In a video sent to teams this week, NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said the uptick in taunting and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties this season was meant to strengthen the example that the league sets for lower levels of football.The bottom line is that theres many, many kids out there that are NFL fans that are playing football, Blandino said in the video, and they see our athletes and they mimic what they do. We wouldnt want some of these things out on the youth football field. We have a high standard in the NFL, and were going to maintain that standard.Through the first four weeks of the season, taunting penalties increased by 220 percent compared to the same period in 2015. All unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are up 55.6 percent, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said this week that he hoped to gain clarity from the league so that star receiver Antonio Brown could avoid penalties after being flagged (and fined) twice this season for sexually suggestive touchdown celebrations.The video was part of a weekly video series the league produces for teams. The taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct content was identical to the video the league distributes to the public on Friday afternoons, a league spokesman confirmed.Blandino, who says in the video that sportsmanship and player safety are really the two top priorities in the game today, ran through a series of examples to explain what would and will would be penalized. He says the league is not trying to legislate emotion out of the game but wants to eliminate:Anything directed at an opponentAnything that mimics a violent act ... or weaponryCelebrations that are sexually suggestiveChoreographed celebrations that include more than one teammate, use the ball as a prop or include the player going to the ground.If we let this go, Blandino says in the video, it will continue to build and certain players will continue to try to outdo each other. Then it leads to other things. Then it leads to confrontations. It leads to stomping on logos; it leads to players hitting players for stomping on logos. So weve just got to continue to maintain the standard of sportsmanship and the professionalism that the NFL stands for.Legal celebrations, Blandino says, include:Spiking (as long as it is not directed at an opponent)Bowing to the crowdSaluting to the groundHugsFinally, Blandino says: This may seem crazy, but you can just hand the ball to the official. Thats fine, too.Lamont Gaillard Jersey . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Cheap Cardinals Jerseys .

Maxx Williams Jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. Haason Reddick Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week.CALGARY -- The Calgary Stampeder offence will have an unfamiliar look Friday in Toronto, particularly if running back Jon Cornish cant play. Cornish is questionable for the game against the Argonauts -- a rematch of the 2012 Grey Cup -- with what head coach John Hufnagel called a thigh contusion. The CFLs leading rusher last season and the No. 2 runner behind Saskatchewans Kory Sheets this year didnt practise for a second straight day Wednesday. "It I cant go, then Ill try and get straight. If I can go, Ill try and dominate," Cornish said. But Cornish described the injury as one of "overuse" and not bruising. He ran for 175 yards and four touchdowns Aug. 9 in a 42-27 win over Saskatchewan, but was limited to 73 yards and one major in a 26-22 loss to the B.C. Lions last Saturday. "Ive recently restored a lot of range of motion to my leg that I havent had for four years," Cornish explained. "My leg did more work than probably its done with that range of motion in the (Saskatchewan) game and then (I) played in the B.C. game. It didnt feel good in that game." Calgary native Matt Walter will get the nod at halfback if Cornish cant play, Hufnagel said. Calgarys depth at receiver is getting tested. Veteran slotback Nik Lewis is out for at least six games with a broken fibula he suffered in Vancouver. Maurice Price also wont play Friday because of an ankle injury. Calgary (5-2) was already without receivers Joe West (shoulder), Johnny Forzani (ankle) and Chris Bauman (wrist) on the nine-game injured list. So Montreal native Jabari Arthur will get a lot of work for the next month and a half during Lewiss absence. Former quarterback Brad Sinopoli of Peterborough, Ont., had five catches for 81 yards his first CFL game as a receiver July 12 and will fill in for Price. It did not go well for Calgarys offence last week after Lewis went out in the second quarter following a tackle by B.C.s Solomon Elimimian. The Stampeders managed just ttwo field goals in the second half as receivers dropped the ball seven times.dddddddddddd Stampeder quarterback Kevin Glenn went 22 for 38 for 199 yards in passing. Hufnagel blamed his teams inability to move the ball on his receivers. "Probably one of the most disappointing games from our receivers that Ive been associated with as a group," Hufnagel told the Calgary Herald earlier this week. The coach and general manager was more moderate in his assessment Wednesday. "I didnt call them out. I just explained what happened in the game," the head coach said. "Id never seen a game with seven dropped passes before. Obviously our receivers have to do a better job of catching the football." Toronto (5-2) would probably key on Cornish if he plays given Calgarys unsettled passing game. Cornishs absence would be all the better for the Argonaut defence, ranked No. 2 in the league. "Were going to attack them as best as we can," Arthur said. Marquay McDaniel led Calgary in receptions with seven for 75 yards in Vancouver. The slotback will probably again be a recurring target for Glenn with Lewis out. "Weve just got to go out there and know what were doing each play, knowing your assignment and execute and just got to make the play when the ball comes your way," McDaniel said. "All year one guys gone down and somebodys got to step up and fill that spot." Arthur has dressed for every game and compiled 168 yards on 14 catches. He may not have the stocky Lewiss blocking talent, but at six foot four Arthur is half a foot taller than Lewis and thus offers more vertical. "Nik has a very great skill set and were probably going to miss it a little bit, but I think I also bring a different skill set to the table," Arthur said. "I think Ill still be able to make a few plays like Nik does for that position. "Im going to catch the ball if they throw it to me. Thats what Im going to do."Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys [url=different skill set to the table," ball Jerseys[/url] ' ' '
