Those words should be applied specifically to Lions fans . . .

Is Wes Welker a freakin' goldfish? I think he could remember a simple rule.

I wish all of the current Lions celebrated like Barry Sanders. At least that would mean they made it to the endzone.

lol
but this is crazy... that was probably one of the best celebrations ive seen in a while and it was in good spirits... nothing bad or anything...
i mean i respect goodell trying to make the nfl into a more clean and professional league but times change and you got to have room for some modern fun...

There's a difference between an entertaining celebration and an obnoxious/attention-seeking celebration. The commish needs to be able to draw that distinction. Making a snow angel is fun, not outlandish.

i would complain if hitler came back from the dead and did the celebration and got a fine because its not like he disrespected any team fans or the NFL so screw them if its a rule then its a rule but they should just take the penalty and leave it at that. wes welkers kids are at home scared to make snow angels because they dont want to cost there dad 10grand lol

As if they weren't before but the NFL is getting ridiculous with the fines their handing out. Personally, I like touchdown celebrations. There entertaining and fun to watch. However, if you get the entire offense together on the field and grab the refs and start River Dancing then it's a bit much.

Dirty/Late hit fines.... reasonable. But if fines for celebrations? Some of you are saying its a rule and a penalty. Then shouldnt we fine players who commit all other penalties?

I wish the NFL would fine Gosder Cherilus every time he negates a Calvin Johnson TD by getting called for illegal formation.

I thought it was a horrible ******* penalty at the time but worthy of a fine? Really? I don't care if it was Pac Man Jones doing the snow angel I would still be complaining about the fine.
I am wondering, were the fines handed out for stomping on the terrible towel because that was infinitely worse than the snow angel and I don't even think that should have warrented a fine.

What's $10,000 to a guy making about 300 times that much every year? I don't know what the big deal is.

Welker's snow angel was also not on the playing field. Just because Goodell hands out ******** fines doesn't mean he is being consistent. He isn't at all. He is just being a ******* moron.

Wow Ive just become aware of this and just wow. Have any other players who got penalized for celebrations received fines? If so i havent heard about it. Sammy Morris got a penalty for celebrating and I never heard of any fines going to him. hail comrade Goodell for taking the sport of football away from its fans and players.
