Handling Profanity?

[Schultj]

I think that these are all personal calls, so it is good to see how others would call it.

#1-Probably let it pass. I might say something to him to let him now I'm watching him like "hustle back 87".

#2-Definite warning, boarderline flag. If he yells it so all can hear it so as to make a spectacle of himself, flag it. If he's way downfield and few hear, I would think that a strong warning would do.

#3-Definite flag here, no doubt on this one. The question for me would be ejection. I would lean towards yes, but I would confer with my crewmates first.

#4-Definite taunting, flag it.

#5-Tough call. I would say flag it because the comment only will serve to instigate further verbal exchanges between the teams.

Side note-The NF has once again made a point of emphasis that the rule book does not have an provisions for warnings on this, and that officials should be flagging this more often.
