I think John Madden got it right last night by saying that there are rules and then there is the "Spirit" of the rules. As we all know that circumstances can dictate when you enforce some of the "conduct control" rules. Madden made the point that players routinely come on to the field to celebrate a touchdown etc... and 12 men on the field could be called but is ignored.
I do not think he berated the officials for calling it and since the NFL refs are under a microscope they probably make those calls early in the season and then get a P.O.E. now about enforcing it.
