Unsportsmanlike calls are biased!

I was watching a little of the GA-Vandy game today, and saw the Dawgs get teed up again for another unsportsmanlike penalty. A WR caught a pass, and did a little flip of the ball after he was downed. Everyone does this, and it shouldn't be a penalty.
Now I'm watching ARK-FL, and Tebow just converted a 4th and 2 play. He went NUTS--pumping his arms, smacking his helmet, gesturing at the defense, and so on.
WTF? Is he immune to the same penalties UGA is getting?
They need to fix this new rule before it bites UT the way it bit UGA against LSU.

I agree completely. That new rule is awful. So is the clock not stopping when they run out of bounds above 2 mins.

It's total BS that Tebow gets away with his celebrating game after game. He was even taunting the Arkansas sideline earlier in the game, no call of course.

Can't wait till Tebow gets caught driving a white van and wearing a clown suit. Headed to the airport to catch a plane to the Phillippenes.

It made Tebow look even more foolish when they fumbled the ball away on the very next play. That was comedy gold.

If a flip is tossing the ball 20+ yards as the UGA reciever did...

Anybody throws it 20 yards you are going to get the flag...no bias.

Tebow gets away with everything and is an exception, lol.

I'm not hating on him I just want everyone to be judged the same. When Tebow jumps up and down and acts like a child, its called leadership and when anyone else does it its called unsportsmanlike.

Saw the play, and that spike of the ball is unsportsmanlike conduct every day of the week, regardless of the perpetrator.

Fail.

The one I saw today wasn't, IMHO.

The one against LSU was terrible. But in arguing bias, they threw an equally bad one against LSU right after it.

I agree completly re: Tebow. Should have been a flag and it's got nothing to do with "hating" Tebow. That rule needs to be changed.

I agree about Tebow -- he gets away with 10x what other players have this year who have gotten flags.
