NFL= No Flipping Lions

At least we know the Lions problems arent Bill Ford. The league has sent out a directive. 'Interpretate' the Lions to no better than 3-13.

He was celebrating because the official closest to him called the play a touch down.

Forsure, but he should of known it would be reviewed and be incomplete since he didn't complete the catch. Instead of hurrying up to celebrate he should of just took the 1 second to secure the ball and win the game.

The rule is there for a reason, you have to complete the catch, this is the exact reason the rule was made because people would quick spike the ball and celebrate before they even had full possesion, or on the way out of bounds they would release the ball so they could hurry up and celebrate.

this is what i hate about the nfl. this goes on constantly and they change rules every year but it will never end.

what is a catch? what isn't a catch?

what is a td? what isn't a td?

what is pass interference? what isn't pass interference?

when is it holding? when isn't it holding?

what is a fumble? what isn't a fumble?

when can you call timeout? when can't you call timeout?

what ball can you kick with? what ball can't you kick with?

what is excessive celebrating? what isn't excessive celebrating?

this list could go on and on...

it's getting rediculous imo.

How does he know what the ref called? Watch the video.

Apparently Johnson has eyes on the back of his head because he's already well on his way to showboating before the ref gives a signal.

Touchdown Disallowed After Ref Drops Ball Handed To Him By Player

SEPTEMBER 17, 2010

KANSAS CITY, MO—Chargers' tight end Antonio Gates' 3-yard touchdown reception against the Chiefs Monday was ruled incomplete after referee Doug Rosenbaum bobbled and dropped the ball handed to him by Gates. "The rule in question states, 'A referee must maintain possession through the entirety of the post-touchdown player-to-referee-exchange, and make a clear officiating move," NFL vice president of officiating Carl Johnson said at a press conference Tuesday. "Not only must the official signal a touchdown, receive the game ball, hold it, and twirl it around a little in his hands, but he must also take it home with him and keep it in his possession for at least three days. That is the only way a touchdown is officially recorded in the NFL." Johnson insisted the rules of the league must be upheld, because otherwise fans might actually be happy.
