But the larger point is not so much to criticize the officials as to ask for consistency in the rule.

A body flip into the end zone and excessive celebration AFTER the score ought to be discouraged.

Highstepping or diving INTO the end zone is not worth penalizing.

The rule as it stands is ripe for inconsistency.

Can't read, can you?

As Mike said, the player who dove into the end zone did so to avoid being tackled. PERFECTLY LEGAL!!!!!

Hot dogging is USC. Avoiding a tackle is not. That is consistent. You just aren't able to understand it.

JRut is right. This guy's a troll and is going on my Ignore list. I encourage others to do the same.
