REPLY: Anyone watching this play objectively can see that his dive was not a case of him stretching out to reach the endzone just in case some pursuer grabbed hold of his ankle. Note that he didn't extend his arms with the ball. That would be a natural thing to do if the dive was warranted. No, he tucked the ball and his upper body so that he could completethe show with the somersault. It was a clear case of showmanship.
