The rules for NFL End Zone Celebrations have gone too far.
NFL celebrations have been entertaining fans since 1965 when the New York Giants wide receiver Homer Jones made the first “spike” in the end zone.
The first end zone dance was performed by Houston Oilers wide receiver Billy “White Shoes” Johnson when began doing the “Funky Chicken” during his rookie year in 1974
Touchdown dances and celebrations have evolved over the years becoming more and more elaborate from the spikes to the dances. Many are choreographed and practiced to be executed with perfection.
What a day for Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins. McNabb received a standing ovation from the Eagles fans before the game started and then led the Redskins to a 17-12 victory.
The Philadelphia Eagles recruited McNabb in the 1999 draft where he spent his first 11 seasons. Donovan was the Eagles starting quarterback until he was traded to the Washington Redskins in 2010.
Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback Troy Smith came down with a rare case of tonsillitis two years ago allowing rookie Joe Flacco to step in. Flacco’s sharp arm and intuitive skills proved Joe an asset to the Ravens and he has been their starter ever since.
Troy Smith played in the the fourth preseason game and despite some errors, he did make the best of the situation. A press release explains that Baltimore feels it is best to keep just two quarterbacks on the team, Joe Flacco and backup Marc Bulger.
A lot of eyes are on Minnesota’s #4, Brett Favre, who returned for another year with the Vikings after 3 teammates Steve Hutchinson, Jared Allen and Ryan Longwell paid a visit to him at his home recently.
The three men flew to Mississippi to beg the nearly 41 year old into coming back for one more year. After an overnight stay and several hours of talking, Favre said, “OK. Let’s do it.”
Favre is just coming off his third ankle surgery and he is already taking lubricant injections to relieve the pain.

The Baltimore Ravens have a poll going on at baltimoreravens.com to find out if fans want to stick with the current “Ravens Fight Song” or adopt the old fight song redone with a new spin on it.
The statistics are 77% in favor of the updated version of the old song and 23% in favor of keeping the song they have now. So far there have well over 6,000 votes.
The Ravens have used the current song to help inspire team spirit from the crowd since 1998, but over the years it popularity has dropped and its not firing up the crowd like it should.
Today, the football training for quarterbacks is becoming a lot more intricate. The vital trait that needs to be possessed by any quarterback is reading the defense. The consistent job of the quarterback is to have an understanding of the techniques of the defense. This is learned in the training process.

The quarterbacks must direct the attack of any team since they are the pillars of any attack.
American football has grown an enormous worldwide fan base since the American Expert Football Association was formed in 1920, with the very first game being played on October 3rd of that year. From that day on the sport has grown to be what it’s today with a larger fan base in America than Baseball, and a fan base that follows each and every season of American Football avidly from each and every corner from the globe. The NFL was born out from the APFL two years later in 1922 and eventually became the Major League of American Football.
One of the largest guys in college sports a year ago, Terrence Cody, at 6 foot four inches tall & 350 pounds, has altered how colleges look at bigger players. A fantastic run stopper can make a world of difference for football clubs wanting to free up their linebackers.
I really believe that more and more we will see enormous men, obviously like Terrence Cody, arriving onto the scene in college football. A huge man at that overall size in the middle of the defense playing middle guard or nosetackle certainly a valuable tool.
If you want to find a baby backpack, make sure you find a brand-new one. It may seem like a good idea to let friends or family give you their old ones, or that you may find a good “deal” on one at a garage sale, but a baby backpack needs to be new for a number of reasons.
