you got that "no fun league" from that E:DSPN story.

John Madden called it the "Never Figure League" ;).

To the greater question of the no fun league... I applaud a lot of what the NFL enforces.

Sure when your team gets fined for endzone celebrations or wearing striped socks it's no fun at all... but the rules are in place to preserve the integrity of the game.

I DO think the endzone celebration thing has gotten a tad out of control. Only because I think we are at a point where the celebration overshadows the touchdown. When Chad Johnson scored and did the river dance... nobody talked about the amazing catch and what it meant to the context of the game at that point in time... they only commented on how funny his dance was.

I'm all for celebrating, don't get me wrong... but I think the NFL does a great job (for the most part) managing most of it.

By the way to clarify, I just made this thread to share a great Redskins picture. I don't really have any strong feelings about the NFL in terms of its rules and policies. :)
