This is awesome

Btw I thought they banned hookers in times square

 

[drvenner]

Can’t block b

Can’t block below the waist but a defender can.
Taunting will now be a live foul and touchdowns will be taken off the board if they deem you tainted at all
Still ejections for targeting but you can appeal the suspension
More… but these are the ones I think are dumb.
No one tries to target anyone, it shouldn’t be an ejection. Taunting is objective, they could just be running in and the team celebrating before he crosses the line (say a pick six) and they are saying they will take it off the board.

Can pretty much guarantee that some official is going to interject himself into determining the outcome and take a game-winning TD off the board for no reason.

Not the high end ones apparently.

Sure, they're not going to put people with little to no real life experience in a position to regulate a multiple billion $ industry.

That is not the point, which you obviously missed. Taunting and excessive celebration has been around a lot longer than you're implying. Maybe it's because you're just so young that you don't have enough memory to recall the taunting and celebrations that happened in the olden days.

A 65 year old person on the committee would have been in his late teens to mid 20's all those years ago when excessive celebration and taunting was taking place. If you want to research it, you could start with the Ickey shuffle or the rival fans using the FSU chop or Gators chomp or the Miami Hurricanes In the 80's. . . along with pretty much some variant of everything being done today. . .much of which was subdued in comparison to today in respect to sportsmanship.

Even if there were any 80-90 year old people on the committee, they aren't colluding with each other in an effort to put a blanket on the up and coming new era generation.

The new kids always want to think the older people are holding them down, when it's simply their inexperience and lack of knowledge in life that limits them. So many young people have been taught to be the victim that it's easy for them to look somewhere to put the blame. They even come up with conspiracy theories to explain what is really just them being cry-babies.

In this instance, I would say it's likely their entitled attitude & participation trophy upbringing that makes them feel like they're being bullied by mean old men. Many of them should learn the philosophy of sportsmanship before crying about not being able to dance for 20 seconds after every TD or 1st down. . . or acting like their 3rd down tackle in the 1st qtr was the game winning stop as time expired in the Superbowl.

Well we can agree that the generation that raised the participation trophy generation really screwed the pooch.

Somebody will gator chomp headed to the sideline in the joy of the moment. They'll be watching for that.

The BVS in all of us can see it coming miles away

I'd say so. As bad as they were for trying to make everything exciting and fun for their kids, they sure created a generation of pansies. All is not lost, history repeats itself.

Kids raised by pansies will want to be different, just like every generation wants to be different. Soon, a strong work ethic and high moral value will be rare. A new generation who wants to be "different" will embrace those characteristics. We'll see a new group that mirrors those born in the 40s & 50s and they will build and innovate the same way.

In order to progress, we really do need the soft millennial generation after all.

I highly recommend this book as an interesting look at the cyclical nature of history in the US going back pre-Revolution. Fascinating!

I think this definitely was the case back when endzone dancing first happened in the NFL. And the spread to the college game. Etc. But I think today all of that rhetoric is just connected people trying to rig outcomes. To take the huge recent case, I deny that the fans and media attacking the baseVols for enjoying themselves were "old school." I think that was just their cover story for trying to punishing the team they were jealous of. In football, I don't see any of that old school attitude remaining. I take it, again, to be manipulation. For example, I don't think they will stop Florida from chopping. I bet they wouldn't take a TD off the board for a bammer striking an endzone pose.

Sorry, see you just answered, but this is not a exactly duplicate, if you think about it.

New edit: I didn't see your edit before I wrote.

It's Gator Chomp...not Gator Chop.

This seems somehow on point for today's discussion.

Seminoles chomp, gators chop. Sticking to my story.

 

[SSVol]

This seems somehow on point for today's discussion.

And it usually involved use of a feeler gauge. Wonder how that would work out now.

 

[Pridedad]

Thank goodness JG wasn’t there

I wonder if this means Tillman is coming back?

Not to be confused with the judy chop

I think that has more to do with cars being way more complicated these days

Every generation has always called the newer generation pansies.. somebody said the same stuff about our grandparents generation decades ago

We had a good run, but looks like we are fizzling out/striking out with remaining recruits on the board... hopefully we can still get Ramil, and a few other solid pickups before the end of the cycle... looks like we are adding some studs, but surprised we haven't landed a top-tier WR or DL... plenty of EDGE but not really any true DT's... Hopefully the portal will be our friend again...

Anyone on the board still that I am missing? Another DT, WR, LB, and CB would hit the spot!

I'm always a sucker for the judy chop.

Probably true, but I know for a fact that my grandmother would climb up a coal car stopped on the train tracks and throw out chunks of coal while 8 month pregnant. No way I could have done that.
