Title: Taunting Calls Post by: Philly Fin Fan on November 22, 2010, 03:57:40 pm Someone had something in the brandon Marshall thread, which i wanted to reply to, but felt it deserved its own thread...
Phish felt that the I thought everyone's reactions to the last game were a bit overblown (including the taunting penalty given by the ref). I was texting with Brian about taunting calls yesterday. Its amazing what some refs call and what they let slide. And this has been going on for years. I forget what game I was watching, but a guy made a sack, and afterwards it looked at though he was saluting the QB laying on the ground. Why isn't that taunting? When JT used to get a sack, and did his little motion where he "drew" a heart with his hands and then "punched it", why isn't that considered taunting?

They let a lot of stuff go when a guy makes a play.

Title: Re: Taunting Calls Post by: Phishfan on November 22, 2010, 04:52:21 pm I think the high stepping is supposed to be a penalty now.
I don't like judgement panalties. Unless a player is in another players face with their celebration, I think it should be fine.

Ripping off your helmet after a big play shouldn't be penalized either, unless you do something stupid like smack someone with it. Doing some sort of celebration dance or gesture on your own or with teammates = ok Doing it in the face of an opposing team member= not ok |
