Wes Welker was the subject of one of my posts a few weeks ago for this. Today, I stand here in support of Wes and his snow angel. I really have no idea what is wrong with what Mr. Welker did yesterday afternoon. Perhaps, the ref's reaction was a little overzealous and the NFL will realize this isn't worth wasting time on, but I doubt it.
I am all for punishing outrageous celebrations. Joe Horne's cell phone celebration was both stupid and outrageous. I am also in support of punishing celebrations that "show-up" the other team. I am looking at you Mr. Owens. However, I am not in support of punishing innocent celebrations.
What did Welker do that was any worse than the Lambeau Leap? He didn't plant a prop for later use. He didn't do anything pointed at the Arizona Cardinals. He didn't make a statement in defiance of the league. He simply made a snow angel. It was a fun celebration in a game that was over before the first kick-off. I will be shocked if the NFL doesn't fine Welker and doing so would be another overreaction by Goodell and the league.

I guess as the commentators said, you can't go to the ground in an NFL celebration.
But it wasn't nearly as Brandon Jones and his clown move earlier this year-
