2018 NFL Week THREE Fine Blotter, Part Negative One

Yeah, I'll go there, but I think this one's obvious.  And if the league doesn't fine him this at minimum, we're going to have to talk.
  • New York Jets:  Isaiah Crowell.  TWO TIME LOSER, Same Play.  $20,053 will be his fine, according to the NFL Fine Schedule when he gets his letter in eight days.  
Deadspin reported on it tonight.

Crowell scored in the second quarter of the game with the Cleveland Browns to put the Jets up 14-0.

He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for shitting out the football in his touchdown celebration.  For that, he will be fined the standard $13,369 fine.

He then will be fined an additional $6,684 at MINIMUM for throwing the ball into the stands in Cleveland.

If I were the official (and yes, for those wondering, Joe Buck was on the NFL Network broadcast and had another "moment" with this), I'd have thrown a second 15-yard penalty and expelled Crowell from the contest for taunting!

Worse yet:  It woke the Browns.  The Cleveland Browns won their first National Football League game since Christmas Eve of 2016, 21-17.
