Selfish. After the fact it didn't even seem to bother him. He was laughing on the side line having a good ole time. Glad they got beat. He showed he was a me player.

Pushed the xp back to make it a 48 yd attempt for the win.

I personally am more of a, celebrate after you win guy, but I can understand players wanting to celebrate an individual play. That said, how hard is it to keep your frickin helmet on? I mean, there are extra steps you have to do to unsnap it so it is literally easier to just keep it on, do whatever dance you've choreographed, and then let the kicker do his job.

Btw, I had no idea Eddie Pineiro was still in the league. Makes me appreciate Santos even more.

now I guess I'm glad the Bears didn't trade for Moore as many were suggesting they do ... any time being a dumbass overshadows actual ability is a warning sign to go elsewhere

I thought the penalty was like that incredibly stupid one called on the Bears player for celebrating in the Monday night game against the Steelers. Totally overblown by a ref. Happens often, rarely called.

I hated that play. My friend came back from over 20 points down against me in FF to win on that one play... a 62 yard reception, plus TD plus a 10 point bonus for a WR going over 100 yards. Mofo.

Besides hating DJ for that I double-hated him because I had just traded him to my friend for Monty.

The truth is DJ isn't a primadonna or showboat at all. He's actually a quiet & reserved guy and that was way out of character for him. Although it was an amazingly huge play & he thought he just won the game for them. It sucks that they penalized him for a game-winning play with the clock at zero. At that point the game was literally over except for the PAT. Shitty call.

I'd call it a Crime of Passion/Stupidity vs a Character Flaw.

And I actually won my Fantasy Matchup that week on that play!!
