Am going a bit off topic here, but some NFL player was fined over Veterans Day for dropping to one knee in the end zone and flashing a salute to the veterans in the stands.

Tebow and others drop to one knee and utter a silent prayer.
No penalty for that - not yet anyway - am sure it is coming.

I will never understand all these idiotic end-zone antic penalties ( to supposedly prevent celebratory acts or taunting and teasing - aw the poor little things )

Is there really a NFL rule that says you can’t salute on one knee. What if you drop to one knee, make the sign of the cross, and render a salute?

I think the NFL needs to 'buzz off' when it comes to end zone celebrations. They make noise about everything they do being for the fans...except this. The fans love it. At least the majority.

By the same token, I take this quote to heart:

"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."

-- Darrell K. Royal

I think that's the best policy.
