You get cocky and taunt the defender, but then you find out you didn't actually score and your team doesn't get the ball at the 1 for a near certain TD because your clownish antics drew a 15 yard penalty putting the ball at the 16 and then they settle for a FG leaving 4 points on the field.
Honestly the fact that taunting is a penalty or a fine is ridiculous, especially considering Sanders just pointed at Hill and said "I got you!" with a smile on his face. Its competition. Let these guys play.
I understand and agree with a taunting penalty, because you would have these guys taunting every play, And you know it would piss ya off if players were taunting the Rams all the time if we were losing. They got to keep it professional. I do not agree with the fine though, That's just the NFL being greedy!!
Yeah, I assume this happens anyways. The only ones who get flagged or penalized are the ones caught.
As of recent, Steve Smith was notorious for this. What's the difference between trash talk before a big play and trash talk after? The latter might motivate players more.
