Lions confirm: Stephen Tulloch tore ACL celebrating

It’s bad enough he was compared to a Gramatica.

Now Stephen Tulloch has the entire season to plan his next celebration.

The Lions confirmed that Tulloch tore his ACL yesterday while celebrating a sack, and would be placed on injured reserve.

As difficult a break as it was, Lions coach Jim Caldwell knows it’s hard to curb such celebrations.

“It’s not going to happen,” Caldwell said. “This is an emotional game. We want enthusiasm.”

The Lions thought they ended their bizarre injury luck when they let veteran receiver/pizza delivery guy Nate Burleson go this offseason, but this may be even worse.

In a related development, high fives have been prohibited, and Ndamukong Suh has been given a big, soft, fuzzy boot to wear when he feels like stomping someone.

At least there's no danger of that being a problem for us.

I guess there are some teams that are more cursed than the Rams are. Only a few, but hey.

Better than tearing your sack while celebrating a LB.



I'm not really sure what that means...

Total "want to get away? " moment.

That guy is one unlucky sonofabitch! Tulloch is a good player - this is a career defining moment for all the wrong reasons

I've always wondered why coaches didn't ban the jumping celebrations because of just what happened to Tulloch. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more. Cards kicker Bill Gramatica did it a few years ago jumping up by himself celebrating a field goal.

I wish they would get rid of that crap! Serves him right. It's a team sport and nothing says me me me me me more that a stupid celebration. Did Deacon Jones ever dance around? Did Jack Youngblood ever Dance around? Jack Lambert of the Steelers? I've become my father wishing for the old days, Ha!

I doubt you complain when Quinn does his sack dance. . . .
