Jimmy Graham is not happy about crossbar dunk ban

Peanut butter and jelly. Rust Cohle and Martin Hart. Jimmy Graham and dunking footballs. Some things are just better together.

The New Orleans Saints tight end might not have invented the celebration, but it's most certainly become his thing. That could change after NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino revealed Tuesday that dunking over the crossbar will be penalized, starting in the 2014 season.

After news of Blandino's comments spread, Graham took to Twitter to share his displeasure.

Curiously, Graham deleted the beautifully photoshopped tweet, then posted it again later in the day.

We wouldn't be surprised if the initial deletion was the product of guilt wracking Graham's 6-foot-7 frame. After all, it was Graham's violent dunk in November (on NFL Network airwaves no less) that likely served as the impetus for the rule change.

Perhaps Graham's new celebration should be to look at the man in the mirror.
