Officials warn players: Spinning the ball can result in a penalty

Yeah it wasn't on purpose, but one time Jimmy Graham took a hit, jumped up and stood over the guy who tackled him, he did a Popeye muscle flex or was jawing down at him or something...then he realized the guy was down, he was hurt, rolling around in pain, and he couldn't get up. I forget when exactly it was, which game.....it was not anything intentional, but it looked REEEEEEALLY bad on Graham. THAT'S not something you want to see guys do. I love Jimmy but I do wish he would learn to cool it a little. We all know it, he has dropped sure TD passes in the end zone, that hit him right on the hands, because he was already THINKING TOO SOON ABOUT THE DUNK.

That drop issue goes back to Miami. I was mad when we drafted him. I'm not mad anymore of course, but he definitely will drop one on occasion.

I'll cut a player a break on something like that because it's "the heat of battle" where they've usually done something unexpected, extraordinary or devastating to an opponent ... it just comes out ... and I think it reflects favorably on JG or any player that appropriately stops celebrating once they realize someone's injured ... but yeah, if thinking about the 'celebration' is gonna' interfere with scoring, you gotta' draw-the-line somewhere,
