Some of the celebrations were over the top, but I think that all the ones that you mentioned, Mal, are still legal under the new rule, although I'm not 100% sure about Green Bay. Most of Owen's antics would be out, although I'm not sure about spiking the ball at midfield when he played for the 49ers.
It was interesting watching the tournament games last weekend with a friend of mine who's a huge critic of what he calls "unnecessary celebration". He hates Chad Johnson for that reason, and he's a huge Bengals fan (I know, doesn't make sense to me either but whatever). So George Mason wins, and their players went absolutely nuts, running up and down the court and jumping up on tables. He started off with his usual diatribe about "acting like you've been there before" when my wife pointed out that none of the George Mason guys have ever "been there before" and that this was unprecidented. God, I love being married to a sports fan sometimes (except during baseball season, but that's because she's a dirty South Sider).
