Quotethey call it as happening after the ball changed possesion when you can clearly see players in the background still looking skyward
The ball changes possession once it leaves the punters foot IIRC...that's why the punting team can 'down' the punted ball, but not advance it.
I stand corrected.
The bugger still needed ejected, maybe even deserved a fine.
HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

There might still be a fine-maybe the other guy said something to deserve a good swat. I've seen it happen.

It's in there somewhere, but I can't find it. But yeah, that fucker should have been ejected from the game. That was just flagrant.
