Signs of getting old

[cfbandyman]

Attended a wedding this evening.  Took third in the anniversary dance at 39 years.  Second was 48 years, first place couple have clocked 54 years.

They asked the husband how you manage to be married 54 years.  He said, "Stay alive. "

I get annoyed by all the lame ass celebrations in baseball and really most sports now.

I will maintain to my grave (soon since I'm old) that the most devastating celebration will always be to act like what you just did is the most boring, normal, easiest thing in the world for you.

It’s always been about the type of celebration to me. Not a fan of self-aggrandizement. Never have been.

Like, Michael Bishop pumping up the crowd in the corner of the endzone after that run vs NU is peak celebration. Teammates jumping on each other after a QB sack, or chest bumping after a great play in basketbal, and yelling in each other’s faces to hype each other up is great.

Guys doing a bunch of “look at me” stuff has always been lame.

Just to clarity, for you the point of a celebration is to inflict emotional damage on your opponent?

it does kind of read like _33 has been wounded more when an opponent goes bananas after a TD vs when they calmly walk off the field

I get a little annoyed at a big celebration for a pass defended on a first down early in the game or some 8-yard reception.  If it's a legit big play through, I want an absolutely circus.

Maybe belongs here, or competitive sport, or the pet peeve thread.
This is my first year helping coach or even being around softball and I can't stand the chants.

Ha, I never experienced that before prior to my kid playing baseball.I thought it was kind of weird too, but then it was adorable. It actually goes away pretty quick. They only did it for like 2 years and I think it stopped around 10U or so. I loved it when they made them up for specific players.

Yes, agree with all.

I guess I'm referring more to planned, look-at-me, show up the opponent celebrations rather than emotional spontaneous ones.

Avery doing the Deion dance after his first TD in Boulder was great. Howard and I can't remember who miming shotgunning beers was incredible. Haliburton giving the choke sign to the Knicks was fantastic. Lighten up, Francis.

I really don’t like Tobi’s freezing until someone touches him celebration. Gives me anxiety because his teammates are always slow to touch him.

Felix’s sack celebration was great.

Think that was BJ Finney and Will Howard on the coupla beers

[wetwillie]

BJ Finney is like 34 years old

Sheesh. You might be looking for the 'shame people for getting old' thread. In here there is no judgement.

We (or at least I) watch sports for entertainment. If the celebration is memorable were you not entertained?

The more I consider it the more I think it's mainly in regards to baseball. Act like you've hit the ball before my goodness. I know people will say it's about fun and passion but to me, and old person, it comes across much more lame in baseball.

None of those football celebrations bothered me and I did like the beer chugging ones. One football thing I do think is dumb is the entire defense running to the end zone and posing after every turnover. Also all the turnover props are unoriginal and lame now. It was fine when it was just a couple teams that did it but it was ruined quickly.

[star seed 7]

Watching baseball is definitely an old person thing

[_33]

For sure

Yes, it’s an unwritten rule in baseball not to pimp home runs. It’s something that the youngsters do more and more and the old timers grimace or throw at the opposing team for it.

[mocat]

That's what makes it badass in baseball. The other team gets so butthurt about it that the pitcher will literally try to kill the batter next time up. So i think it's safe to say acting like you've been there before is not "devastating" to the other team

[_33]

I understand I'm in the minority and it's a crusty old opinion. That's why I came to this board. Stop trying to convince me, I'm set it my ways.

[bucket]

I share your crusty old opinion and enjoy seeing those tools get plunked.

HE FLIPPED THE BAT?!?!

Time to give the unrelated next batter brain damage, I'm just old school like that.
