I swear I just heard a report from John Clayton that there will be no end-zone celebrations allowed this year? Anyone else hear/confirm this?
Thoughts if it is true?
Nothing has been voted yet but probably will be. Here is what they can and cant do.
players can still spike the ball in the end zone, spin it on the ground, and dunk it over the goal post if they like (and are able to). They also can dance and even leap into the stands.
What they can't do is use the ball as a prop in their routine. Nor can they do any celebrating on the ground or be part of any group effort. And when the referee warns them that their celebration has gone on too long and needs to stop, they must stop … or be penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct that would be assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

or does it just encompass strickly in the endzone activities?
