And I feel CB should have looked the other way on this one.

So Manny... I am a little hung up on your contradiction here. Should he have been tossed or not? How can you say he should have been and then say that CB should have not tossed. Very confusing....

I guess I didn't make my point clear. My bad.

I feel that all these kinds of incidents should result in ejections. There should be no leeway given.

But leeway is given depending on certain circumstances. In my opinion, a couple of those circumstances existed here. That's why I think CB was too quick to pull the trigger.
