I don't really care one way or another, but one thing that does irritate me is to see players celebrating a first down when they're behind by 3TD's in the 4th quarter.
#1 pet peeve. Down 3 touchdowns, make an easy catch, act like you cured a disease. OR.........full on sprinting to the end zone for a group pose when you're down 2 touchdowns.

If your up, or it's a close game, or if you win? Hell yeah, do the River Dance. Way down and a group pose? Meh

I hear ya. I don't mind the dances. Will always think group celebrations when you're down several points are dumb.

I grew up seeing guns in family TV shows, cartoons, and movies, we all handled it fine. Now we have smoking listed as adult content in the Motion Picture Association ratings.
We also grew up in a time when we laughed at a blind Mr. McGoo, something that would be unthinkable in today's society. Times change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

It's ok to be wrong. Throat slashing and acting like you're shooting a gun? Lame
I think they should be allowed to do it all. Imagine a pick six celebration where Spoon pretends to shoot his load all over everyone.

I’d probably start watching again just for shit like that

Edit: or a pick six on Deshaun Watson where the defense pretends to do a massage with a happy ending. Shit is endless.
