He took the helmet off the remaining 3/4's of the way and tossed it with both hands. Clear show boating. There was nothing wrong with that call....and that was exactly why that was made an infraction in the first place. Pull your damn helmet back down onto your head and play football.

Which leads me to another train of thought. If the NFL is really dead serious about the concussion issues and head safety in the game, why is it not mandated top to bottom for every player on the field to have all 4 points (2 for those with 2) of their chin strap fastened? Neon Deion started it and it still hasn't gone away.
