Geez, people….lighten up! If it bothers you so much, cover your eyes during the evil TD celebrations!

My feelings are just fine, thank you very much. Once again…. your lack of maturity is painfully obvious.

People are upset they can’t see exciting touchdown celebrations? And hear I thought I was going to watch football, not a man doing the dougie in the end zone. Guess my priorities are all wrong…

i didn’t mean to hurt your feelings 2ndaryinsanity…didn’t know you were a dancer. i prefer football. i also prefer when players celebrate the td with their teammates…not them dancing. think about it…they are getting paid to score touchdowns. thats like a judge spiking his gavel after he sentences a criminal to death.. its stupid and adds ZERO value to the game of football. rip on the browns all you want…id probably agree with most of what you say. my opinion is just that…mine, whereas yours is yours. you just scored… now do us all a favor and spike yourself into the pavement.

It will be interesting to see what MJD does after scoring. I imagine he is going to be disgruntled when he returns.

Nice idea but unfortunately, the Jags won’t score any TD’s this year.

They hardly scored any LAST year when they had MJD in the lineup.

Instead, how about a $25,000 fine paid to charity for every excessive celebration penalty? Unpenalized celebrations are ignored.

Unfortunately, this will provide little disincentive to celebrate. For most guys in position to score frequently, $500 is pocket change. For those who score infrequently, the rare chance to celebrate is too tempting. Now, if the donation were $5000, it might get interesting.

As big a corporation as McDonald’s is, the fact is this a privately funded charity with only the name attached. The public finances it while giving publicity to the golden arches .
How about make a wish or some charity without a stock price involved?

1phd, Ronald McDonald House provides housing for families of children who have to travel to other cities to undergo treatment for diseases like cancer. It has nothing to do with nutrition. You jackass.

PROFESSIONAL athletes.

Act like you’ve done it before.

You don’t spike the stapler after finishing the last TPS report of the day, do you?

cleveland1980…why do you feel the need to insult people who have an opinion you don’t agree with? Not very mature. Then again, if you’re a Browns fan, I guess it makes sense that you get a little crabby when the subject of touchdowns is brought up.

@flik44 Do you really think this is the only money Mularkey gives to a charity? Do you really think he ran out to find a reporter and let the world know what he was doing? What, articles on every damn stubbed toe as DUI in the league are cool but one that points out something good is more than you can handle? *sigh*

Weird, trying to bribe/guilt players into some No Fun League behavior via charity seems communist.

If you are going to donate to a good charity, donate. Don’t make it conditional on what happens in a football game.

And, it wouldn’t be horrible if we didn’t hear about it.

This is brilliant. To the idiots above that say td dances are fun…i counter by saying winning is a hell of a lot more fun. if you want to watch people dance, you shouldn’t be watching football!

extra incentives?

wheres goodell claiming this as a bounty program?

By: elgatojaguar

It’s a win, win. And that’s what the Jags are going to do this year, win. They work hard and they put the team first.

Razzlejag….

Lions,Vikings & Broncos lead the NFL in arrests.

So he is going to make financial incentives to his players for certain types of on field performance??

Sounds like a bounty style program down in Jacksonville. Better get on that Roger.

Amazing how many are upset about donations to charity.
No wonder America is going over a cliff.

I applaud Mularkey for finding a way to create a team first atmosphere while helping out a charitable foundation.

Count me among the fans who enjoy TD celebrations…the more creative the better (as long as it doesn’t involve taunting the other team OR their fans). I don’t see any harm in it and think it’s entertaining.
Not sure how many TD’s the Jag’s will score with Blain Gabbert at QB and their only offensive weapon holding out. Oh, wait…I forgot about Justin “Gonna-drink-till-I-blackout” Blackmon.

So by the logic of the anti-celebration crowd we’re to assume that nothing in life should ever be celebrated because in at least some small way someone else was a contributing factor to that achievement?
I really have to wonder if the issue goes deeper than simple resentment towards rugged individualism.

Very smart. Celebration penalties suck but it is what it is. Other head coaches….are you listening?

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE

So many good things are happening
around the Jaguars right now. The new owner, Shad Khan, has had a positive effect on many aspects of the operation.

Sure, maybe they go 5-11 again this year or worse but at least they aren’t finishing 2nd to the Bengals in arrests anymore. They have a new locker room, one of the best in the NFL, a new sound system in the stadium and a new crop of young players who want to win.

The HC (Mularkey) has done everything right so far.

For those who don’t understand those of us who don’t like end-zone celebrations:
Usually it’s a wide receiver who performs the irritating end zone dixplay. That wide receiver catches the ball if:
1. The offensive line does their job of giving the QB time
2. The running back picks up the blitzer
3. The quarterback steps up to buy additional time, then makes that perfect throw over the defender and into the receiver’s hands.

It’s a team game. End-zone celebrations are the epitome of self serving egotism. Disgusting.

Great idea Mike!

Fantastic idea. Now if only the Raiders and Cowboys would be willing to make a similar donation for quarters without a flag…

By: trojanwarrior007

trojanwarrior007 — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 00:19:44 +0000

stupid idea. how about Mularkey donates money for every successful coaches’ challenge?
