re: T Bob's helmet toss

I haven't read the entire thread, so my apologies in it's already been posted. But Rogers Redding was interviewed this morning on ATL radio and explained the rule. Said that the point of the rule is geared towards actions that happen throughout the game (i.e. fights, touchdown celebrations with time to play, etc.) He said that it was never their intention to throw a flag for the emotional reaction after winning a game, as they were not going to play that kind of factor. That has been his stance, and that is what he expects out of the officials going forward.

I look at it kind of like Auburn's drinking on campus during football games. It is illegal to drink on campus, but the cops don't care and you are not going to get busted for it as long as you stay within certain boundaries.

Hope this helps, and sorry if already posted.
