know you're trolling, but he's still better than 90% of all the tight ends out there.

[Garcia Bronco]

Lol, I know you're trolling, but he's still better than 90% of all the tight ends out there.

90...seems high...I'd agree to 40 to 60 percent. Maybe if we're talking all-around tight end I could go 80 percent. :)

[Rausch]

It's like he doesn't get that the only utility his product has is entertainment.

And all old Roger talks about is "creating a more enjoyable experience for the fans."

How, by taking the personality away from the players and making them robots?

Guess what Commish' - we enjoy hating players as well. I enjoyed watching Faulk puke on the field and shutting down Mandy Ross as much as I enjoyed a good Priest Holmes TD...

[ModSocks]

As soon as someone gets a concussion doing it.

FYP.

League doesn't care about ACL's.

[Bowser]

FYP.

League doesn't care about ACL's.

Point.

How about "as soon as some player gets an injury that could lead to a future lawsuit against the league".

Uh...he's not the one who makes these rules.

[Imon Yourside]

Trying to fire back at Cuban eh?

[Bowser]

Uh...he's not the one who makes these rules.

Ok. Does he have veto power over stupid shit rulings like this?

[scho63]

Mark Cuban will be proved right...Goodell is destroying this league for fans while reaping billions for the owners

[-King-]

Ok. Does he have veto power over stupid shit rulings like this?

No.

[Bowser]

Ok. Well fuck him anyway. Mainly for not being able to overrule stupid shit like this.

[TEX]

DUMB NEW RULE...Chalk one up for Mark Cuban.

[Steron]

I like the rule. But only in KC when TG scores as a Falcon.

[GloryDayz]

I think one of the owners should tell Cuban and the NBA to follow their lead to success... Watching 7'6" men dunking a ball into a 10" basket isn't fun, cool, and not impressive either.

So at least make it a one-point play in the NBA, or help them get better by just getting rid of the fag dunks!

[GloryDayz]

Oh, and fuck Tony too....

[tk13]

Well they wanted to make XPs harder. They're doing it wrong. They should require the scoring team to kick into the slanted goalposts. Problem solved.

[Steron]

Was it somebody here who said the player that scores the TD should kick the PAT? Or maybe I heard it on the radio. Sucks to get old.

[WhiteWhale]

Gee, and who's ****ing fault is it?

http://jocksandstilettojill.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/New-Orlean-Saint-Jimmy-Graham-bends-goalpost-300x206.jpg

Tony just ruined it for everyone else.

I think it's silly to outlaw it, but if a guy's goal post dunk does this the team should be charged with a delay of game penalty on the ensuing kick off.

Also,you guys are... as usual... being total drama queens about it.

[Rasputin]

Should they dunk babies instead?

[Johnny Vegas]

Should they dunk babies instead?

or dunk oreo's in milk? or how about dunking chicken nuggets in sweet and sour sauce? or better yet, I don't see any rules about no tea bagging the goal post or pylons.

If I remember correctly, that was Jimmy Graham. Says so in the image URL so I think I am.

It was kind of a big deal. Took a decent amount of time to level the crossbar again.

[NinerDoug]

Seriously, no dunking over the crossbar? Lol, Goodell is a ****ing joke. WAY TO TACKLE THE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS, COMMISH!!

No shit. It's like the guy has to justify his job by changing as many rules as possible at as fast a pace as possible.

This one is just stupid.

[GloryDayz]

It's boring... Anybody 7'6" can do it! I think games with more 3-point shots are A) more interesting, and B) take more skill. Generally speaking , the closer you get to the basket the less skill it takes to get the ball in the hole! So they can keep the dunk, just make it 1 point! Then keep the 2 where it is. Keep the three where it is. And make anything 3 feet farther (in the same arc) 4 points, and anything from past half-court 5 points.

Oh, and while they're at it, fix the silly rules about what's a foul and what's a charge. As it is now, it's just goofy and makes the sport boring.

And last, like hockey, allow fights to happen for a bit. I'd like it more then!

OK, some of that might be over the top!

[TribalElder]

Tony, you were a year late bro.... Did you see the falcons last season :facepalm:

Now he gets to spend all his free time playing hide the salami with that hot wife of his.

[TEX]

When the NFL micromanages the fun out of games, it turns the fans off... This was no big deal but now the NFL has made way more out of it, by outlawing it, than need be. What's next? No. Lambeau Leap? Plenty of other more important stuff to legislate.

[Sully]

I don't think this is a matter of him getting out "just in time." I think it's a matter of him getting out, and them waiting for that to outlaw the celebration that he was known for.

It may be easier to do the actual dunk, but the skill it takes to get there is far more than passing the ball around the outside and shooting it.

Look at the numbers on the jerseys.

The Saints offense is on the field, Jimmy Graham did that, not Tony Gonzales.

[Molitoth]

As much as I hate Goodell, this is a good thing.

Tony was fine dunking over the crossbar, then came every other unoriginal copycat bastard.
I got sick of seeing it nearly every touchdown.

[GloryDayz]

It may be easier to do the actual dunk, but the skill it takes to get there is far more than passing the ball around the outside and shooting it.

Wait, if you touch a guy it's a foul, so what's "hard" about it? Just run at the basket, step around the the guys who have their feet set and can't move (and can't "reach in" (which takes contact to be a foul)), and jump 4 inches.

So I'll agree that throwing a ball around the outside of the 3-point arch isn't "hard", but making that 3-pointer once you're done throwing the ball around takes a lot more skill that a 4" hop and a slam dunk.

But I'm willing to negotiate. Make contact "in the paint" OK, and you might have a sport that has a lot more 2 and 3 point shots. That'd be good.

[A Salt Weapon]

What if they raised the crossbar 5 feet?

That would accomplish making PAT's harder, eliminate dunking, and comply with the new rule of raising the bars 5' all in one.

As if HOF players like Dick Butkus never did any of that taunting. Hell Dick Butkus would spit on players before the play.


Part of the game is taunting then you get burnt and shut the fuck up.
