So I’m working on Sunday night football 2 years ago. I’ve left site and at hotel after dinner. I get a text from the scorebug operator asking me about an update I ran on the software and something wasn’t working. It needed the game changed to “week 7” (was still at 6) in the XML. I try and tell him how to do this, and start with “go to my computer”. I get a “ok one second”.

Fast forward 30 seconds. “Ok, I’m at your workstation. Your laptop isn’t here though. Where is your computer?” Lololol

That's one hell of a delayed script

He got us on the long con

NFL to have referees strictly enforce taunting rule this season.

Can’t wait for 3 games a week to be decided by a knucklehead receiver or cornerback

Why? Trash talking is part of sports.

Also, IMO most "celebrations" are a form of taunting.  No Fun League.

Not only are they going to enforce it more, if you get 2 in a game you’re out. So soft. 

My interest in the NFL is waning fast. 

I just wonder how they arrived at this being necessary and good for the league. I would bet most fans want the opposite of this.

Taunting — at least the way it’s been called in year past — is only when it’s directed at another player. Like when they stand over then and talk shit or something. Is this rule going to impact celebrations? 

This is the video the NFL sent out on what they now consider taunting. One guy flexes and then Landry spikes a ball not even by the guy. I agree that celebrating shitty catches by some gets annoying, but it shouldn’t be a 15 yard penalty.

That’s a nothing call. Move on

Who knows, maybe. But I’m all for minimizing interruptions to the game. Do we need to stop and negate a big play because a particular player taunted another? 

I don't have a problem with the first play in the video getting a flag. The Landry one should also, imo -- but thats only cause I hate spiking the ball and wasting time. Spiking the ball should be reserved for a TD. Just talking trash, with no gestures towards another player should be play-on.

The worst taunting call I saw against the Browns last year was after OBJ gave the Little Rascals "hi" sign where he'd put his hand under his chin and wave his fingers. He did it toward the end zone, not at another player, and he'd been doing it all year and then they decide to call it.

No place for that kind of thuggery in the league!
