When celebrating plays crosses the line into unsportsmanlike conduct, the person responsible is an idiot, who may or may not also be a selfish clown.
Which matters to... who?
Whom. And I imagine if you asked the Bills coaching staff, they'd probably tell you that it matters to the Bills.
the ridiculous penalty matters.. I'm sure if you asked any couch or player in the league if that should have been a penalty, they'd tell you NO...
I'm pretty sure he got the penalty for falling to the ground long after the dance. The dance didn't draw the flag.
I don't remember what they called the penalty, but with all the buzz, I assumed they were calling him for taunting or excessive celebration.. I don't remember hearing the ref official say anything about falling to the ground. But I'd agree that if he should have been called for something, it would have been that, and not mocking Burress shooting himself, as the thread is titled and as many posters here seem to have issue with.Still, as stupid as it is to get a penalty for whatever they called, it certainly wasn't the make or break point in the game like many here insist.. The botched kick put NY in scoring range at the half, and the poor defensive play lost this this game..
