I finally saw it!

[jackrussell]

Troy Palamallalalou pulled down by his hair.

I've always wondered what would happen.

Larry Johnson gets an unsportsmanlike conduct for doing it.

Unbelievable.

 

[aznhalf]

That penalty was such BS! How are you supposed to bring a guy down then? I guess everyone should just go out and get hair extensions to cover their entire backsides with hair. No tackling from behind!

 

[Da Hammer]

just saw the replay and i gotta admit that was hilarious!!!!!!!!! BS though that they called a flag

 

[Crown Royal]

Are you serious that he got a penalty?

I'm pretty sure that they told Ricky Williams a few years ago that dreds are fair game. If they threw a penalty, they totally botched the call. The leagues' position is that if you have long hair, it is part of your body/uniform and fair game for tackling.

The refs have been kissing Pittsburg's *** since '75. I'm surprised Johnson wasn't thrown out of the game.

I seem to recall the same thing. Bad call.

EDIT: turns out he was penalized for taunting...

 

[juck]

he got it for holding onto hair after he was down.

Ah. I see - then that makes sense.

Exacly.

 

[Da Hammer]

the ref didnt actually say it was taunting though so its not for sure why the penalty was called

 

[jackrussell]

Well you could sort of get entangled in that bird's nest.:

 

[joseephuss]

Maybe his hands got stuck to the hair.

Look at that nasty rat's nest hair. How the hell was he supposed to let go? His hand was caught up in that crap.

The commentators said that the refs had explained the call to the cheifs as such...

 

[jackrussell]

Ah. I see - then that makes sense.

I believe 2 penalties were called on the defense on that play, along with an illegal touching by the offense.

Still not clear on it.

oh ok then nevermind, it would have been one of the biggest BS calls ever if it would have been because of him pulling him down by the hair

 

[Draegerman]

I just heard the announcer mention that it wasn't for tackling him by his hair but for the fact that Johnson continued holding on to it after he was already down.

The other penality was for illegal touching. The pass doinked off a Chief O-lineman's head. Replay showed it.

I guess that's the refs idea of "taunting." Weak.
