The NFL banned dunking over the goal posts, and now they’re banning “in-your-face taunting.” If you don’t know what that means, look at a highlight reel of Richard Sherman and his confrontation of opponents. More interesting than that is the request coming from the NCAA.
Jeff Fisher said there were 34 taunting penalties last year, compared to 9 in 2012. Crackdown is coming.

Jeff Fisher said the NCAA asked the NFL to crack down on taunting because college players see it by pros and want to mimic it.
