27. Raiders break out the chainsaw

The goal post is always a great prop to use during touchdown celebrations. You can never go wrong incorporating it in and that’s what former Raiders running back LaMont Jordan. He used the ball as a chainsaw and pretended to cut down the goal post after scoring a touchdown back in 2005.

Unless you’re a diehard Jets or Raiders fan, you probably won’t remember Jordan other than this touchdown celebration. Anytime top end zone celebrations are mentioned, this one always seems to make the list. It won’t rank up with the Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco celebrations but it’s still a creative one in that. Jordan used the football and goal post in the celebration. Have to give him props for that.

Sometimes the lesser known players have some of the best celebrations. They might not have the most well-known careers but a memorable touchdown celebration could change that. Jordan did the celebration during a time when the NFL was cracking down on each and every celebration. He’s one of those players who really didn’t care about the pentalty or fine but just wanted to make sure he got on the highlight reel. Most of us can’t blame him. We would’ve all done the same in his place.

The chainsaw celebration isn’t one you’ll see often but I like it. It’s thinking outside of the box and better than some of the repeated celebrations we see over and over each week. It’s great to watch players spike the ball but Jordan gave us a little variety with his celebration.
