AB's "dancing" penalty was for what exactly?

      This.

      I don't get the least bit uncomfortable when my daughter sees AB doing his dance. The unnecessarily overly descriptive Viagra commercials on the other hand...

      But I guess you have to have some kind of limit or players will do all sorts of crazy stuff. The problem is in how to get officiating to be consistent.

      In any case, I almost don't care about the 15 yard penalty after an AB TD. With touchbacks at the 25 yard line anyway,teams are short-kicking a lot anyway. Maybe it's easier to short-kick from 15 yards back?

        This.

        It is still something that could hurt us. If the other team runs back a TD after an AB penalty > kick off, then I think we will care.

            True but at the same time, this could happen if we make a conscious decision to kick short without the penalty. If touchbacks hadn't been moved to the 25, I'd be much more concerned about the AB TD penalties.

                  In today's world this might get a fan or player hurt or even killed.

                    Is that Raven fan still in critical condition after a fight with Raider fans in his own home stadium?
                    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                        I brought this up earlier in the thread about the cheerleaders, it does seem hypocritical.

                          AB hit with a $24,000 fine for his latest end zone twerking. I oppose his antics because of the penalty vs. the team, but the fine seems ridiculously large. He probably would have gotten fined less for going helmet to helmet and knocking out an opposing DB, or knocking out his baby mama.
