Peterson was a running back (not a QB) and he dove into the EZ with players hanging on him in the process. He did not do a flip or outrun a lot of players and taunt them. Actually Peterson's effort was normal and more of a freak accident. You cannot even equate the two incidents. Both were great plays, but Peterson was surrounded by defenders and lunged into the EZ. Bush beat the entire Bears Defense and had enough speed to run completely away and then had time to flip into the EZ. Peace

But I also would've sworn that his dive wasn't really necessary. I remember it being discussed on sports talk. I though there were players around, but nobody making a play on him. Oh well, I've been wrong before. |

Peterson gets sort of tripped up by a tackler and he sort of flipped around. So it could have looked like something that it wasn't. It's the last play in this video.

REPLY: Thanks sj...that's the way I remembered it. Anyone who would call that USC should probably turn in his whistle (only kidding ). But that was clearly not a "hey-look-at-me-scoring-a-TD" dive into the end zone.

Right, it's important to remember that an unnecessary dive into the end zone isn't a foul - it's only a foul if it's obviously show-boating. I've had a runner dive into the end zone and I'm was sure he didn't need to in order to score, but there were defenders making a grab for him. From my view, the dive was not needed but he may have felt differently.

Along the lines of this topic it seemed to me that during the bowl games that excessive celebration and other UC acts were pretty prevalent. It just seemed like the 15 yards wasn't going to matter all that much. I was wondering if anybody else felt the same way. It would be interesting to see the statistics on the number of flags thrown for celebration compared to other years to see if the flags and penalties are really cutting the number of incidences down.
