Dumbest Penalty Ever

If they're going to penalize stuff like that it should be more severe. The guys know they're going to get hit with a penalty and they just don't care. Look at Richt's endzone celebration. They ate the penalty to serve a purpose. If the penalty was more severe they wouldn't think twice about it. Class or no class.

I'm all about the game being fun (and played by the rules) but think they ought to make the penalty actually sting or just drop it all together.

That was the ref's choice. He could have thrown players out that left the bench or called a 15 yarder on as many players as he wished. Instead, he accepted thug behavior and only called a single penalty.
 
I am definitely going to agree on the flipping / diving into the end zone unnecessarily. Remember Adrian Peterson last year broke his collarbone doing that and missed a good part of the season.

1. I don't get the number of people that keep saying Adrian Peterson was showing boating. He got hit by a guy on the two yard line and stumbled into the endzone.

2. The gene pool is better off without anybody that can't do a simple forward tuck and roll in 20 lbs of football equipment without breaking their neck.
