Michael Thomas Recreated The Joe Horn Flip Phone Touchdown Celebration After He Buried The Rams

As if this Rams-Saints game wasn’t fun enough, we have Michael Thomas bringing the memory of Joe Horn back to life. What a moment. What a name. Just say that name over and over without laughing. Joe Horn. Joe fucking Horn.

Anyway, where did Michael Thomas even get a flip phone in the year 2018 of our Lord? Did Andrew Luck let him borrow one or was Nana Thomas phoneless for hours all because her grandson wanted to do a pay homage to one of the great ridiculous moments in sport history that happened back when the NFL had a different hilarious celebration from a different wide receiver every week? There are more questions than answers right now. The only downside to that touchdown is that Mercury Morris definitely started unwrapping the foil from his bottle of champagne once Thomas started looking for his RAZR.

Also I don’t want to hear anybody talk about how Thomas shouldn’t have done that celly and cost his team yards. When the Rams come into your stadium with the swagger of an undefeated team in a potential playoff preview, you gotta hit them directly in the mouth. And bringing the Joe Horn celebration back from the dead as you step on their throats is exactly how you do that, even if Joe Buck and Troy Aikman clearly had noooooo fucking clue that this was done in honor of Joe Horn back in the day when Aaron Brooks used to sling it all over the Superdome and Deuce McAllister was running wild.

The fact you can even get penalized for that celebration while slugging beers is fine and dandy in the CFL tells you all you need to know about the No Fun League under Dictator Goodell.

P.S. I need to see players continue to do throwback celebrations, starting with whatever Titan can mistakenly find the endzone tomorrow and flexing on the Cowboys star like TO did once upon a time.

Okay, a Titans touchdown may be too much to ask for. I’ll take the Titans punter hitting the Jerrytron followed by him disrespecting the star because fuck the Cowboys.
