I don't know how many on here follow the NFL whatsoever, but this past weekend we saw the Arizona Cardinals coach get hit with a 100,000 dollar fine for physically shaking one of his players. Why would he do that you may ask.

Well the player had a game sealing score against the dreadful Tennessee Titans except he dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line. The Titans got the ball back and scored the game winning field goal as time expired.

I believe there was an Oregon player who did this against Boise last year. Luckily it didn't cost the Ducks the game, but this idiotic showcase has happened multiple times a year now for over a decade. What in the world is going on, and how did this become a thing? I'd rather see the guy get a flag for spiking it than doing this nonsense. Coaches need to start stressing this, just hand the ball to the referee and do your celebration for goodness sake.

Can anybody think of a worse lapse of judgement in today's game?

Dropping a sure touchdown before goal line certainly makes the highlight reels for the wrong reasons. The beauty of it is that there will always be fans that love the mistake.

I mean this is from 10 years ago but it makes me smile every time.

Joe Walker is going to score.

It’s become so prevalent that they made a series on Hulu where it’s the basis of the whole show. Oregon has done it multiple times (Chad Powers not included).

Byron Marshall did it twice in the same season. Once in the national championship game against Ohio State and once against South Dakota. Both happened on long TD’s. Luckily, he barely got across the goal line in the Ohio State game. He was skilled but not very intelligent.

For a Gators fan: Be True to Your Shoe? And, Oh Spit!

Love ya, Man. Aim at and take out A&M on Saturday: do the Texas two-step!

We don't talk about the shoe thing Jon. The only shoes we bring up are Free Shoes University as described by one Steve Spurrier.

As for playing spoiler on Saturday and down the line. I'm for it as long as it doesn't keep Billy around another year. My hope is he has quietly been told this season is it and he gets to prove to maybe a program like Oklahoma State or even Arkansas that he deserves a second chance. Maybe he'll pull a Lane Kiffin and fail at his first big job only to succeed at a lower level one. No offense to Arkansas or Oklahoma State, but they aren't programs where National Titles are expected.

I didn't recall that happening in the title game. Wow!! I was taught to hand the ball to the official if I ever scored as a youth and in high school.
