and clearly this is not the endzone. I just have to say, if watching millions of people mock this arrogant buffoon strikes you as unseemly then don't laugh at the arrogant buffoon.
Also, not a big sports guy, but one spikes a ball and dances when one has personally scored, when the other team fumbles the ball, no one spikes, they just point and giggle at the fumbling buffoon. So perhaps you just have the lingo wrong...
