You're completely missing the point. Why even chance it with that sort of behavior? I'm surprised Wadley's never been called before. It's a selfish move that only has a downside--hurting the team with a penalty.

Because its nothing.. it doesn't even constitute any "Type of behavior"
Holding the ball out in some ones face.. throwing it at them.. making throating cutting gestures...
Yeah some things are taunting..
But high stepping? Totally meaningless and I can't even remember a time I've seen it called a penalty before on any level.
Some if someone pump fists? or jumps into the endzone is that a penalty also?
Just complete silliness.

It absolutely represents a "type of behavior." High stepping was noted as a type of banned over-celebration when they made the ban 20 some years ago. Regardless, it's a subjective call by the refs--why give them any reason. Every time Wadley does that crap I cringe because I know this can happen. Just act like you've been there before, go back to the sidelines and celebrate with your teammates. It's real easy. Our "look at me" culture that you seem to agree with is the reason for this stupid crap...Wadley also needs to cut out the stupid slapping money thing after touchdowns--selfish and stupid.

It's silly to be offended by those things... really it is... Ive seen football players high stepping since the 80's...
Never has it offended me nor have i seen a flag thrown on it.

Nobody is "offended". They're saying why do stupid me-first stuff when you don't have to?

way too culturally sensitive... lets just all act like what the old white men say we should.

You're dense and you keep missing the point. Whether or not you think it's showboating, it can be construed as that--and may hurt the team--you don't seem to care about this. Btw, you could high step in the 80's because celebrations hadn't been banned yet.

If Wadley thought he could get penalized for that he wouldn't have done it.
Like myself he has watched football for many years and never seen that called a penatly...

Anyone with any sense knows he doesn't exhibit that behavior "just because." He does it to showboat--if you and Wadley can't figure that out, you're dumber than you already seem.

I'm dumb.. you are old and white we can just agree to that any move on.
I'm fine with that.
I'm fine with that.
It's like penalizing Tiger Woods for a fist pump. Really stupid rule, if it is a rule.

Way to completely disregard my argument. This is what people do in a debate when they don't have an intelligent rebuttal. Go home boy.

I dunno, man. Reading your posts, it doesn't seem you're fine with anything. Plenty of pent up anger and a burning desire to point it at someone...usually leveraging the shallowest of cliches with an aversion to any kind of reasoned discussion or argument.
RB21 looks pretty good to.

He looks, in my opinion, to be the the 2nd best outside Wadley.
But this opponent isn't the best measuring stick.
The way he hits the hole hard (lol) is a good measuring stick.
Calling him a homeboy isn't going to help your cause to defend being old and white.
