So "nyah nyah, I'm gonna score on you" is that much worse than "nyah nyah I scored on you?" Interesting.

If they want it out so bad, just make it a rule they have to go straight to the nearest ref and hand the ball to him with no celebration at all.

I wasn't watching this game, but I did see it replayed on SportsCenter, along with the post game commentary by Bowden. Of course he didn't like the call.

I was also glad to see that in the Rose Bowl, a USC receiver did the same thing as he scored their 2nd TD of the game, and it also drew a flag from the covering official.

We had a situation in a high school game this season. Last game of the regular season. Kid gets an unsportsman like early in the game for some extracurricular activity OOB after a play had ended. Later in the game, he breaks loose on a run for about 40 yds and does the flip into the endzone. Our BJ and HL both threw flags on it. Kid ends up ejected, and also misses their first round playoff game the following weekend.

Yes. You just have to imagine yourself in an opponent's place. Hard to convey the psychology. More accurately, it's, "Nyah, I'm gonna score on you. Or maybe I won't. Yes, I think I will." The other one is, "In case you didn't notice, I scored on you."
