Buccaneers won't fire cannons after touchdowns at Super Bowl

The "No Fun League" has struck again. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are used to firing celebratory cannons whenever they score a touchdown during a game played at Raymond James Stadium in Florida. 

That won't be the case during Sunday's Super Bowl LV matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs

By the letter of the law, the NFL's handling of the matter is understandable. While Tampa Bay is the first team to play a Super Bowl on its home field, stadiums are meant to be neutral sites for championship games. According to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, the venue's cannons will fire only during pregame introductions and then remain silent regardless of what occurs through the final whistle. 

However, some Twitter users came up with a unique compromise the NFL, Buccaneers and Chiefs might want to consider before Sunday evening: Fire the cannons after every score. 

Is more cannon fire better than none at all? That would be for the Bucs and Chiefs to decide, and odds are everyone associated with both franchises is concerned with other issues as of Tuesday evening.
