ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark and former LSU defender was not happy with the NFL Tuesday. Clark went off on the league about its new taunting policy on NFL Live on Tuesday afternoon.
Clark and Marcus Spears both are not pleased with the new rule, saying that there needs to be some kind of clarification from the NFL as to what exactly the rule is and what players can or cannot do that might get them penalized.

Clark went even further saying: “You mean to tell me on that one play I gotta calm all that down that went into this because somebody who can’t do what I do, who ain’t never done what I’ve done … gets offended by it? Man, I wish I frickin’ would.”
What seems to have everyone in a tizzy is when referee Tony Corrente called taunting on the Chicago Bears Cassius Marsh after he made a key sack that looked like it stopped a drive by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Marsh made a gesture towards the Steelers and as he was going back to the bench, bumped into an official and was penalized.
But on replay, it looks as if Corrente bumped into Marsh on purpose. The Steelers ended up beating the Bears, 29-27.
