What would your tribute entail?

I know that there are diehards out there, who recently celebrated Michael Jackson’s death with tributes, Facebook comments, memorial services that included moonwalking.
Check out this video from deadspin.com on how this CFL player paid tribute to Michael Jackson after scoring a TD.
Truly unbelievable.
But it got me thinking, what would your end zone celebration be?
What would your tribute be (not necessarily sports related)?
I’m personally a fan of Terrell Owens’ antics on the end zone. I’m usually laughing when he does it, especially when he’s doing the cheerleader routine. I wasn’t offended by Randy Moss faking that he was mooning the Packer fans. I loved Icky Woods’ dance, too.
My husband said they were always told to act like they’ve been there before when he played high school football. Of course, he rarely got there. His team wasn’t very good!
But me, I’d love to do the crazy stuff like Owens, but I know I wouldn’t have the guts.
As for tributes, I’ve never actually done one for anyone, although I have a friend who’s heading out to Neverland now.

My tribute…………………hmmmmm……..
My Tribute would include a world wide day of mourning. Followed by three days of a old fashioned rave fueled by ‘good’ German Techno music (non of that domestic crap for me) and the tasty beats of MGMT and the occasional Daft Punk. Yep the world would be one giant glow stick waving club kid. Then Jesus himself would come down from heaven and would indian leg wrestle the devil for my soul on a special Pay-Per-View event, all the proceeds would of course go to my favorite charity Single Moms and Strippers. Going to be Epic

Oh my. Still better than the ongoing public vs. private and renegades vs. mustangs.

I’m there, you mentioned moms so you gotta be a good guy.
I agree with you Joanna, but you must admit, getting Crack going again is always a good time!
I hope you don’t have to work tomorrow. I have a rare 3-day weekend. Yesss!

Joanna, you’re great, but I totally disagree. I thought Moss’ moon was sick. There’ a major difference between that and the Lambeau Leap. I also despise athletes who tug on their jersey to show their school name or number. I know who you play for. I don’t need you reminding me.

Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, Jim Brown those guys did it best. Hand the ball to the official and head for the sideline. Occasionally high five a teammate.
