After an interception challenge, Falcons coach Jim Mora took what looked like an open hand slap at a referee, but missed and was flagged for unsportsmanslike conduct! Wow......

No he didn't.

That was just a "get out of here" type arm movement. He wasn't within a foot of the refs face.

It was in between... it was a get of here motion.... but it was hard, like.... I wish I could smack the crap out of you!

At any rate he knew he wasn't going to hit him.

You don't make that motion with someone right in your face...If I was the ref, I could have taken it as a swing. I am sure it will be reviewed by the league and Mora should good a hefty fine for it.

This thread fits in perfect with all the other over reaction on the board today.

From 1 angle it looked bad.

From the other - he was backing away and the gesture was in no way a swing at a ref.

15 yard penalty = yes
Swing at ref = No

Come on dude! Are you serious? That wasn't a swing! He stepped back and threw his hand forward in disgust. :laugh2:

Maybe he should lay off the smelling salts.

Mora, another coach with loads of class.



Here's my Jim Mora impression...
"Oh Mike, yea he's amazing. Mike is awesome. Mike is the greatest player ever. Mike is my boyfriend..."
