Totally bad sportsmanship. His team was blown out, but all he cared about was getting attention for himself. Maybe he should have just felt bad about his team getting its but kicked.

Total garbage, but it also made me laugh. Sports Center talked about it a bit last night

What happened?
Greg Sciano had his D-line bull rush the Giants when Eli had them in the relaxed victory formation for the last snap. Created quite a stir in the league.

Thanks for posting the video. That was just wrong of Schiano if he told them to do that.

I disagree...the ball is on the bucs 30, down by 7. if they get a fumble they may get a hail mary to tie the game..

now other end of the field or down by 9...then bad sportsmanship

Totally different situations. Clippers had no chance to win.

It might be considered bush-league (perhaps epitomizing), but in the grand scheme, who cares? No harm no foul. When you're blown out, you can't look much worse. He was just going for that "little bit worse."

I bet whoever had him in a Fantasy League was ecstatic.

It really isn't that big of deal but butler has never struck me as a good guy (and I'm trying to be polite in that description) and this certainly doesn't help. It doesn't bring any good attention to him so it just doesn't seem worth it

I actually thought it was pretty funny. Sophomoric, but funny.

It was reminiscent, not exactly the same. There was a certain similarity you must admit. Maybe you don't see it. Who knows? Pick my statement apart. Have fun.

Wrong, you don't risk injuries on a 1 in a million chance. The only time in NFL history a team has blown it when needing to take knees in victory formation was 1970's era NY Giants against Philly. The QB (Joe Pisarcic) called a handoff which was fumbled and returned for a TD. NY lost the game and promptly cut him immediately after the game leaving him to find another way home. Philly in turn picked him up for the remainder of the year.

So what? It's showbiz. Now the players and fans all have something to laugh about from an otherwise unremarkable game.

then why risk injuuries on 3 and 25 with 1:30 to go in the game? Injuries are part of the game. Play until the echo of the whistle or dont play at all !!!

The game does not end with :01 on the clock...its over when the clock reads :00
