No surprise there, but the "Way to go ref, bad call and injure our player" tweet was legit. The damn flag suck in CJs eye! I laughed at the shot of the flag stuck in his helmet, but it wasn't so funny when I saw he was actually having some pain. A Cleveland Browns player suffered permanent eye damage and sued the NFL for a similar injury. Are the refs too stupid not to aim at the player, or was it a Bammer ref who did it on purpose?**

The penalty was on Alabama for (gasp) holding. But I guess the ref could

have been ejected for targeting.

Why are you always on here sticking up for Ole Miss?

I wish CJ would've lost his eye on the play.

Referees throw the flag at the spot of the foul. It was an accident.

Couldn't have happened to a better person, though. Hope he can still see out the windshield of his Z71.

I believe officials are supposed to simply throw the flag straight up in the air. After the Browns incident they were pretty adamant about that, at least in the NFL.

On some fouls you can do that (false start, encroachment, any illegal formation/shift/motion) because those are enforced from the previous spot. Fouls like holding, illegal blocks, etc. are enforced from the spot of the foul and the flag marks that spot. That's why you see officials occasionally move a flag after it's been thrown to adjust for the spot.

apparently he has a low tolerance for pain ... how hard can that possibly hurt ?

Pretty bad. The flag has a weight in the end of it. Like the OP said, the NFL guy lost one eye (and his career) with the same injury.

I just about passed out when they got Bama for holding. That must be the first time in years, other than bowl games when they don't have SEC officials.
