For god's sake, are you that full of yourself after getting your hands slapped with a yard stick that you have to bring attention to yourself after a great play?

Make the play, put your head down and sprint back to play defense!

I had the same reaction when he made the dunk.

Every time Barry Sanders scored a touchdown, he handed the ball to the ref and went back to the sideline. Wish some of that mentality would creep back into the culture.
