Packers vs. Cowboys

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

The refs screwed the Pack yesterday. Besides the bad pass interference call that led to 7 points, did anyone else notice that they didn't call a penalty on TO for excessive celebration when he threw popcorn on himself. I thought the NFL rules barred the use of any props during a TD celebration. That was pretty hard to miss.

I did not see the Bengals game but did they throw a flag on Chad Johnson when he grabbed the television camera? Did he get fined by the NFL for using a prop?

T.O. got fined $7,500 by the NFL 2 weeks ago for waving a touchdown towel on the sidelines. The NFL reasons stated that it was NOT NFL sanctioned memoriabilia. But yet only a few days after he was fined for it, NFL Network was using a film clip of T.O. waving the same "unofficial" towel to "plug" the game last night!

I ask you, where is the consistency in this issue?

I will bet we will see a fine by the NFL on Wednesday next week on T.O. for the popcorn incident. I would be shocked if he was not fined.

I know he got hit with a 15 yarder. I don't know if he was fined though.

Haha; I sort of find him funny in that obnoxious or infectious sort of way.

TO, on the other hand... well, I'll just leave it at that, before I get myself into trouble.
