Owens said Wednesday he was fined "a good chunk of money" -- which he later defined as thousands of dollars -- for a celebration that included him using the goal post and football to poke fun at the New England Patriots' spying scandal during Dallas' 37-20 victory over Miami this past Sunday.

I only caught a quick shot of T.O.'s celebration and I didn't realize that he was mocking the Pats issue until I read this article. That's freaking awesome!! hahahaha

"It wasn't even the fact I used the goal post as a prop," Owens said. "They said I used the ball."

This really is the "No Fun League". I can understand some of the celebrations that get out of hand. Like T.O.s "Sharpie" celebration or Joe Horn's "cell phone" because those include planting "props" on the uniform or field and that can start to get dangerous, but common, something like this is harmless IMO. The real reason for the fine is that it makes the league look bad because it's bringing up am embarrassment for the league. Now if he had done a Mike Vick dog fighting celebration, THAT would warrant a huge punishment.
What are your thoughts?
