TheBrahmaBull,

That's the thing.

All we can do is assume.

But refs don't care. If you throat slash, diamond cutter, wave the no-no finger, shush em or yes - even point to the heavens because the almighty thought it was important you scored in a game in front of a bunch of paying folks - throw the flag.

When did giving the ball back to the ref, or taking it back to the sideline (the kicking ball is different from the passing one) and celebrating on the sideline become illegal.

Maybe I'm old school (I'm younger than 30), but the having to make some sort of gesture after touchdowns needs to stop. That's how this stuff has escalated in the first place.
