I wouldn't have been shocked if they bumped it up into a personal foul. You could call it unsportsmanlike conduct or whatever. Those NFL refs have been known to take some leeway with that in the past after all...

except, he did not throw it in the field of play ..  he threw it OUT of the field of play and it was a change of possesion. point e has to do with a player intentionally throwing the ball 5 or 10 yards down the field causing extra time being required to spot the ball for the next play. hence the delay of game.

I am pretty sure that throwing the ball into the stands is not a delay of game penalty, but he will probably be fined.

You (and several others) are a gift!



Never stop doing what  you do.



Just how pissed off are you that the Packers came back?

Not pissed off at all, Blair.  Had to help ice cookies. Couldn't keep posting. Glad we won, but we still need major firings and a more demanding demeanor from McCarthy. The first half is something that NEVER should happen.

Bumping this all time X4 classic!
