This is going to sound crazy, but Roger Goodell actually did something that improves the NFL experience for both players and fans.
According to the USA Today’s Tom Pelissero, the commish will no longer be in the business of suppressing the personalities of players and is allowing a number of touchdown celebrations that include group acts and snow angels!
Roger Goodell is expected to tell NFL owners group celebrations, using ball as prop after TDs, going to ground, snow angels are now allowed.

The bad news? Players that enjoy sexually charged dance moves (you know… Von Miller, Antonio Brown, etc.) are still likely to see those yellow flags:
Prolonged acts, miming weapons, offensive gestures, sexually suggestive stuff still expected to be banned. That includes twerking. Sorry, AB

Whatever. At this point we’ll take the Not-So-Fun League over the No Fun League.

Hooray for spontaneous exuberance (fun):
Goodell has been meeting with players for months on this. Emphasis on spontaneous exuberance. Result should be more fun, fewer flags.
