I generally don't have a problem with the celebrations, though I do get a bit irked when an elaborate celebration is over a relatively routine play.  I think a sliding-scale rule of reason is generally appropriate.  Big TD celebrations?  Those are fun!  Touchdowns are important, so go nuts!  Nice open field tackle after a 5-yard gain on first down?  A high five or a helmet bump with some teammates feels fine for the nice tackle, but the guy still gained five yards, so no need to act like you just won the Super Bowl. 

Of course, on the extreme end of the excessive celebration spectrum is this play: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...ng-penalty

I think we can all agree that's absurd.  But for the most part, there aren't too many celebrations I see that cause me any grief.
