The one thing Chad does different from T.O. is Chad's celebrations do not rub in the face of his opponents.

And this is the key difference. Chad's celebrations, even the ones that seem to cross the line into gaudiness, are harmless. They're silly, goofy, and funny. They give the fans something to laugh about. He's one of the most beloved receivers (outside of the AFC North) by all fans because of his antics.

Contrast this with TO, who alienates other players both on and off his team, coaches, owners, and most importantly, fans. Everyone in the country except Drew Rosenhaus thinks he's an arrogant jerk, a consummate anti-team player, and a symbol of what's wrong with professional sports today.

So equating the two is stupid.
