Before continuing, let me clarify that I am not against the goal of the celebration, the game-winning embrace Fests, and the general euphoria after a fantastic game that guarantees recognition. In fact, I generally enjoy these moments. On the other hand, I'm sick of watching linebacker dancing around after a routine tackle or tight end flexing their muscles after a first down reception. - nice job buddy, very nice job. Maybe next time you get back to gather before the game clock expires.
While, to some degree, excessive celebration there in every sport, football is the absolute worst. Because of the pace of the game, hockey players do not have the luxury to stop and pound their škrinje.Isto goes for basketball (mostly). Baseball is full of individual faces time (Batting, Fielding, pitching, baserunning) and hot-dogging hardly does not exist. In football, there is an endless amount of time between performances. Players take this away for "me time" and we are forced to watch. No Mas!
Allow me to introduce "Remember when ...," hereby referred to as" RW. "(Yeh, the name sucks. I need help better.)" RW "would be best explained through a specific scenario. Let ...
Dallas RB Marion Barber takes the handoff and rumbles in the secondary. Barber has been met with a firm step forward from the shoulder of Philadelphia CB Asante Samuel. Barber goes down, the game is over. Samuel bounces up and darts 20 yards upfield - away from the crowd of players - crosses arms over chest, nodding emphatically. Celebrating the basis of a bad tackle, after an 18-yard gain, however, it is not necessary.
NFL already has a reputation as the "No Fun League", so it will not solve this problem. Instead, the home teams will have to accept responsibility. If this scenario played out at Lincoln Financial Field (home of Samuel Stadium), Samuel crowd to shower with praise. On the Road, Samuel will become a victim of "RW" segment on the stadium video zaslonu.Isječak like this and this (a real connection to the bottom of the article) will be familiar with Michael Jackson, "Do you remember the time ?..."
Now, here's the glitch: the home team (s) must accept this approach. Obviously, they control the video screens at the stadiums. If teams do not jump on board, the whole thing falls apart. I know what you're thinking, "Why would this team welcome in your stadium?" Three reasons;. Money, improved the fan experience (not that they really care), and money
video screens in the state of the art stadium was almost as great as the attraction of the game (see the Cowboys stadium). I have no idea how much advertising revenue to generate the screens for the team, but I would imagine that a lot. Due to the comedy factor, "RW" undoubtedly become an instant fan favorite. As a result, it will be "prime minister" in-game advertising slot. (eg, the "remember when" moment is brought to you by Burger King, home of Whopper Wednesday. [Cue Michael Jackson's introduction ...]) Similarly, TV advertising structures, teams may require more of these segments.
If you think that the fans would not seek to "RW," you're crazy. All intended to humiliate the opposing team will always be popular with most of his home crowd. This will surpass the kiss cam, cam dancing, even the drunk guy with no shirt cam. Next time Dre Bly overreacts to an opponent stadium, "RW" clip will treat fans to Bly is too high up routine in 2009 against the Falcons.
Once the "RW" solution is carried out, fans are eagerly waiting for an opponent to make a routine play and excessive praise. (It will be very similar to my days of walking to class in a Winter Storm Someone was going to fall; .. waiting for such expectation was just too exciting) The next time you struggled Shawne Merriman's "Lights Out Dancing" in a stadium video screen will feature of the range of Tila Tequila shots mixed with steroid injections ... Whoa ... hold on. This could get out of hand. We need some ground rules.
without regulation, "RW" will result in litigation and possible depression for their victims. What starts as innocent teasing, could escalate to verbal grenades, and culminate in chairs being thrown across the kitchen. (Anyone who shares a house with four males in the study was nodding your head right now. We've all seen it or been a part of it. It happens.) Goal is to embarrass an opponent for the doping rather than ruin his life. Thus, the following rules will apply.
Rule # 1: no personal content of any type may be involved. All content must be former or game comments (football related) by the individual. Dating history, personal / family life, drugs, murder (this is for you, Ray), or known sexually transmitted diseases are no fly zone.
Rule # 2: There is no video editing. Obviously, the recordings can be cut to make for more effective and pleasant tour, but the photo-shopping, special effects, or create a recording that never actually happened will not be allowed.
Rule # 3: NFL representative monitors RW segments may not be a fan of competing teams. His / her authority must be impartial in determining whether or not the party was unnecessary. (See more jobs. There is also potential for teams to hire individuals to search the internet, games, films, interviews, etc. .. for the embarrassing footage of future opponents. The possibilities are endless. I should be president .)
Well, it's a cute idea, but it will not work. Perhaps, perhaps not. What we do know is that the players celebrate too. Miles Austin is a stupid first down routine is unbearable, as a defensive lineman is a two-step after the turn to go. "RW" segments will not completely eliminate these celebrations, but will at least reduce their frequency. After all, the player can only handle a butt of joke in front of 70,000 + fans so many times. Even a professional athlete ego can not handle so much abuse and humiliation.
Ideally, the players will grow used to the ridicule associated with the stupid celebrations and eliminate them from their repertoire of game days. Worst case scenario, the players other than its fame for home games. The absolute worst case scenario, nothing changes and the fans love more fun.
"RW" is in its infancy stage. There are a lot of tweaking yet to be done. It can not be a perfect solution, but it's a start. At the very least, fans will get a good laugh. What's not to like?
