Sometimes I try to get the WTF column in the books by the end of Sunday Night Football.

There’s only one more game left on Monday… but then I think, let’s just wait and see what happens on Monday Night Football.

Well, MNF did not disappoint!

Sting like a bee

At a time of the year when teams are fighting, clawing and pushing to get to the postseason, tempers tend to flare.

That’s what happened when TE Jordan Reed threw a punch, and was subsequently ejected from Monday night’s game!

WTF Jordan?

You do know your team is vying for a playoff spot right?

Whatever.

Not fine with fines

Next, this is me being confused, petty, and yes, a bit ticked off at the NFL… and actually the NFLPA too, for not having their players; backs.

Or I should say wallets?

The NFL flexed the Steelers/Bengals game from Sunday Night Football, in favor of a hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad facing the best team in football, the Dallas Cowboys. With the Bucs and ‘Boys in primetime, clearly, if someone did something wrong, it would merit flags and fines, right?

Well that was the explanation for Antonio Brown getting flagged for dancing on Monday Night Football, and later flagged again on Thanskgiving Night for having Le’Veon Bell join in on the fun.

But it’s apparently okay when someone not named Antonio Brown goes overboard, as was the case when Ezekiel Elliott celebrated a TD by jumping into a Big Red Salvation Army Calderon outside the end zone.

There was no flag for using a “prop” to celebrate, and the league announces they are not going to fine him either.

WTF?

They thought it was “cute” since Elliott donated $21,000 to the Salvation Army, and the national TV attention saw a spike in their donations the following day.

Okay, I think that’s all well and good, but whatever happened to rules are rules?

Remember the Antonio Brown TD to jump on the upright pole in the end zone?

Yeah, flag and fined!

Biased much NFL?!

Even Le’Veon Bell tweeted out “and AB and I got fined for a handshake!

A handshake!

WTF NFL?

Celebrations gone wrong

Let’s keep this theme going with the celebration props.

The game that was moved for Dallas and Tampa, between the Steelers and Bengals, saw another celebration that was ill-advised.

Cincinnati RB Jeremy Hill scored a touchdown, ran to the back of the endzone, picked up a Terrible Towel, and tries to tear it.

It didn’t work.

He then sneezes or spits on it, and spikes it to the ground, in what looked like a three-year-old temper tantrum.

Again, no flag for using a prop…

WTF?

And it’s debatable how the towel even ended up where it was.

Did someone accidentally drop it at that opportune moment? Was it snatched from a fan? Did Hill have it hidden?

Regardless of how it got there, apparently teams and players just never learn that you don’t disrespect the Terrible Towel.

The “Myron Cope Curse” will forever be alive and well. It cursed the Titans in ’08, and got the Bengals once before in ’05.

So Hill gets away with one from the refs, but he doesn’t win the war: after his touchdown “celebration,” Hill was pummeled in the second half by Bud Dupree and Sean Davis on a combined tackle, and would only rush 6 times in the 2nd half for -1 yard.

Told ya the “Curse” is real!

More (or less) flags

Penalties killed the Steelers in the first half, but so did the penalties that were not called throughout the game.

• Sammie Coates seemingly got mugged near the end of the first half with no flag.
• Antonio Brown had his head yanked off via facemask in the endzone.
• Coates had the same, in the endzone, a short bit later.

While all of those fouls would’ve helped the Steelers, it was once again a second half implosion by the Bengals that allowed the Steelers to come back and win 24-20.

My WTF here is not the expected implosion of Cincinnati but the “Why does Marvin Lewis still have a coaching job?”

Can he control his team or not?

Another Field Goal?

Let’s take a minute to talk about kickers. Chris Boswell was 6-for-6 on long field goals, tying a team record for attempts made in a game… and made a touchdown-saving tackle on a kickoff return.

On the other side, former unemployed kicker, to Steelers temp kicker, and now Cincy traitor, Randy Bullock, was also 2/2 on the day… making a TD-saving tackle on Sammie Coates no less!

Okay Sammie, I hope the guys are giving you some ribbing love that you got ran out of bounds by a kicker!

LOL just sayin’ WTF?!

Cheerleaders get some attention too

I forgot to mention the cheerleader that got taken out by Kirk Cousins when he was pushed out of bounds. (Ouch WTF?)

She face-planted, but then got back up and finished her uh..”job”?

Sorry, the Steelers don’t have cheerleaders so I am not sure what they do out there.

Well I am, but do I care? Not so much!

But that’s not the craziest cheerleader story coming out of this week’s games.

Apparently, a security person was caught pleasuring himself while staring at the Chargers cheerleaders… in broad daylight… during the game!

WTF????!!!!!

What else needs said?!

In this day and age of smartphone technology, you don’t think someone would’ve noticed? The paid attendance for this game was 68,352, which doesn’t include players, staff, and of course, those cheerleaders Mr. Happy is ogling over!

Maybe he’s lucky that we live in a camera phone era, because I’d hate to see what may have happened if he were caught by a player before the NFL became the “No Fun League!”

This could be the WTF of the year!
