Did I see it correctly during overtime of the game on saturday? Did Todd Watkins get carried to the sidelines on the shoulders of his teamates after scoring the go-ahead touchdown in OT?

If so, does anyone else have a problem with this? I understand that many of them are 19-21 year old guys (if you ask Rick Reilly of SI they are all 37 years old with kids in high school and college). But the early celebration thing seldom, if ever, works out in your favor. It just makes you look that much more foolish on the highlight reel for the other team.

Ah yes, the Hasselback syndrome,

(Or whatever the name of the Seattle Seahawks QB is)

In overtime at Green Bay a couple of years back, his team won the coin toss and the official asked what his choice was; he leaned into the microphone and said "we want the ball, and we're going to win."

Green Bay won.
