That's why some universities have 100,000 in attendance at their games. And, if nobody watches NCAA football on TV, would the networks spend multi-millions of dollars to televise the games? And have sponsors standing in line to pay for commercials?
My sarcasm missed the mark, I see, BZ. |

Mike Pereira, the NFL VP of Officiating, appeared on NFL Total Access this afternoon (Wed., Jan. 24). He explained three calls made during the Conference Playoffs. As for the non-call on Reggie Bush, he stated that it should have been flagged for taunting. And that the officials have been told to penalize that kind of behavior, even in the Super Bowl.

And before anyone starts thinking the NFL has come to their senses on the post TD stuff, what he said should have been flagged was the taunting the Bears during the run and not the end zone flip after the score. I guess it is a start.

Given that play how would everyone have handled all that in NF and NCAA if it happened to you. You had three separate acts. All pretty distinct.The taunt, the flip and the dance.
Would you have had called one, two or three? |

My Opinion
Quote:
By then I'd be out of flags, Macho-man would be hasta la vista, and a 65 yd extra point is only ever-so-slightly less likely than a 50 yd extra point at the high school level. The third USC is meaningless. Besides, with two flags already on the ground, he's probably not going to be doing too much dancing! |

I'm aiming for youth sports, where moves like that have no place, in my opinion. At that level, I'd very much like to see a rule change making most USC a live-ball foul. |

Bush gets a slap on the wrist
The NFL finally gave Bush a $5,000 fine not for his flip but for his pointing.
That amounts to a mere pittance out of Bush's contract. Still have to wonder why the officials did not give him a 15-yarder right then and there. |

The NFL players cannot do whatever they want. In this play, it was legal for him to flip and then dance. However, it was not legal for him to taunt. He should have been flagged for taunting.
