Sports Illustrated in Name Only... god, that used to be such a great magazine... too bad... now its just a hollowed out shell of its former self...
but anyways, No effing wonder why people complain about the refs... they dont know the rules... well you can tell Terry that Rule 12, Article 1(h) reads:
"Removal of his helmet by a player in the field of play or the end zone during a celebration or demonstration, or during a confrontation with a game official or any other player."
He was celebrating a TD...there really is no gray area here... It is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and will be called every time a ref sees it happen.
