Periodically in a National Football League game the referees will call a penalty on a player for excessive celebration after a score. With that in mind I have a question; why isn’t the “Lambeau Leap” excessive celebration? I know that Green Bay fans will say it is tradition but there is no question it is excessive based on some of the other calls by referees.

Loren, it is an interesting situation in that the Lambeau Leap was grandfathered in when the NFL made the rule against excessive celebration. I have always wondered what the refs would do if a Packer did the Lambeau Leap in a stadium other than Lambeau.

Tom, Interesting. The fact that the Lambeau Leap was grandfathered in seems to me tacit admission that it is in fact excessive.
