Carrying the Ball ACROSS the Goal Line

[Bowfin]

Another week of a "too cool" college player dropping the ball before he actually crosses the goal line. It was Oklahoma's Mixon, now it is Cal's running back. Seminole Dalvin Cook dropped the ball while getting ready for an end zone celebration, trading a TD for a FG. This week, Cal's Enwere almost gave Texas a chance to tie the game with similar jackassery.

 

I swear, how hard is it to hand the ball to the ref when you see a touchdown signal or hold on to the frickin' ball for an extra half second? Have cell phones caused generational ADD disorder that causes this? (at the 2:00 mark)

 

 

Then we have @sshats like Desmond Howard criticizing Andy Janovich for wrapping the ball up when he saw he was going to cross the end zone. I guess Desmond is from the DeSean Jackson school of end zone theatrics sans the touchdown.

It seems so easy to do yet easy to see how a kid could picture himself on the front page of Sundays sports or an ESPN highlight. I'm betting he learns the lesson well.
