Texsox Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 My favorite quote "It was the same thing in Atlanta," Haslett said. "He'll learn. He's only 32." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I wonder who he was calling. A - Anquan Boldin "No rookie is goin to take my Pro Bowl spot!" B - Jim Fassel "I heard the Arizona job is lookin good buddy!" C - His Momma "Momma I'm on National TV!" D - Michael Vick "How do you like this celebration, or do you still think my one in Atlanta shootin my teammates was betta?" And at least Jessie Palmer found it funny!

southsider2k5 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 What an idiot. What is it about the NFL that breeds morons? You don't see guys in the NHL doing stupid s*** like that when they score a goal, which happens a lot less than a TD in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the hits they would take for doing something like that? The guy would be a walking bruise from being thrown into the boards and wacked like the guy on the Ducks during the finals.

DBAHO Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Looks like he got fined. On SportsCenter he said fans deserved to hav fun or sumthin like that? While he has yet to receive official notification from the league, Saints' WR Joe Horn has been fined $30,000 by the NFL, a league source has told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The fine stems from the now-infamous post-touchdown celebration stunt in the second quarter of New Orleans' Sunday night game against the Giants. After scoring his second of four touchdowns in the game, Horn grabbed a cell phone from underneath the padding around the bottom of the goal post and pretended to make a call. The fine was confirmed for ESPN.com by agent Ralph Vitolo and one league source. Horn is expected to be apprised of the fine in writing on Wednesday, the day on which NFL officials typically notify players of any punitive actions. The fine represents about three-quarters of one game check, based on Horn's base salary of $700,000 for the 2003 season. But the punishment, according to Vitolo, could have been significantly harsher, with the league considering at one point a suspension of one or two games. "From what Joe was told (by Saints officials), the league wanted to come down harder on him, and there was a potential suspension on the table," Vitolo said. "But even the fine, as far as Joe is concerned, is exorbitant. I just told him that, when he got the paperwork, to send it on to me. We'll appeal and see if we can get the thing reduced. I mean, there was nothing malicious about it, right?" "Fining him is one thing, but to me that's very excessive. This is not a murder case," Vitolo said. The celebration, in which Saints wide receiver Michael Lewis pulled the cell phone from underneath the padding surrounding the goal post and handed it to Horn, drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. It also drew criticism from nearly every quarter of the NFL, including some players, and league officials acknowledged on Sunday night that Horn would face a penalty. Head coach Jim Haslett said the team would not punish Horn, but that he was disappointed in the receiver's "selfish" act. Lewis is expected to be fined $5,000. The incident was Horn's second "excessive celebration" reprimand of the season. The league warned players last season, after San Francisco wide receiver Terrell Owens pulled a Sharpie from his sock and autographed a football following a touchdown catch, that they would be subject to fines for bringing foreign objects onto the playing field. There is a likelihood that if Horn violated the guidelines again the sanctions will be increased. League officials almost certainly will apprise the eight-year veteran that the next incident will merit a suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
