Default OT: TO and his camera -- Big fine

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3027745

What is up with the NFL??

I saw this and I thought it was just typical TO. Kinda stupid, but not worth fining him over. I certainly don't like TO, but man, what has this league come to??

I mean, get over it. The NFL office is like way too important right now. It must be aweful working there. I bet everyone walks around pretending they are part of the FBI, or one of those stupid CSI shows. They all say things like, "Just the facts ma'am" and all that crap. Self important bunch of dweebs. They are going to ruin this game.

I am really not into all the stupid celebrations, but what the hey???

Are they just trying to be consistent? Meaning, everyone who does anything will be penalized or fined?

Alright, then I really do want someone to burn big time for giving Fox that tape. I mean, if these fools can't even make sure that a tape does not get into the wrong hands, who are they to levy such fines against some clown who uses a football to mimic a camera???

These people are pretty sensitive if you ask me.

Sheese.

What is next?

The NFL office should really have badges that flip open like the FBI I think.

What a bunch of self important dweebs.

Here I am sticking up for TO, but I have to admit that he is way better than these jerks right now.

Is it a big deal, no. Is it against the rules, yes. He used the ball as a prop, should've been 15 yds. I'm not sure a fine is automatic with that, though.

I don't like TO but how does he get fined and Chad Johnson not?
Also if the NFL is so powerful why dont they tell them cameramen not to show it. Like in the MLB and crowd "Participation"
Its cause it sells tickets thats why and the NFL knows it

I agree this is getting ridiculous.

I'm sure the league is so concerned with the leaked tape....I wonder if we'll ever find out who did it. I won't hold my breath.

I saw what TO did. Honestly, who cares? For TO it's positively tame.

I admit, I don't know the rule. Is it, "don't use the ball as a prop?"

But then, if you go off on the sidelines and do all that stuff with a jacket and what not you are a-ok?

Funny league.

Chad Johnson's was okay because he didn't dare to desicrate the sanctity of the NFL. Owens had the audacity to poke fun at this entire joke of an ordeal. He's lucky Goddell didn't suspend him four games.

That is just stupid.

If he is going to fine TO for that, then he had better put something behind finding out who leaked the tape!

Unbelieveable.
