Video: Colts called for strangest penalty of the year

In the past two weeks, the Indianapolis Colts have been called for penalties for leverage and illegal batting. On Thursday night, the Colts drew their strangest penalty yet:
Disconcerting signals? What was Antonio Johnson(notes) doing on the line of scrimmage; dating someone for six years and then not proposing? Making loud noises with a shovel at night? I can see how barking out signals while on the defensive line would be a penalty, but what exactly makes said signals disconcerting? Instead of yelling snap counts to confuse the Titans offensive line, was Johnson yelling things like "by the time we're 60, there won't be any social security!"

Between leverage, illegal batting and disconcerting signals, it sounds like the Colts are being charged with the same RICO statutes as John Gotti.

Washing Machine Accident

An Oregon family is devastated after a tragic accident took the life of their toddler. Tiffany Hebb was doing laundry, while her 21-month-old Ollie kept her company. When she left the room briefly, he crawled into the washing machine and drowned. A frantic Hebb found her son minutes later trapped in the water-filled basin and tried desperately to resuscitate him. After suffering severe brain damage, he died the following day in the hospital. "It was the worst day of my life," the grieving mother told a local Fox affiliate through tears. Now Tiffany and her husband Chris are on a mission to educate parents about the dangers of the seemingly innocuous household appliance. "I want to make mothers and fathers aware that it's a possibility," she said.
