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.
