Three Boneheaded Plays

I want to talk about three boneheaded things that happened last week in the NFL. One by a ref, one by a team, and one by a player.

Ref: We all know Ed Hochuli blew that call at the end of the San Diego-Denver game, including Hochuli himself. Everybody could tell Jay Cutler fumbled the ball but it was still ruled an incomplete pass. So now Denver is happy they are 2-0, San Diego is mad that they are 0-2, and Hochuli has been "demoted" and "given a bad grade" for the game. You never leave school do ya?

Team: I was watching in end of the first half of the Pittsburgh-Cleveland game and all I could think was What kind of clock management was that? For one thing I can't remember the Browns calling one play that went to the sidelines; you know, so you can stop the clock. But the real kicker came after they converted a 3rd and 1 and called time out with eight seconds left. I thought they when going for a field goal, so, I thought why would you leave eight seconds to kick a field goal? But they did one more shot to the end zone and it got intercepted. So they left the field with no points instead of three points.

Player: I'm sure we're all seen the video of DeSean Jackson early celebration. What were you thinking? Couldn't you have waited until you were deep in the end zone before you started to celebrate? And it's not like this was the first time he did something like this. He did in before, in high school. Luckily the only things keeping him from being run out of town are a) none of the Cowboys' players realized what happened until it has to late and b) Brian Westbrook score a touchdown on the very next play.
