For those doubting the flag on Rice:

Here's the rule:

Rule 12, section three, article two calls for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on a player "clearly running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or try-kick after touchdown and landing on players unless the leaping player was originally lined up within one yard of the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped."

Yeah by the rules it is definetly an infraction. That rule will also definetly be changed.

On jim rome today he spoke of it. we all know the illeagality of using someone (d-lineman) to propell yourself upward on a block attempt but the creators of this rule also deemed the possibility of someone leaping up and landing on one of the linemans back or shoulders in attempt to block the kick. (in theory could be standing over 12 feet high)

makes little sense that that is efficient, but i guess possible

Never said he did Gongshow. But you still can't land on another player.
