interesting

I was suprised he wasn't penalized at the time.  It seemed like textbook taunting: he pointed at his defender, flipped into the endzone, and then did a little dance.  I know he didn't have a sharpie, but still.

hm

he's about to lose much more than $5,000.

not really a big deal for him

Someone handed him way more than $5k before his first class at SC.

League Fines Reggie Bush for Being Fast

Reggie Bush should have been penalized a fifteen yard penalty just for embarrassing the bears D.... 88 Yards

(remember the only reason he won the hiesman is the weak Fresno state D)

Look, I understand the NFL tries to sap all the enjoyment out of the game, but this is just goofy. How can the league fine Bush for taunting during the play? In the future, are we going to see players docked for hurting other players' feelings?

What do you think would have happend in the 80's for this finger pointing?
the NFL has gone queer

Did you say the same thing

when TO was doing it?  Or is this a new found feeling now that your boy is getting harassed by the man?

I would have...

...if I spent much time following pro-ball, which looks like it's about to disappear up its own ass with self-importance. But then I also take the view that players pay for taunting not via fines, but when the opposition catch up with them.

Look at that hit that Bush took early against Philly -- I know it wasn't for taunting, but with his money I'd think $5k would be a cheap alternative to having the third grade knocked out of me. And if it knocked out any knowledge of agent-related chicanery, so much the better.

Rule is a rule

Why do you care if Reggie gets fined 5 grand?  Reggie does not, because he made more that that in just that play, and probably will get more sponsorship money for the publicity that comes with getting fined.

You're right of course

At those salaries, $5k is an annoyance.

If he wrote out the check himself...

....he'd have made more money in the time it took him to write it than what he was whacked with.  

They should fine % of game checks.

I agree with Trojan DC .

They should let it catch up with him during a game just like it will for K.Heard...............

Just Remember, No Matter What Happens, ou SUCKS.
