OFTEN IMITATED..

NEVER DUPLICATED

The Leap began the day after Christmas in 1993 on a frigid day at Lambeau (the third-coldest ever at the stadium). The 8-6 Packers were looking to clinch a playoff berth for the first time in a full season since 1972 and were in good shape, holding a 14-0 lead. While on defense against the visiting Los Angeles Raiders, LeRoy Butler forced a fumble that was picked up by the late Hall of Famer, Reggie White. After running for 10 yards with the ball, White lateraled to Butler, who went 25 yards for the touchdown. When he reached the end zone, Butler says he spontaneously jumped into the crowd in celebration. A new tradition was born.

Why would you penalize someone who has scored a TD. Should be able to do whatever they want short of taunting. College rules are bullshit on this.

Main reason is that it is an acceptable white person celebration that the NFL sanctions.

Hate to say it but I agree. Use to love Billy White Shoes Johnson and the Iggy shuffle. :0074

2 weeks ago i saw a college kid score a TD and he put a finger on his face mask so it looked like he was telling the crowd to SSSHHHHHH and he got a 15 yd penalty...What a joke that was.
