The only explanation I can come up with is that Williams was not in direct confrontation with the official. Come up with an example where a guy bumps or shoves a ref inadvertently while in a confrontation with another player, and you have a good comparison. I actually just watched a video of a scuffle between two linemen where the ref got knocked to ground pretty violently and neither of the two men were ejected (though they were both given 15 yd unsportsmanlike pentalties). It was a game between the Bengals and Browns but the video didn't have the year or anything.

Stokely ran 30 yards down the field to scream at the official - you can bet they were looking for every excuse to throw him out of the game. They don't like to be shown up like that.

lol @ all the Vick comments
