Wes Welker Fined.

Yes, that Wes Welker. Fined for the snow angel celebration. Cost him 10k. Ridiculous if you ask me.

$10,000 to make a snow angel after a touchdown.. or $10,000 to throw a big ass thing of snow at a loser fan..

I think Shaun Ellis got the better deal.

And the show has reached a new low.

White America is not going to be happy about this.

I've said it once and I'll say it again.

Goodell is a jackass.

tjsunstein · 12-24-2008, 02:05 PM

Anyone know when Goodell's power trip is gonna end? I think he's fined more players/coaches so far than Paul did in his entire career.

illmatic74 · 12-24-2008, 02:12 PM

Anyone knows where the money goes?

Good question. Wouldn't it be hilarious if we found out it went directly to Goodell's pocket? Or atleast some of it...

Well, at least it appears that he is consistent with his fines for celebrations. Like it or not, Welker broke a rule and he got fined, like most of the other cases. Sure, I don't think such a celebration should be a fineable offense but at least he's not playing favorites (it seems).

Fines go to various charities and such.

How are either of them fines? People like to play with snow, it's fun!

tjsunstein · 12-24-2008, 02:23 PM

He's consistent but I don't think there should be a rule against such a celebration. This was in good fun. He wasn't mocking the opposing team, making obscene gestures, or doing anything disrespectful. I feel like if you're fined for making a snow angel, someone should be fined for spiking the ball. It's such a harmless foul.

exactly if you get fined for making a snow angel you should be fined for spiking,dancing,jumping in the crowd(even if its just one guy), etc.

Then it should be taken up in the offseason. And honestly, the rule that banned players from going to the ground and doing celebrations like snow angels was put into place before Goodell ever was the commissioner. In fact, take it up with the team owners, they are the ones who put it into place.

Your rational logic has no place on these boards sir.

Flame on boys! Down with his head! I hate the NFL so much I'm going to talk about it everyday, watch every week, and probably buy merchandise and or tickets. But other than that, I am DONE!

Yep, sounds good.

tjsunstein · 12-24-2008, 02:32 PM

Not everyone handles a touchdown like Barry Sanders. Some tend to be a little excited.

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 12-24-2008, 02:34 PM

right theres some people who play the game because its fun.
