Yes, that's the way a "Professional Athlete" should be. I think its very classless and unsportsmanlike to show up the opposing team after you score. Now I don't mind the spur of the momment spiking of the ball out of excitement, but these contrived and premeditated acts after a touchdown are ridiculous. The best thing I ever saw was when Terrel Owens was a 49er and he ran out to the star in Dallas Stadium, and a Cowboy ran up and clocked him. And I am a 49er fan. I thought Terrible Owens should have gotten his block knocked off for that. But then again, the retaliation was unsportsmanlike as well.
Just be a professional, hand the ball off, and go get ready to do it again. We all saw you do it the first time, you don't need to rub it in!
