As the NFL continues to make new rules, the “No Fun League” moniker begins to make more and more sense. The latest rule that was passed by the league will ban players from dunking the football on the field goal post moving forward, since that technically would be using the ball as a prop.

Luckily for Tony Gonzalez, he retired just in time and he seems to be aware of the league’s silly new rule:

The NFL says no more dunking over the goalpost. This one I don't understand. Looks like I got out just in time.

Now we just need to worry about New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham.
