lol thats funny i dident even see anything that was a big deal

 

You can't have a team celebration in the end zone , such as acting out something as they did.

 

Again I just don't see the problem with the celebrations???? As long as it's not taunting the other team or a player. We watch the NFL/NCAA for entertainment. So goof it up.

 

Meanwhile, Cowboys SS Gerald Sensabaugh gets a $5,000 fine for a horse collar? WTF??

 

Yeah, something's screwed up in the system.

 

Man for $60K you'd think I would've at least seen this celebration on Sports Centre - lame.

 

Fines for this are one of the gayer things in the NFL...

 

is that like NFL Europe?

 

Fixed.

I can see giving Desean the 15 yrds as he took it too far when he flopped down on the ground..... but everyone else met and high fived for all of 30 seconds. This is RIDICULOUS

 

Some bullcrap...

 

so let's see.

endzone celebration which hurts nobody = $10k


horse collar tackle that ends seasons = $5k


wow, what a message goodell is sending.
