I agree: unsportsmanlike. I also think dancing in the endzone is unsportsmanlike. What would Johnny Unitas say?

"Get off my lawn."?

"Get off my lawn."?

Or maybe: "Act like you've been there before."

Exactly! It used to be fun to see some of the dances in the end zone, but now every player on the team has to "act the fool" after almost every tackle, 1st down or whatever. It's gettin' real old.

Yes, they celebrate even when they are losing the game badly. It's not time to celebrate your personal accomplishment when your team is down by 20 points!!!

I'm not a big baseball fan, but I do respect their hold on tradition.

I really DO enjoy going to the games and watching them in person. We try to take in at least one Rivercats game each year. I just don't enjoy watching the games on TV very much. There's nothing wrong with it, just not my cup of tea.

It is often tension filled, though.
It can get very exciting.

I can't stand the constant interruption for commercials. Also, I hate seeing the batter step out of the box every pitch to adjust his gloves. They didnt do that when i was young. They didnt have gloves! And batting helmets were optional.

Two of the greatest ever, from back when they understood that a quarterback was more than just passing statistics or athleticism.

I might put Staubach with them too. A real classy guy.

Yeah! How dare people have fun while playing a child's game!
