Send off #18 for offense (2) violent conduct, he teed off on him from 15 yards away and blind sided him for no real reason other than retaliation. Send off #9 for offense (6) insulting gesture, I consider the forcible removal of a piece of an official's equipment by a player to be insulting to his ability to interpret the action on the field. He was doing his job and the player wasn't allowing him to continue and as such is clearly an insulting gesture to his authority. Caution # 11 & 19 for Offense (2) dissent by their actions of arguing and generally getting in the (center's) face even as he was clearly trying to do his job but their actions did not rise to a send off level. The only caveat that may come into play there is if they were captains and as such are in a position to inquire as to an officials reasoning.

Too much of this type of crap in sports today!
