Endzone/homerun celebrations

This is one of the better victory celebrations I've seen in while: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_09_06_sfnmlb_milmlb_1&mode=wrap

This guy - http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/12187048 - says that Prince Fielder is trying to have it both ways by going ballistic when he got hit by a pitch and then having an elaborate victory celebration a few weeks later. Maybe if I was the pitcher who gave up that home run I would feel different, but I think that columnist is all wet. I enjoy a good endzone or walk-off home run celebration. Terrell Owens, for example, does great endzone celebrations. I think my favorite endzone celebration was by the guy on the Saints who hid a cell phone under the goalpost padding so he could call his mother after a touchdown. I don't care who you are. That's funny. If the humor is there, then I don't see it as showing up the opposition. The problem is that so many of the celebrations are so lame, they appear to be just plain bad sportsmanship.
