ESPN has it all wrong, here are the real top 10 TD celebrations

[RobFunk]

1. Terell Owens - Sharpie
2. Terell Owens - pom pom
3. Derek Brooks - lay up over the goal post in the super bowl
4. Jamal Lewis - Dirty bird (this caused the ban of team celebration in the NFL)
5. Icky Woods - icky shuffle
6. Terell Owens - MJ "thriller dance"
7. Alvin Harper - super bowl dunk on goal post not tony gonzalez idiots
8. george popaneau of chargers - drinking out of football like its a coconut in the SB blow out to the niners
9. Terell Owens - Muscle man pose facing the crowd with foot on the ball
10. Joe Montana - Raised fist

any list without billy "white shoes" johnson is automatically wrong. He wasn't the first, but he was the best. its like comparing babe ruth to bonds. White shoes did what he did in an era when NO ONE had TD dances.

8.) that would be alfred pupunu

 

[blueedwards]

barry sanders handing the ball to the official then jogging to the sidelines while the pat team takes the field.

 

[BMan+]

you mean Jamal Anderson

 

[BigGamesOnly]

How about the Fridge when he made his TD?

 

[exilarch]

What about the Philadelphia Eagles kneeling down in a circle, playing craps with the ball.

 

[epper]

I loved when barry would not even stop and keep jogging, flip it into the refs hands and keep jogging.

the fun bunch

anytime a fat lineman does anything dumb

someone did some breakin once

the fun bunch
whenever a packer jumps into the stands

 

[Rudy1957]

Let's not forget the graddaddy of all TD dances: Elmo Wright's warpath march in the end zone.

Trivia quesation: who was the first ball spiker? NY fans should get this one.

 

[RobFunk]

winky and bman, yes correct. too much of a hurry.

 

[arnie'sarmy]

I believe Homer Jones did the first spike.

 

[KMAN]

blue edwards is right. Barry Sanders had the best TD celebration by far .

KMAN

 

[Rudy1957]

Arnie's Army is right; Homer Jones of the NYG was the first spiker. It was quite modest by today's standards.

Some other favorites: Merton Hanks' Funky Chicken & the Eagles playing craps.

 

[KidSwamp]

Derrick Brooks didn't do the lay up in the super bowl. That was Keenan McCardell.

 

[RobFunk]

there are many flaws in my list. I was just heated when I saw ESPN's top 10, and they had so many ommisions and gave wrongful props to some of the guys. thats really what this thread was about. not so much my top 10, but all the memorable ones I didnt see on the evening sportscenter. anyways I also think it was michael Irvin who dunked the ball in the super bowl, not harper. and terell owens as tasteless as it was the putting the ball on the cowboys star is propably better than my #6 or #9. and I would probably include sanders in there and have less owens. terell is so flamboyant, his celebrations stick out fairly easy.

 

[the hog]

One memorable one for me is T. Davis and the Mile High Salute. Good list going here.

 

[RobFunk]

oh yeah and brett favre "put the 6 shooters back in their holster"

 

[BigGamesOnly]

Was it Bo who just kept running into the tunnel after his TD on MNF?

 

[ravenfan]

i would have to go with barry and emmitt with the pitch to the refs.
