Dre Bly You Sir Are An Idiot..Gets Stripped While Showboating
I am pro-celebration. If you make a big play to help your team I could care less if they entire team does the “cupid shuffle” in the end zone.
I only have three rules when it comes to players celebrating.
1- Don’t celebrate if you are getting your butt kicked.
I witnessed Saint Louis Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery score a TD, brush off his teammate so he could do the “Stankey Leg”.
I must admit it was a good version of the Stankey Leg, but there are two real minor things that should be pointed out.
Avery plays for the Rams who are 0-5 and his score made it 31-10. Here is a hint, the Rams didn’t have the 31.
2- Don’t celebrate when you make a routine play.
Every week you see a player jump up from a 5 yard hitch play like they was just a part of the Immaculate reception part 2.
3- Don’t celebrate until you actually made it to the end zone.
Most people call this the “Desean Jackson rule” who famously drop the ball at the one yard line before going into a very bad end zone dance last year.
But in comparison to Dre Bly, Jackson would get a traffic ticket while Bly needs to sentence for life for murder.
Bly actually violated all three rules. First his team was down 35-10. Second he made a nice play, but it is a play he is expected to make & lastly I have to go to a new paragraph to explain.
Bly makes the INT at the 49ers 10 yard line. He is 90 yards away from the end zone with Roddy White chasing him. The same Roddy White who outran the entire 49ers secondary on a 90 yard TD reception, so you think Bly would understand that White is pretty fast.
At around the 49ers 25 yard line Bly decides to go “Deion Sanders” with the high step and hand behind the helmet.
Of course while trying to perfect his showboating routine, White tracks him down and strips of the ball.
All I could do is shake my head.
Here is my public service announcement to all NFL DBs:
YOU ARE NOT DEION SANDERS
You not even close to being Primetime, so stop being a biter and be original. At this point I am expecting to see one of these guys shooting a “Must Be The Money 2″ The wannabe remix.
I said it in the title and I will say it again.
DRE BLY YOU SIR ARE AN IDIOT.

Amen! I love Dre Bly, but he wasn't even past mid-field yet.
lmao @ you are not Deion Sanders. I was in awe of him the other day thinking about the fact he played two sports on the major league level at the same time. That's a damn athlete.
now that he has apologized for his mistake. thats ok. he wil learn something from this experience…
Yeah, a lesson he didn’t learn with the Rams, Lions, or Bronocos. He’s not that damn special. If I was Mike Singletary, I would find some way to get this clown off my team. He wants winners. Bly is not one.
He may learn from his mistake but he's still an idiot.
I wonder if during this highlight, Stuart Scott will still yell, "Tarheel!"
When Dre was at UNC, he was on the punt return team. The snap went to the punter, who executed a fake punt, and lofted a ball 50 yards downfield toward the left pylon. Bly, instead of knocking the ball away (mind you, it was 4th down), INTERCEPTED it and fell out of bounds at the one yard line. Then to top it off, he got up CELEBRATING, and didn't even realize what an idiot he was until he got to the sideline and had it explained to him. Then, he kept on celebrating like some python that has been beheaded but doesn't know it's dead yet.
I watched the Vikings Rams game and laughed my head off at what a fool Avery looked like when he did his TD dance. Not only were the Rams down by 28 before the score, but there was only 6 minutes left in the game, and he did it against a back up because Minnesota had already pulled its starters.
Thanks for pointing that out!

[...] And a helpful note to those prospective football stars whether they dream of the NFL or the UFL. Don’t celebrate before you reach the endzone. Actually, never celebrate. It usually works out better in the end. (BSO) [...]
Said part is , it looks like the ball didn’t come out to his arm hit the ground. (after his knees had already hit the ground)
