Today's challenge for all you Internet sleuths: Did Mark Richt give the one-finger salute to Urban Meyer in the closing minute of Saturday's Georgia-Florida game.
Meyer called two timeouts in the final minute with his team leading by 39 points. "It seemed like you might have been trying to rub it in there," one reporter said. "No," Meyer replied. "Just trying to win the game."
This would be out of character for Richt and we have yet to see the video. The images first appeared on Ode to the Gators and the Big Lead is questioning if they are real. Anybody have the video?
I still have it on DVR, but I don't feel like going back to check it out. Too painful.

I have seen the replay on Sun Sports (both Sunday Morning and Tuesday evening) and they are real. They are not photoshops.
At the time Richt did this, Meyer had his headset off and was staring straight across the field. Richt would have been looking right at him. He knew what he was doing.

I do not have the video, but I watched the Sun Sports replay Tuesday night and the video is in fact real. I question whether or not Richt 'intentionally' gave the finger but it did indeed happen.
