He looks like a moron dancing like that.

Hands down the dumbest celebration in sports.

He said he didn’t know, but… come on. Something so tastefully and dignified could only be a tribute. Every player should be doing something tacky to honor someone when they score a touchdown. I cry evertime I see it.

Respect your Grandmother and dance after the game. While playing and scoring a TD, show her that you have matured into a respectable player and hand the ball to the ref, high five your teammates and go to the sidelines.
If Rogers does the dance on you, just remember, there’s no crying in football.

People from every team playing the packers get in a discount double check. Seriously, I see one almost every week, and have since the Super Bowl win.

Which is funny, because only the Gmen have the right to do it.

Cruz needs to stop being a drama queen. You can’t celebrate the same way every time and not have it come back to haunt you.

Cruz should just take some pointers from apple….Patten the dance celebration and sue anyone that tries to do it.

I’m a huge Cruz/Giants fan, but this was a huge mistake on Cruz’s part. To date, only one player had mocked “his” dance, and now that he kinda came off as sounding like a baby about it, trust me more players will start mocking it. Players in this league don’t care if you consider it a slap in the face or not. They want to get into your head, and now that you made it apparent that it bothers you more people will mock it. Smh

Oh waaaaaa says Cruz. Tough. Doing a celebratory dance like that in itself is arrogant, insulting and self aggrandizing. Most people don’t celebrate by doing a dance just because they’ve done the job they’re paid to do.

Its great he loves his grandma, but I have no sympathy at his feelings getting hurt if someone does the same dance after he or his team screws up.

Stupid or cool, say what you want. I just hope To see Cruz continue dancing in opponents end zones all yr long.
Go Gmen!!

I think Cruz is playing great, but really, honor your grandma by acting like you’ve been there before. I bet Jerry Rice and Barry Sanders’ grandma’s were proud too.

Victor, you seem like a nice guy, but the bottom line is you don’t do any kind of celebration in pro sports and then say that it’s sacred and unable to be mocked because you say so.
Sorry that isn’t how things work.

So it’s okay for Cruz to do it in a defender’s face after scoring a TD on them, but it’s not okay if that defender makes a play on him and then does the same dance? Can’t have it both ways dude. Either cut the dancing out or be prepared to be mocked for it if/when an opposing player makes a big play on you

how about crossing the goal line and handing the ball to the ref or placing it on the ground in celebration of the GAME OF FOOTBALL. nobody ever got there by themself. I kind of like the high school rules after scoring.

Best 500K player in the league can salsa in honor of his grandma all he wants.

Anyone catch the clip of Rodgers begging for some help against Cruz last year??? Good stuff.

A showboat would probably accept an offer to do DWTS in a heartbeat. Or salsa in a blowout.

1. Do something arrogant.
2. Come up with a fake sappy story after the fact to make yourself look less arrogant and make people who call you out on it look like jerks.
3. ???
4. Profit

Also, he can say all day that he does it in honor f his grandma. But we all know it’s for showboating.

All of this Cruz hate is 100% sour grapes. Primadonna? The guys a genuine hard-working player that busted his ass just for a shot in the pros. Hes a devoted father and husband and great to fans. The fact that hes still playing on an UDFA contract and not demanding a top 5 contract, im sure that chaps fans of teams that draft Darrius Heyward Bey and Jeremy Maclin in the 1st round.

Who cares? Players do other players celebrations all the time. Nowadays, I would be a little nervous if I were a player to come up with a new celebration. You never know what will draw a flag.

He should go Joe Horn and hid actual chips and salsa under the goalpost. Then when he Pick 6′s Manning he can have a mid-game snack in the end zone.

Nice to see Cruz showing his true colors. Didn’t have a reason to not like the guy before, just hated NBC for their over-the-top promotion of the guy. But, I guess all the attention is going to Cruz’s head now.

I’m sick of this punk already. My dream is to watch a safety lay him out coming down the middle and doing the salsa as he lays on the ground.

Oh, I see. You dance on anyone you want with impunity, but when an opponent does it, it’s personal. Another prima donna WR is born.

I can not stand Carlos Rogers, of course he will do the salsa dance “IF” he picks one off because he is not original at all. This guy blamed the skins on his eyes. Saying the skins never gave him an eye test. If you cant see, well bring that up to the team. Skins staff just thought you had hands like a snake. When the 9ers let him go he will talk smack about them too… BOOK IT..

Maybe Rogers should grab the bottom of the goal post and do a pole dance while Cruz pulls some dollar bills out of his wallet.

He didn’t make up his little dance to celebrate his grandmother. His PR rep urged him to make up a little signature dance for self promotion, them came up with the grandma twist for another PR purpose.
