"Celebration" Incident in Ohio

I wouldn't wave off, either.  Granted, he'd have without a doubt "earned it" before I threw it.

I cant imagine how that's EVER a flag. What's next, 15 yards for pumping their fists after a big play? Come on guys...

Agreed. And as to the "he was warned before"  ...why would it even deserve a warning?

That is like saying, I flagged him because I warned him before not to question a foul I flagged and when he questioned me the next time I flagged him

Agreed. And as to the "he was warned before"  ...why would it even deserve a warning?

Eh, I think that's meant to indicate that the ref had said "Relax, guys. Go to your bench, guys. Guys. Guys. ..."

Did anyone notice #34 apparently taunting the opposing player after the TD?  He jumped up right in his face and turned toward him as the opposing player leaves the area.

One of the articles says the players had been warned earlier in the game and that Ohio made this a strong point of emphasis this year.  While I probably wouldn't have called this, I wasn't there and don't know what I would have done in this official's place.
