T.O.'s Middle Finger

[Carl23]

Was it me, or did I see TO run the last 15 yards to the endzone while giving the Giants DB the bird?

I'm guessing it's why the DB hit TO and got called for a 15 yarder...

I just watched that play again on dargon's website. It looks like "a" finger is up right before he crosses the goalline. You may be right.

The Zapruder film reveals he may have been on the grassy knoll.

Was that before the shot was fired?

Was that before the shot was fired?

Yes.... and it was a blunt.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Maybe that's why Wilson pushed TO

 

[CrazyCowboy]

That one handed grab was awesome!

maybe it's a new way of saying, "We're number ONE!"

Even when he is innocent and hit people want to make him guilty. OH he deserved it. Oh he did something first. I'm sure he talks alot of trash.

The picture looks like he was pointing into the endzone, where he was headed.

You're right.

Ah well, it was a fun theory.

BTW...did they access the 15 yard personal foul penalty on the kickoff or after the return, because Folk kicked it to the back of the endzone for a touchback and the Giants started off at the 20 so I was wondering when did they actually put the penalty yardage in? I was mad because I thought the refs forgot about the penalty.

I have the game on DVR so I need to go back and check.

OWENS GAVE THE FINGER TO WILSON

It seemed odd to us that Giants safety Gibril Wilson took such a late shot at Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens after T.O. scored a fourth-quarter touchdown in Sunday night's 45-35 Dallas victory.

Video of the play in question appears at 3:25 of the highlight package on NFL.com.

We assumed that Wilson was merely acting out his frustration regarding the inability of the Giants defense to stop the Dallas passing game (or because his first name is so similar to the word "gerbil").

However, the replay shown on NBC last night from an end-zone camera shows that Owens subtly dropped his right hand and showed his middle finger to Wilson as Owens was moving toward the end zone.

A reader pointed it out to us this morning, and we confirmed it on the TiVo.

It doesn't excuse Wilson for hitting Owens so far out of bounds, but the league office could take a look at the tape and impose a fine on T.O., regardless of the fact that none of the officials saw him make the gesture to Gerbil. (I mean, Gibril.)

Under the 2007 fine schedule, the specific price tag likely will be $7,500.

It was the middle finger.
I saw it last night and thought it was odd.

OWENS GAVE THE FINGER TO WILSON

Good thing for Owens that the picture in the link above proves otherwise for him.

I really think he has been trying to avoid controversy, and to give someone the middle finger while scoring a TD, on national TV with every camera and eye on you would have been inviting trouble.

I e-mailed PFT the pic and they're denying it. Saying it's a different shot.

I don't know what angle they're seeing it from. Even on HD, I can't see it.

If they're so confident, they've got to have some video capture software out there. I'd suggest the VLC player, you can take quick screen shots of anything and it saves it to the HD.

Index finger

This was the link that provided the angle in the story that I forgot to add after I posted the blurb.

You guys are blind, it was clearly the index (pointer) finger...
