"Hand grenade" Celebration
 
Not sure if you are familiar with this one or not. This is where a player "pulls the pin" on the football throws it in the air and then the remaining players fall down when the ball hits the ground.

A88 scores a touchdown.

The remaining 10 players join in on the celebration. A88 "pulls the pin." The remaining fall down.

Charging all 11 players with an USC or just A88?

Be prety hard to call fouls on 11 players. I'm for flagging the guy who tossed the grenade.

You carry 11 flags with you? :)

Also, if I'm doing the math right, :rolleyes: I guess B could take seven of them on the try (which would be from A's 6 & 3/4th yard line) and use the other five on the kick off (which would be from K's 1 & 9/16ths yard line.)

It wouldn't go BANG if A88 hadn't pulled the pin. I figure it's his fault so he gets the flag.

Gotta stamp this out amongst players, grenades are reserved for the officials assessor to throw at the crew in his write-up if they huddle up when they shouldn't - "one grenade could get you all!".

Is proximity of the players of the same team a decisive factor as to whether they've joined the celebration and hence made it excessive? Or just the fact that they all knew what to do?

After I stopped laughing, I would probably just flag the kid that scored the TD. He started the act. ;)

Peace

CANADIAN RULING:

We'd just assess 1 OC penalty.

A stretch would be to assess 2: one for A88 and one for the other actions.

The fact that it was choreographed and not a "spontaneous celebration".

If you say so. :rolleyes:

bigjohn Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:09am

Pointing to the sky and praying are just as choreographed as anything else!!!

Call them all or none!

Welpe Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:11am

Yes of course, they are exactly the same. :rolleyes:

This is the type ridiculous logic that could ruin a great game and is currently trying to rip our nation apart.
