Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!

2 things on that video:

1. i am not a fan of misleading titles. the fan didnt swing a helmet at webb and webb gave two benign arm pushes.

2. not a fan of when players do the "walk" over a player laying on the ground when it was a routine tackle. if you absolutely truck a guy and he saw it coming and had time to brace but you still trucked him .. then yeah i can see the macho excitement taking over and understand a player doing a "walk" over an opposing player. i did that a few times in college lax and i was generally a punk on the field. i did it once with a lil jig dance over the guy and people were pissed. you do it basically to taunt the guy saying my nut sack is swinging over your body after i just leveled you. its a sign of dominance and superiority.

hope the nfl makes it a point of emphasis for taunting in the future. may be hard to discern and up to each ref's subjective interpretation of a players body language but you know it when you see it. the players know it when they see it i.e. the raiders players unhappy reaction.
