The NFL is basically the Grinch for penalizing a snow angel

The NFL had a pair of games unfold under snowy conditions that made for a pair of fun snow angel moments. Too bad it lived up to its reputation as the "No Fun League."

The San Francisco 49ers, a team from a city that rarely sees snow, enjoyed playing in the white stuff against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday. At least, until the refs got involved.

On a Bears punt attempt, 49ers defender Shaun Draughn managed to block the punt and teammate Dontae Johnson picked up the loose ball and ran it in for a touchdown. Johnson then hit the deck for a snow angel (because what else are you supposed to do?) and fellow 49er Rashard Robinson joined him.

But this is the NFL and nothing fun goes unpunished. Even though Johnson stepped out of bounds at the 4 yard line, negating the touchdown, officials still flagged Robinson for his snow angel, pushing the 49ers back.

For some reason, Johnson wasn't flagged, maybe because he was first to do the snow angel and the NFL only allows one snow angel per team? Or maybe it's just because it's the NFL and celebration penalties have no rhyme or reason.

Meanwhile, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Packers receiver Randall Cobb had better luck when he reeled in a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to take the lead over the Houston Texans. Cobb celebrated with his own snow angel.

(Only after his snow angel was complete did Cobb take the traditional Lambeau Leap into the stands, swamped by bundled-up Packers fans.)

The kicker: the refs did not throw a flag against Cobb, showing the NFL's inconsistency in snow angel-related penalties..

Take a note from these refs, NFL: Snow angels are good.

Penalties for snow angels are bad.

Don't be a Grinch.
