Marion Barber Flips on his Face

Even when the Bears win, they screw up something and in this case it is the celebration.  In case you didn’t notice Marion Barber decided it was an awesome idea to do a back flip after he scored a touchdown in the Bears 34-29 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.  Well, it might have been an even more awesome idea if Marion Barber could do a back flip.  Check out the video after the jump to see what I mean.

 

Dude just planted right on his face.  Now I might just be old fashioned but doing a back flip isn’t probably the smartest idea for a guy who has just missed the first three games of the year with a calf injury, but who am I to say.  At least the refs had pity on him and didn’t flag him for excessive celebration, for going to the ground in celebration or whatever the stupid anti-fun rule the NFL has in place is.  I guess a team can only get flagged once in a game for doing poor, junior high, gym class tumbling routines as end zone celebrations.  And since they already flagged Hester earlier for doing three somersaults in the end zone, well then Marion Barber was allowed to do a 330 degree back flip.
