Jen: According to the NFL Digest of Rules (aka the Obnoxiously long 36-page digest of crap) it is “Any act contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship” Duh. How long do you think it took them to define that one? Makes me think they don’t even really know what their own rule mean. But I do know that making snow angels and personal phone calls during a game is unsportsmanlike. See Angels in in End Zone and Donovan McNabb in Wordless Wednesday. Usually involves taunting the other team.
