Flag thrown for TD Celebration

[JRutledge]

I do not want to rip the guy, but this is common or minor in nature. If that was the first time he did that, talk to him. Now this official made a routine thing into a national issue where no one would have cared if he did nothing. We get ourselves in trouble by not using common sense.

Looking at some of the articles posted, the flag was thrown for a DOG cause of not handing the ref the ball in timely manner.

If that was the case it was an even weaker call

For 3 secs? I realize this is Fed rules and I don't think it should be much different than NCAA. Rogers Redding once said if you feel OK with it, then let it go. The rules are guidelines and can never cover each specific incident, so you have to go with your gut. My gut says this kid was thanking the man above and took less than 3 secs.
