I'm disgusted.

QBs whining to the refs for a flag? Punters 'sellling' contact?

I'm hoping a coach like Singletary or Rex Ryan sends a message about this crap.

If I were a coach, and a player on the opposition started whining for a penalty call like Tom Brady or some of the punters have been doing, I'd ask a player to take a REAL penalty on purpose. Put a hard-ass hit on a punter, take the 15 yard penalty, and in the post game press conference suck up the fine by saying 'the moment certain players start respecting the game, we'll start respecting them. I have no problem with my player who hit that player. If the opposing player wants to play a non-contact, acting-oriented sport, he should try out for major league soccer.'

Oh, I'd also tell my players in no uncertain terms that such acting on our side would be unforgivable. You play to win the game. The refs do what they do to keep it fair, if you are legitimately fouled, you can discuss it with the ref. There will be no acting, no pussification.
