[QUOTE="Guacamole, post: 326057, member: 1124"] Lambeau Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [COLOR=#0645ad]taunting[/COLOR] and extreme celebration are both offenses in the [COLOR=#0645ad]NFL[/COLOR]; as a result, gaudy displays are often frowned upon. If the league views the act as highly offensive, large fines and even suspensions can be issued. In 2006 the NFL, in an effort to cut down on celebrations, amended its rules to include an automatic 15 yard [COLOR=#0645ad]penalty[/COLOR] against any player who leaves his feet or uses a prop, like a towel, or more specifically the football. The penalty is called as "excessive celebration". Simply [COLOR=#0645ad]spiking the ball[/COLOR] is not considered "excessive celebration". Jumping onto the outer wall to accept contact from fans, such as the [COLOR=#0645ad]Lambeau Leap[/COLOR], is also not considered such, as it is off the field of play. Many Packer players jump into the end zone stands in a celebration affectionately known as the "Lambeau Leap." The Lambeau Leap was invented by safety [COLOR=#0645ad]LeRoy Butler[/COLOR], who scored after a [COLOR=#0645ad]Reggie White[/COLOR] fumble recovery and lateral against the [COLOR=#0645ad]L.A.
