That’s $5,000 a Somersault, Mr. Bush

By oddSeth ⋅ January 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Reggie Bush has been fined $5,000 by the NFL for taunting during his 88 yard TD reception versus the Bears in the NFC championship game, during which he pointed back at Brian Urlacher and then somersaulted into the end zone.

No offense to the NFL, but that’s just dumb, on all sorts of levels. None of the officials on the field deemed it excessive enough for a penalty when it happened, so how about you stick to counting all of the cash you rake in, week after week, because of the dynamic, exciting athletes like Reggie Bush that play your game and draw fans, like fat kids on cake?
