...is to implement a 15-yard penalty on top of fines (in the thousands) of players (making millions), not that I like all the restrictions on player celebrations, though.  Here is piece right off "The REAL Feed":

Im kind of old fashioned about celebrations,not that a player should'nt be happy about scoring but it is getting to be a little much.Where do they draw the line,I dont know.How do they deside whats excessive?IMO I would hate to see a penalty like that cost a team the game.maybe a player should act like they've been In the endzone before(provided they have)It will be interesting to see how this pans out.

I don't mind them cracking down on the premeditated celebrations using foreign objects (i.e., Sharpies and cell phones).  But under this rule Ickey Woods would not have been able to shuffle.  Donovan McNabb probably won't be able to dunk the football over the goalposts.
 
I think as long as the celebration isn't taunting another player, then it should be allowed.

It's not about fun in the NFL
Miami Herald: Sports (28.03.2004 03:56)
The NFL will look to crack down on celebrations, despite critics who say the No Fun League is hurting its image.Chaminade football coach Mark Guandolo might have one of the best programs when it comes to Friday nights in the fall.
