    When the NFL said this offseason that it would start penalizing players who dunk the ball over the crossbar, it was referred to as the “Jimmy Graham rule” after the Saints tight end who caused a game to be delayed by knocking a goal post off-balance in the NFL’s version of shattering the glass.

    But Graham isn’t the only NFL player who celebrates touchdowns by dunking. And Lions receiver Calvin Johnson believes he can get away with dunking as long as he does it right.

    “I’m still going to dunk,” Johnson told the Detroit Free Press. “I just won’t touch the rim.”

    I wish more guys would do this. Dunk the ball, celebrate touchdowns, etc. I miss the entertainment factor from the players.
