A person familiar with the NFL’s disciplinary decision has told The Associated Press that Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has been fined $10,000 for his questionable touchdown celebration in a loss to the New York Jets last weekend. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the league has not made an announcement. Johnson declined to comment except to say he had an overnight courier envelope from the NFL left at his locker Wednesday. Johnson was fined as a result of a celebration in which he mocked Jets receiver Plaxico Burress by mimicking shooting himself in the thigh after scoring on a 5-yard catch late in the first half. Burress served 20 months in prison for shooting himself in a New York City nightclub in 2008. Source: Associated Press
i'm not feeling real good about the penalty and now the fine about this. i think there's a line but i'm not sure this crossed it.
Doesnt make it less funny lol...but i guess cuz he hit the ground after the shot it made it excessive celebration but he didnt get a penalty on the field for it that i remember
i understand there's a 'line' between a fun celebration and tasteless act .......... i'm just not sure stevie went over that line but the refs and league apparently feel like he did
