Let's get the preliminaries out of the way:
• First, scripted on-field celebrations have become the lamest, most exhausted, least meaningful act in professional sports.
• Second, the loser of a big game forfeits the right to get truly hot under the collar about what the winning team does, no matter how stupid it looks.
And so, putting these together, we arrive at the following conclusions:
1. The Patriots acted like kids celebrating a Little League win on Sunday;
2. It never looks any better no matter who's doing it; and
3. The Chargers are just gonna have to shut up about it.
