I can imagine what Jj would say about what someone like that thinks about what he does.

What's the fun if they can't get the offense hyped up who are about to go out on the next possession. Being old and grumpy is dumb in my opinion...haha

If it were for a reason or not, at that point in the game, I was celebrating with him. Now I see it had a double meaning.

Shhhh.... you wake up Thorn.

No one would throw these kids in the mix to try to cover their butt. You can not like the fact that he did it, but to think its damage control is just recklessly silly in my book. He's been nothing but stand up since he's been here, broke out a new move, and explained why he did. I'm sure he was asked what that meant and he said why.

For the record I thought he was doing the cat daddy when I first saw it. Search youtube Kate Upton doing the cat daddy and you'll see what I'm talking about. You can thank me later.

Exactly. The guy took the kids to a Bieber concert. Who does that if they don't truly care?

Doing a celebration after a big play when the game is close isn't bad. We were down 7 to GB when he got the sack on Rodgers and took off the Belt. Was that a problem?

Cam's Superman antics when they are losing big show a different mentality.

I have no problem with Watt's move regardless of the reasons.

So when Watt got the sack, did anybody cheer? Yeah, I get that it's pretty dumb to celebrate when you're getting blown out, or you make a tackle 15 yards downfield, but it was a 7 point game. A game where a single play can change everything. Even if this wasn't for the kids, I don't see what's wrong with it and I too am someone who doesn't care much for the dancing and stuff after big plays.

I don't have a problem with a guy celebrating in most cases, as long as it doesn't get too elaborate & if it's done with good sportsmanship in mind.

I don't like when they try to mock other players. Superman, that's Cam's thing. He brought that to the NFL & I thought it was fresh, original, & fitting, because he looked like Superman last year.

I don't like all the guys who are out there mocking Cam right now. That's just not right. I didn't like Jj Watt throwing down the belt..... poor sportsmanship in my mind.

I don't like elaborate celebrations..... Jacoby's dance takes 15 seconds.

I don't like celebrations in lost cases.... down by 24, I'm fine with a celebration if there is a reasonable chance that you can come back & win the game. Down by 24 with 2 minutes to go & you just scored a TD...... keep it brief, keep it classy. You just sacked the back up QB because the starter sat down 3 possessions ago since they are up by 20+ points..... it's kinda hard to stomach a celebration of any kind.

Damn... you got more rules and clauses than the income tax code.

Can you imagine if he didn't do his dance?

Let's say we were down 35, and he got the sack.

Is he going to tell the kids?

"Hey Guys, Sorry for breaking our promise here. I care deeply about what the media and the guys over at Texanstalk think. I am certain that I will be condemned by the public, so in the interest of preserving my self-image, I broke our little promise. But hey guys, don't worry, at least everyone else still loves me."

[TimeKiller]

The play after that was pretty nasty huh? I believe that was the 3rd and 21 for a 90 yard TD...

Completely off subject but why does no one have any smart comments about the all-blues or all-whites uniforms? Why is all-reds the only one? I think the all-blues look weird.

This. The guy made a promise not only to do his dance, but that he would get a sack. Keeping his promise here is bigger than the game of football, even if it rubs some fans the wrong way. Those same fans will love him again come Thanksgiving.

JJ watt while a great player celebrates too much. he has a finger waive for block passes, a salute for sacks, and something I forget TBL. I like it, because it is my guy, but he never (or better rarely) just makes a play gets up a goes back to the huddle.

Nice that one was for a "reason," but he has plenty of bits n his own accord.

Thorn isn't the only old a$$ curmudgeon around here. Don't forget about JB. He may not post much anymore, but I bet he still lurks!!

They don't look half as weird as those damn ketchup bottle all reds. I'd rather look at those striped prison uniforms that the Steelers wear than those God awful things. YUCK!

[fiasco west]

I didn't care honestly.

It would be one thing if they were down 21 or something...but they were down 7, it was still a very winnable game and he had made a big play as sacks always are.

I liked the red ones until they went to those shiny all red ones. Those made them look like Ketchup packets.

He's the ****ing man. Simple as that.

Well if that one damned comment from resident lame ass Tony Kornheiser is what makes you think those Steeler bumblebee tuna uniforms aren't the worst thing any franchise in any sport in any period of time EVER.....I just can't help you. The all-blues are exactly as strange any.

[SAMURAITEXAN]

JJ Watt has done so much this year for the Texans. Leave him alone.

The cheerleaders dancing right in front of a downed player bugged me FAR more. It was really strange.

I had far more problems with this, than anything J.J. did or didn't do. I know it's part of the whole 2:00 warning thing, but it just seemed really inappropriate.
