Plexiglass did that once and he wasn't touched down...but I think the refe gave it to him saying he had given himself up.

True. In the last eight years, they've had as many 8-8 years as Super Bowl victories. Unless you mean that last year and 2006 were the only years in recent times they've done that, in which case I agree, as showboating and mediocrity don't go well together.ThePatriot;1483100 wrote:I don't mind ball spinning but how about when a receiver makes a catch then after the play, throws the ball on the ground and marches/struts 25 yards up firld.

I laughed that incredible hulk is listed, what about Cam's "Superman" shirt rip? I think we need some more super hero inspired taunting.

That's pretty much exactly what John Clayton has said..thavoice;1483425 wrote:Seems like a rash of ACL's so far this year. Probably a coincidence, but could it also come down to the new CBA and rules on the reduced practice time, offseason mandatory workouts and with the reduced practices and hitting are the coaches trying to pack too much into the more limited time they have? Probably just a coincidence but who knows....
Huh, I guess my thinking wasn't too far fetched as it is. There is something to be said about being in shape, which most pro athletes do before they get to camp, and in football shape. The players thought they were getting a great deal with the less hitting and shorter on field times but this may be a time that 'be careful what you wish for' is a true statement.gorocks99;1483426 wrote:That's pretty much exactly what John Clayton has said..
"The new collective bargaining agreement creates too much time for the players to rest their bodies. As one front office exec told me, long rest helps joints, but long rest isn't great for tendons. The new work rules give players 14 weeks off from the end of the season, seven weeks to train with their teammates and then six to eight weeks off before training camp. If the players aren't doing enough running or training to keep the tendons constantly working, they are vulnerable to the ACL tears, Achilles pulls and other injuries that have hit teams. Many of these injuries have come in non-contact activities. The league and the union need to devote time to figuring out a better offseason strategy to help players stay away from these bad injuries."

Same could be said for the owners who traded off time for money. They have more cash in the pocket, but when you are losing important players to your team it hurts the teams chances on the field. To some owners that's fine, but I know there are more than a few that would trade a few bucks if it meant not losing key guys to injury because of the off time situation.thavoice;1483429 wrote:Huh, I guess my thinking wasn't too far fetched as it is.
