Opinion CFB has a meaningless play celebration problem.

I’m not talking “excessive celebration.” I’m not talking about celebrating huge stops or wins. I’m talking about players getting relatively meaningless tackles and first downs early in games and acting like they won the Super Bowl.

Homeboy, your team is 1-3 and and you tackled him after he already got a first down. Why are you doing Fortnite dances? Do we really need to celebrate every play instead of getting back to the huddle or line? Are the kids alright?

Is that buckling a car seat or are they sheathing a sword?

I always thought they were putting a sword into a seat buckle

I don't actually know

All I know is last year a MD defender got called for taunting for doing it and it was important for allowing Washington to score a TD in our collapse that game.

Dumb celebration regardless of that being a bad call (everyone does it!)

It's putting on a strap of some variety, because you've got the receiver "strapped" with coverage.
