From the PackerPlus website:
Dance fever: One of the proposals the NFL's competition committee intends to recommend is a curtailment of touchdown celebrations. According to co-chairman Jeff Fisher, coach of the Tennessee Titans, players no longer would be able to use the ball as a prop during touchdown celebrations. They also wouldn't be allowed to go to the ground, which means crawling in the end zone or rowing an imaginary boat would result in a 15-yard penalty. Players will be able to dance, spike the ball, dunk over the goalposts and do the Lambeau Leap, but after a reasonable amount of time the officials will call for the ball and throw a flag if the player doesn't stop celebrating. The rule means that Cincinnati receiver Chad Johnson won't be able to putt with the pylon or go to his knee to propose to a cheerleader. “At some point there has to be a limit,” Fisher said.In the immortal words of Bear Bryant, "When you get in the endzone, act like you've been there before." Rowing an imaginary boat indeed!
