That stinker suddenly becomes an intriguing game to watch. I gotta find out how far the senility has progressed, and if he's back to drinking now that he's had that new liver for a few years.

Depends on if you count the cryogenically frozen years or not.

Summerall is a really old 77.  He had a liver transplant in 2004.

If this isn't anything more than another attempt by ESPN to kiss the asses of the Patriots, I don't know what is...  :-D

Matter of fact... it's the only one on the list that I've never even heard of.  I even just asked a guy born and raised in Boston and he didn't even know it by name and thinks that it's stupid.

Yep, that's lame as hell. ESPN's clearly running out of list topics too.

Saints may be screwed.

I'd venture to say they won't miss a beat. Bush has been, at best, average this season. Dude looked like he was running in wet concrete since the start of the season.

At least Philly got #3. Problem is they left out the best part of the celebration, the Eagles chant at the end of the song.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

ESPN's Top 10 Touchdown Celebration/Rituals

QuoteSo, OK, this one's actually a pre-touchdown celebration, but it's pretty original, so it makes the list.

Every time the Steelers cross the 20-yard line and thus venture into the red zone, the two 35-foot-tall faux Heinz ketchup bottles on either side of the Heinz Field Jumbotron tilt 15 degrees, raise their caps and proceed to pour virtual ketchup onto the screen.

As the Steelers faithful wave their Terrible Towels and the men in black and gold chip their way toward the goal line, the screen fills up. Yes, it's a corporate gimmick; but it may well be the most innovative one in all of sports.

And what better topping could there be for a Roethlis-burger, anyway, than at little Heinz when Big Ben is leading Pittsburgh to the promised land?


Simply awful. 

I've experienced the Chiefs celebration on there, although I didn't know that the song has been banned by the NFL now.  I also experienced the Vikings horn which is annoying as all hell.  In both cases though, we started mocking the fans and using their own chants against them.
