What was the dance Fenton was doing when he got his taunting penalty?

Looked like he was mimicking shooting a gun.

CEH pointing his finger directly at someone is a stupid rule, but we've known it's a rule since before the season started when they specifically targeted Tyreek Hill putting up the deuces at someone when he was making the same play.

Hurt feelings, seems like a simple correlation to me.

When the NFL rules committee/ownership decided to make this a big issue this year, I was hoping the refs would basically ignore it, like a few things in the past.
Seems like there was pass interference challenge to their calls either way that has gone by the wayside because they basically said **** you and wouldn't overturn.

Hmmm.

The cabal of elderly white billionaires choosing to do away with young (mostly) black men celebrating - against the public wants and desires - doesn’t scream “woke” to me.

Something else maybe, but definitely not “woke.”

they called this really fast, but when the Cowbois are ripping helmets off, way too long to be called...



Maybe we can just go to eye in the sky (NY) calling the games... Don't they have access to the all 22 during the game?

Pretty much.

Those rich assholes just want to put their thumb in. Probably a $1 bet between a couple of them..

I have no idea how the refs initially got that wrong. On the replay, you see the ref standing two feet away, staring at the dude ripping Fenton's helmet off.

I say keep taunting. Butker is more accurate from the 40s than he is normal XP distance

The NHL has it right.......let the guys drop gloves and fight it out. The players love it.......the fans love it.....


No one tunes OUT of hockey games because of fighting.

Like the NHL - if a player takes a helmet off (the universal sign it's go-time).......they have to sit 3 plays out (penalty box).

We're on to something here....

15yd penalty flags are nothing but another subjective way for refs to influence betting lines.

The refs are just doing what the NFL wants. This point of emphasis is beyond stupid.

Players, coaches and fans all hate it.

I actually think there is a possibility CEH was pointing towards Mahomes direction behind him for throwing the dime - like a thank you for tossing it.

Same with the late helmet to helmet on Mahomes, ref was right there and no call.

It's like they have tunnel vision for whatever the NFL says that week... why of course guys, we want you to keep an eye out for taunting AND helmet to helmet hits AND blatant face masks, at the same time!

No idea, really? You just can't conceive of a possible explanation? In a forum with Blackop and a guy that recently made a whole OP about Tim Donaghy's book?

I will refer you to Chapter 6 of this aforementioned book, entitled "How the Game is Really Played"

I fail to see what's "woke" about the rule. What the intent of the rule was, as Bearcat stated, was to keep things from escalating to the point a player gets injured. To many of these owners the players are just part of the equipment, some more valuable than others. They have to protect their assets. Let's not forget the monetary end of the NFL.
