Amazon Pokes Fun At Rules Changes To Promote 'All Or Nothing: A Season With The Los Angeles Rams'
A while back, the NFL announced that it would be loosening the rules of Touchdown Celebrations. Using the ball as a prop, group celebrations and other things that previously would draw a flag are now legal. But using outside props, inappropriate gestures and taunting are still forbidden. To help promote their All Or Nothing: A Season With The Los Angeles Rams series, Amazon got comedians Flula Borg and Brian Baumgartner to film this throwback-style instructional videos trying to explain the new rules. Baumgartner plays a ref, Chad Flags, who is explaining while Borg is doing the celebrations.
Interesting that they decided to go with a comedic take to attract attention, as the series can be rather dramatic when it looks at players struggling to make the team or deals with the head coach being fired during the season. But the video is funny just the same.
All or Nothing: A Season with the Los Angeles Rams is available on Amazon now.
