Um, OK. The NHL is so refreshing to watch when guys like Ovechkin can celebrate great goals (while gesturing with their sticks and everything else) and then have a group celebration immediately right after and not only does everyone not care, they expect it and enjoy it. The NFL though throws out penalties and fines. Um, er, duh. Just imagine if the NHL handed out power plays to the other team because of excessive celebration....pathetic.

I'll assume for a second that you are a Steelers fan based on your screen name and the content of your post. If not, let me know and I will gladly apologize for heaping such a terrible insult upon your good name
There is nothing worse than a fan whose team won at least in part because of calls made by an official declaring that the rules should not have been followed.
If you don't like the rules, than do what you can to get them changed. But don't act like because you think they are bad they shouldn't be followed.
If in that final drive the Cardinals had scored quickly and the refs ignored a celebration penalty on the Cardinals that could have placed the Steelers in position for a last-second tying field goal, the city of Pittsburgh would have had an armed insurrection attacking NFL headquarters the next day. Don't even try to deny it.
As for Harrison, look at the .gif file I had found and posted. The very first thing you see is a straight downward punch onto the Cardinal player's shoulder. I really have to question if you actually bothered to watch it.
