This was clearly a mistake, but I can't help but feel a tiny amount of win.

Even the player's come out to say it wasn't that he prayed, it's that he slid to his knees instead of just dropping down.

Am I the only person that stopped watching NFL games when they made "celebrations and demonstrations" against the rules? That was the best part of the damned games.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Allah doesn't give a fuck about football.

Allah only cares about blowing up buildings.

The NFL's rules on allowable post-scoring celebrations are Byzantine and somewhat ridiculous, IMO.

My take: when you get into the end zone, act like you've been there before. (This may be difficult for Raiders and Browns players.)

Yeah, I know. Sad But I just want to look at it at surface level. Let me have this! Wink

Given how obnoxious NFL fans can be when their team makes a goal, I find it hilarious that the NFL won't allow their idols to do the same on the field.

Aw Hail naw! (You have every right and reason to say that, but I'm obligated to object.)

Go Browns!

I have three words (and a video) for you.

Factory of sadness.

IDK, CD, gotta keep in mind that every time they find themselves in the endzone that's a possible 1mil added to their next contract. I'd be dancing under the posts myself, no matter how many times I'd been there.
