a knee-jerk reaction by the NFL.

 

That's all they do now, knee jerk reactions!!!

Around the Horn only said it happened once.

 

If you break the goalpost then penalize him. If the goalpost stays intact then there is no harm, no foul.

 

Pretty weak and a knee-jerk reaction by the NFL.

 

The article on ESPN.com said twice, but only specifically mentioned last year's incident in Atlanta. Honestly, it doesn't bother me one way or the other. The goalpost dunk isn't all that special because a lot of guys have been doing it (Tony Gonzalez and LeSean McCoy come to mind). I won't miss it, but it certainly didn't bother me either.

I wouldn't watch NFL if I didn't gamble/play fantasy football.

 

This is basically me now too.

It makes a little more sense now with the reports that he messed up the goal posts.

 

I agree though...if he does it and messes up the goal posts, 15 yard penalty and fine him. No need to outright ban it.

I hope Graham does a lay up after every touchdown.

That would still be illegal I believe because he would be using the ball as a prop.

Holy snowballs in hell. We agree. :lol2:

Normally I agree with all the No Fun League talk, but I'm actually with them on this one. I thought it was dumb and a waste of time last year when Graham dunked it and delayed the game by knocking the goalposts off balance. Only reason I'm for this rule. I didn't mind the dunking at all, don't mind most of the other celebrations, but I'm not about wasting time because these guys can about tear the goalposts down.

 

No one is forcing you to waste your time watching.

 

This is such a stupid rule. There's no reason for it.

If it weren't for fantasy football, the only games I'd watch each week would be the Pats game.

NFL is a bore.

Ahhhh we have agreed at least once before...right?

I wouldn't say there is no reason for it. There is a reason for it...just not a very good one.

No. :lol2:

 

 

Kidding. I think a few times. Still rare air. Makes me feel accomplished when we do agree. :thumb:

NFL is turning into rules galore. I assume they implemented this rule because Jimmy Graham basically broke the field goal post in the post season with his dunk after a touchdown. But to me, that's exciting and something that I'll never forget about as I get older. Watching the field crew try to line that field goal post up with a level. It was hilarious and something that added to the excitement of the game, why take it out?

Can't believe anyone cares about this. If you want to see dunks watch basketball. Do you people only watch NFL to see people dunk the ball over the goal post? Talk about overreaction.
