| 24th December, 2007 - 8:18 am |  ESPN - Raiders' defensive tackle Warren Sapp was ejected from Sunday's game against the Jaguars after receiving three unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Sapp, who was not in the locker room after the 49-11 loss, received all three of the penalties in a strange series of events that started when Jacksonville right tackle Tony Pashos was flagged for illegal use of hands to the face.
Officials said the Raiders declined the penalty, and the Jaguars lined up for a 43-yard field goal attempt with 21 seconds to play in the first half. Officials then said Oakland would accept the penalty, making it third-and-20 from the Raiders' 35-yard line.
"Warren was upset because they tried to make the call before we made our decision," linebacker Thomas Howard said. "That's why Warren was upset. So then a flag was thrown, and then it was just wild commotion after that. They threw another flag and then another. Everybody's arguing and asking why these flags got thrown." [READ] |
