REPLY: Actually saw a "taunting" foul (announced that way) called in an NFL game a few weeks ago. Don't remember the game, but I think it was the last regular season game. Offender (defensive back) got into the receiver's face yelling and pointing after knocking down a pass. It does happen...

I had an NFL official I know tell me they had a session on what is, and isn't a celebration/taunting. They are instructed on how to call these things.

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.

Reggie Bush may be an ex-Heisman winner soon.

And USC may have one less national championship on their record.

Stay tuned......

Yup, and anybody that thinks that this is an isolated case is living in la-la land too.
