Does anyone have video of DA tripping the ref?

Riffer X

The part that gets me is he could have been hurt. What if those guys would have rolled into his knees?

I don't get how he was watching on the Jumbotron and couldn't see any of them coming right at him. Something tells me he wasn't really looking at the scoreboard but some chicks hooters in the Dawg Pound.

It was hysterical how he acted like nothing happened, I like that dude. The ref was funny as shit too throwing the flag off his back LMAO. Then Mangie shows as much emotion as we've seen all camp bitching about it. Funny, funny shit. Even funnier is Jimbob Donovan calling the penalty on Wright and not figuring it out forever. Man, I can't stop giggling, just watched it again.

Sorry I don't have a link, watching the DVR.

I just watched this. DA is standing there with his thumb up his butt..not even paying attention to the game and the ref ran into him. Pay attention dumbarse.

I agree...the ref needed to pay more attention.

Link anyone?

The YouTube does not produce the desired bounty. I'm pretty sure it's not up there.

As I have said, however, this could be good. LeBron got knocked flat to the ground by a Ref. Derek is unfazed by a ref.

Derek/Shaq/LBJ for NBA Champions 2010!

Agreed. I'd pull the post, Russ.

Had it been anyone else on the sideline the ref never would of tripped, no one else wears size 16 shoes on this team! Its like the guys got skies on his feet. How could you not trip over those bunyons!

A minor point. I know. However the problem is even bigger than that. Found here:http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_483208.html

But Anderson, whose shoe size (17) almost equaled the number of NFL passes (21) he had thrown coming into the game, only moved the Browns into scoring position one time in the first half.

What did I do, now?

Here's one of my typical low budget vids, grainy as usual, but at least you can get the idea. My brother heard he was watching the play on the jumbotron and saw himself get hit.

Yesterday, I tried making that same DA video but ADDING the following SOUND EFFECT in the video BUT I don't know how (it would be AWESOME).

Try the attached SOUND EFFECT.

If somebody knows how to do that, I would appreciate it!!!

How do you figure? Its called EVERY time a player or coach is in the white and it prevents a ref from running with the play. What's bullshit is why DA was even away from the player's area and standing where he didn't belong.

Yeah, it's a fair call IF you are being a nit-picky little prick who just wanted to wave a yellow flag 'cause you can.
Kinda like the cop that stopped me this morning because one brake light is out.

The problem I had with the call was even if DA HAD been in the little box, the guy STILL would have hit him and most likely STILL have fallen on his ass.

What was funny was a few plays later the action was coming over towards the sideline again and you could see everyones feet moving back fast!!!

I don't see how you get that. That large white stripe is for the officials to run and follow a play, unimpeded. I've seen it called a number of times when a coach or player is standing in that stripe and it interferes with a ref being able to go with the play. There was nothing nit-picky about it. And yes, coaches and players stand on that stripe all the time, but its a chance that's taken if a ref runs into them there will be a penalty.

Stevie Wonder could have saw Anderson, He fell felt like a complete ass and wanted to put the blame on somebody else.

We can agree to disagree about whether or not it was a nit-picky call.
As you noted coaches and players stand on that stripe all the time, and sometimes the play action takes a few people out (refs, photogs, whoever else stands over there)...why aren't more penalties called for people standing too close?

I just think this is an obscure penalty that the guy called just to make himself look better. ACCIDENTS happen. He was just as 'unsportsmanlike' in his conduct as he penalized the Browns for.

I'll give you that Anderson should have been paying attention to the field and had he been doing so, he probably would have moved...but the ref still would have hit him.

The penalties are only called if a ref is impeded....and it is called every time.
