I have to say, I’m not a fan of this suggestion from [Kirk Goldsberry](http://grantland.com/the-triangle/how-wed-fix-it-the-nfls-penalty-flag-problem/), to make the refs throw different colored flags depending on if the penalty is on the offense or the defense. Because you know what really gives me goosebumps during a game? When Jeff Tripplette throws a ticky-tack flag on the defense during a stellar touchdown play, so that the crowd is nice and subdued while we wait for the refs to confer and Tripplette to finally announce the penalty that will be declined. I just love watching referees work! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-playoffs-division-weekend/709426)._
