Jaguars set to have the best TD celebrations this season

Found August 14, 2012 on Down and Distance: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Barry Sanders
TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars

Tired of the age old antics of showboating after a Touchdown, Jaguars Head Coach Mike Mularkey says he will donate $250 to the Ronald McDonald House of Jacksonville for every touchdown scored without a celebration after. The Jaguars organization is in on the donations too, and they will match Mularkey’s $250 for a total of $500 each time.

We’re hoping the Jaguars can find the endzone several times this season, as a non-celebratory act will benefit the community, and if they get to the endzone consistently, fans of Jacksonville will be proud of a team that has pulled it together.

This reminds me of the great Barry Sanders, who would score a Touchdown and toss the ball back to the Official like nothing ever happened because he knew he’d find himself there again.Not that there’s anything wrong with celebrating, as it brings a lot of fun (and flags) to Sunday afternoon, but seeing such a great thing by the Head Coach and Team is awesome.

By the time the third game comes along and the starters actually play a whole half, I’ll be fully in regular season mode.

Should they? Shouldn’t they? There’s nothing definite to talk about...
