Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs Bengals)

Smootsmack:

You know what we need here? We need a good debate on whether or not to replace Jim Zorn with Gregg Williams once Williams is fired in Jax. That would be fun...



OfficeLinebacker:

If Rock were fast enough, he would have put that runback in the end zone and that would have changed things a bit. Rock plays hard but does not have the kind of break away speed to be a top-shelf returner in the NFL.


Moss's penalty was a "no-brainer call" by the officials. If you use a prop as part of your celebration, then the officials use a yellow flag as their prop and march off 15 yards. Zorn said Moss didn't know the rule. That alone would qualify Moss as a meathead.

If you want to prevent that kind of nonsense, then the rule for the team needs to be simple and unversally applied: celebrate a TD such that the team gets a 15-yard penalty and you sit out for 4 quarters of football. That would stop the nonsense...

However, do you think Danny Boy would allow that rule to be enforced once one of his high-paid divas went to him and complained about having to sit out? Me neither.
