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.

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,
