Showboating before you get into endzone.

[SteelCurtain]

You are a compete moron either in college or NFL if you start celebrating before you cross the goal line. Once again, this time in a college clip today, a player thought he had already crossed the line and flicked the ball backwards and it landed on the 1 foot line and then he went in. That is so fucking stupid.

I remember long ago a Dallas Miami clip where the guy held the ball backwards while running to the endzone and a Miami player kocked the ball out of his hands.

JUST GET IN THE ENDZONE first.

In college football isn't celebrating before you reach the endzone a penalty? I remember watching a clip of an Australian punter in an American college who did a fake punt and ran for a touchdown, but he put his arms out to the side before he reached the endzone so they called it back. If I recall it's not a rule in Australia so he wasn't aware.

Here's the clip:

They changed that rule after one year. It's still a penalty, but not a spot foul. Les Miles pitched a hissy over that one. Rightly so, that was weak for taunting.

They need to do the same with the targeting ejections. I saw two BYU players get ejected tonight because the receiver ducked into a helmet to helmet hit. One was a crackback and they tossed a kid for almost no contact but because his shoulderpad grazed a facemask.
