Jefferson fined for td celebration

wat??

Is this some twisted way for owners to claw back some pocket money for their trips to the strip clubs and massage parlors? Its so random and petty.

So will lamb get fined 26k for doing a double pistol celebration after a catch yesterday?  How about the archery celebrations i see from numerous players,  that is a weapon as well....  fucking dumb asses.  It's  like the NFL is racing college football to see who can be first to fuck up their cash printing machine.

Here's the thing: it can't be fucked up, its too popular. Its almost beyond reproach. The NFL ratings for Christmas Day were massive, with the MNF matchup that night the highest in 27 years.

nothing is unbreakable,  ask AB,  sure this little bit of idiocy isnt going to push fans away,  but I will admit that I dont watch nearly as much non Vikings games as I used to, even though I am at the point in my life ( empty nester ) that I have more time for such things than ever.   Definitely dont watch as much CFB as I did a few years ago either, the way the super teams and super conferences have turned the rest of the schools programs into JUCO level talent is just sad and is only getting worse.  The transfer portal has pretty much made the bowl games unwatchable with the players that are ineligible or simply choosing to sit out to protect their NFL status,  its just killing the bowls.

Keep in mind, you are getting close to being out of the target demographic. At 57, I'm out of that range. They care a lot less what fans like you and I think because of our age (I think you are still in your 40s, right?) and we are hardcore fans. The NFL wants the fence sitters, its a huge group. That's why NFL games like the 49ers and Ravens draw massive ratings, it moves the fence sitting demo off the fence.

Im watching less and less football every year.  Even Vikings games.  How many heartbreaks can I really take since the ‘70’s?
Also 57, Between the countless commercials, half of the starting QB’s out for the season, the NFL scriptwriters trying to keep games close or foster a comeback, add in the piss-poor officiating, its really not worth the “entertainment”. Yeah there are exciting moments, and Id be more jazzed if the Vikings had some hope this season, but meh....There are no games or matchups that motivate me to watch 3 hours of insurance commercials..errr...uh..football

They are definitely watering down the product no doubt. They are trying to get younger fans but they will lose some older fans at some point because both fan bases have different likes and dislikes. 

Discount double take?

Wait...so some of you are watching football less and less, yet the ratings keep going up and up? How is this even possible? I'll tell you how. It's not! There should be an investigation.

I didn't even see what Jefferson did to get the fine. Can we get some cash from Tepper too?
