The NFL relaxed its touchdown-celebration rules this offseason, which comes as welcome news to Antonio Brown. The Steelers wide receiver was fined several times for his twerk-tastic end-zone dances:

Great touch down baby!!

And while suggestive hip-gyratin' is still a no-no, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told team owners last month that group celebrations, using the ball as a prop after touchdowns, going to the ground and snow angels are all now legal.

And to commemorate the occasion, Brown and Goodell appeared together in a short video posted on Brown's Twitter feed.

"With the best commissioner in the game," Brown said of the only commissioner in the game. "We're allowed to celebrate now."

Goodell added: "Let's do it."

Not everyone thinks change is good though; Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said recently that he opposes giving players more freedom to celebrate.

"I'm not for that at all," said Lewis, who is on the NFL Competition Committee. "We had a good standard, and the whole standard has always been, you want to teach people how to play the game the correct way and go about it the correct way, and that's not a very good example for young people."

Ironically, it was Chad Johnson, Lewis' former player who was known for elaborate celebrations during his career, who helped convince Goodell to reconsider the rules. And it sounds like even Goodell has more faith in the players than Lewis.

"Well, I've heard it from Marvin before. We've had these discussions over the last couple years," Goodell said last month. "And I think the players will prove him wrong on that. I think the players will do this in a way that will be responsible, show good sportsmanship and do it in a way I think is entertaining but also respectful."
