Pretty big disparity there.

The NFL has been harsh when it came to players getting creative in the end zone, and after speaking with over 80 current and former players, Goodell decided it was time for that to change.

"We are relaxing our rules on celebrations to allow players more room to have fun after they make big plays," Goodell said in his letter.

Some celebrations that are allowed under the new policy are group demonstrations, using the ball as a prop and celebrating on the ground.However, offensive demonstrations, taunting and excessive celebration are still means for a penalty flag.

"We know that you love the spontaneous displays of emotion that come after a spectular touchdown," Goodell added. "And players have told us they want more freedome to be able to express themselves and celebrate their athletic achievements."

Other changes to the NFL this season include banning the "leaper" block attempt, and most recently, shorterning overtime from 15 minutes to ten minutes in preseason and regular season games.

ESPN is bringing Hank Williams Jr. -- and all his rowdy friends -- back into the Monday Night Football fold, six years after the sports network parted ways with the brash country rocker following controversial remarks involving then-President Barack Obama.

Williams' new version of “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night," with his trademark opening: "Are you ready for some football?" will debut before a Sept. 11 game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings.

At first I was all like, "SWEET!!!"

Then I realized, "Wait no more Carrie Underwood? Bummer"

Then I also realized, "Hmm, I don't even know if Carrie Underwood does SNF or MNF."

Then I also also realized, "I don't even watch most of the time, so who cares"
