NFL Referee Caught High Fiving Vince Young - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sure looks like NFL ref Jerome Boger ditched his impartial role and shared a high-five with Vince Young on Monday night, doesn’t it?

The NFL says it was nothing of the kind.

This disturbing image — captured from the Web site Deadspin.com — happened moments after Young’s Titans upset the Texans, 20-17.

After the Texans had missed a potential game-tying field goal with one second left, Young brought the Titans offense onto the field for one final snap. He took a knee.

End of game.

But not end of story.

While it appears Boger, an NFL ref since 2006, joined in Tennessee’s celebration, the league last night gave another explanation, defending the zebra.

According to a league statement: “It was not Jerome Boger’s intent to exchange a high-five with the player. It began with the referee making the proper administrative signal and resulted in the appearance of an inappropriate action.

“As Vince Young took a knee on the game’s final play, Jerome Boger jogged in with his right arm in the air to signify the play was over. That is the proper administrative signal for the referee.

“As Young turned around, he saw Boger approaching the line of scrimmage with his arm raised. As Boger moved toward the line of scrimmage, he started to bring his arm down.

“However, before he lowered his arm, Young, moving towards the referee, raised his own arm and the two exchanged what appeared to be a quick high-five.”

Got all that?

Sometimes it is hard to believe it isn't, but who knows.
