I grew up a Packer fan, and in my opinion the Lambeau Leap is the best celebration in all of sports; an excited player jumps into the stands to be congratulated by all of his teams fans. Hell, the leap was started by Leroy Butler, a Packer fan favorite for over a decade, after he scored one of his 3 career touchdowns (in a game that also secured the Packers a playoff spot). He was just so excited he leaped into the stands. Ever since that game it's been a tradition at Lambeau to jump into the stands after you score a touchdown, and no matter who you are, whether you're paid $10 million or $300,000, the fans will reach down and pull you up.
According to these rule changes a leap would be a 15-yard penalty. That is, to put it in simple terms, BULLSHIT.
Heres to hoping at every home game the Pack kickoff at the 15 yard line a few times a game next year.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
