Brian Urlacher on Shawne Merriman...

"The thing is, if you're going to do it, do it all the time," Urlacher said. "Do it when you make a bad play too. You'll never see me doing any stupid [stuff] like that after a play. The only thing I'll do is get a little happy with my teammates."

I have always had the utmost respect and admiration for Brian Urlacher as a player and an individual, but even more so now. Get rid of these stupid "look at me" dances......celebrate with your teammates.

yeah I really hate Merriman's stupid dance, It is the most annoying thing that a player does in the NFL right now, I enjoy TD celebrations and stuff like that, but Merriman looks like he is straight CONVULSING he looks like he has an epileptic problem

I loved it when Vernon Davis did it right to his face in the Preseason game

Guess you missed this thread:

Merriman puts "Light's Out" mantra aside

And why is he singling out Merriman. Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, and the hundreds of other athletes who celebrate don't do it after a bad play. They do it after a good play.

Not really a big deal... just adds a little more build up to the game.

I don't like Shawne Merriman as much as the next guy because he's officailly a cheater, once a cheater always a cheater. Seriously though, you all act like he is the only one who does this. Most people want to promote WR's and their ridiculous antics, but frown on Merriman? Oh, and how can this even be fair to Merriman? No one says a word when Ray "I can get away with murder" Lewis has an even more ridiculous dance than Shawne Merriman by miles. If you're going to hate on one player for one thing then keep it fair and hate on all players doing that one thing.

I like it when the patriots do it to taunt him. That's my favorite.

Whatever they do to "pump" themselves up is fine with me. (Latenmer dance Wink

) Sure, they sometimes or usually look like idiots, but it motivates them, their teammates and the fans of THAT team. Making fun of it is just as interesting. Laughing

I think the reason why he stopped doing it is because he needs to conserve that energy without the supplement boost. Wink

If he stays clean, performs just as good without the juice and leads by example, then he'll feel that some of the "taint" will come off his namesake. He's already thinking about his future after football and is getting good advice from someone. Good luck Merriman. Smile

This is why the NFL stands for no fun league. People don't allow the players to just have fun on the field with excesive celebrations. If he wants to dance, let him. It really isn't harming any one.
