CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The NFL has relaxed its celebration code of conduct.
The NFL's move toward relaxing an out-of-date stance seems long overdue and much ado about nothing at the same time.
If I can paraphrase cleveland.com sports columnist Doug Lesmerises when we discussed the league's action as part of our video debate series Prepare for List Off: the No Fun League can't help but draw attention to just what a stick in the mud it's been.
Not that the league didn't have its supporters. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, for instance, says football is a team game and individual hey-look-at-me celebrations tear at the fabric of what being a good teammate is all about.
