Just when you think that you have seen everything! I don't know why it is a penalty though.

If you look closely, he's lined up about midway between the 20 and 25 yard line, and then takes a step or two forward before beginning his tumbling act. Wouldn't that normally be a penalty?

The guard jumped before the snap but wasn't called. Also, the article said "excessive celebration", this is a stretch beyond my imagination.

I think the refs were just bumfuzzeled much like the players.
