I did not say it was bigger, but when you are on TV you are not as concerned with the type of stage, you just like the stage. Then again not all of us are on TV for a living either.

High school kids who don't play the fool after scoring are usually either good kids to begin with or they're well-coached, or both, it seems to me. Good for anyone who practices restraint or minimizes the showboating, in my book. I don't expect them all to be Barry Sanders, but I'm always pleased by athletes who take the high road.

I see more Barry Sanders' type celebrations then I see "Ocho Cinco" type celebrations. Now I am sure part of this is the fear their coaches can have on those kids. And in college these are for the most part adults, so they are given some leeway. But the NCAA has taken more measures to curtail specific actions than the NF has ever needed to.
