After MJD was fined for using a goalpost as the ATM....I decided to showcase some of the most entertaining and controversial TD celebrations and to kick off the series....I'm going with Mr. 81 Terrell Owens
5. Night Night: In a game against the Washington Redskins, T.O. pretended to take a nap in the endzone, using the football as a pillow. The entire week heading into the game, the media had criticized Owens for the reports of him falling alseep in team meetings. Notice T.O. used the ball as a prop yet wasnt fined for this one.'

4. The Ray Lewis Dance: Ray Lewis and Terrell Owens famously feuded after T.O. was going to play for Baltimore but ditched them for Philadelphia having wanted to play for a contender. So when Philly played Baltimore T.O. scores and mocked Ray Lewis token pregame dance much to Lewis's dislike. Former Cornerback Deion Sanders came to Owens aid stating, “If you don’t want to see him dance, don’t let him score. Thats it.” Click here to watch the video.'

3. T.O. the Cheerleader: In a game against the Green Bay Packers, T.O. gets a touchdown and quickly snatches the pompoms of a San Francisco 49ers cheerleader. Owens proceeds to do a quick cheer and drops the pompoms on ground. Another fine-less TD celebration and was even repeated in a Nike commercial featuring an animated T.O and youknowwho (Vick has become the modern day Voldemort it seems).

2. To my number one fan signed T.O. : On a Monday Night Football Game against the Seattle Seahawks, Owens just couldn’t wait to give a lucky fan his autograph, so he stuffed a sharpie in his sock and went on the field. After scoring the touchdown, Owens pulls the hidden sharpie out of his sock and signs the football, handing it to a lucky fan in the stands. The “lucky fan” was actually Owens’ financial advisor. I found it hilarious even planned to do it in my high school game but had forgot the sharpie :( In the end a very controversial TD celebration

1. T.O. the Star: T.O. was having a great game against the Cowboys. After each of the two touchdowns he scored, Owens ran to the middle of the field, standing dead center of the Dallas Star and raised his hands triumphantly. The second time Owens did it, players of the Dallas Cowboys took offense to his actions. Safety George Teague leveled Owens and a small altercation between some players from both teams ensued. Owens was fined $24,000 and was suspended for a week. To this day I never understood why it was so controversial. But it seemed the Cowboy fans forgot all about this when he left Philadelphia
Honorable Mentions: Spygate, Rowing the Boat
Like Deion said: You dont like the celebrations keep em out the end zone.....
