vmax Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Quote For Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters, a celebratory drink cost him five figures. Peters was fined $14,037 for drinking a beer after his pass breakup at the end of the game sealed the Ravens' 24-17 win against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. After knocking down Josh Allen's fourth-down pass at the Baltimore 1-yard line with 1:03 remaining, Peters jumped into a section filled with Ravens fans at Buffalo's New Era Field and shotgunned a can of beer as he lay back in their arms. The NFL fined Peters for unsportsmanlike conduct. Peters reacted on Twitter and didn't seem too fazed by the fine. Baltimore clinched a playoff berth with Peters' heroics. ...https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28297717/ravens-marcus-peters-fined-14k-celebratory-beer-fans It gets crazier and crazier....

papasmurfbell Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Bullshit. https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/2019-nfl-rulebook/ Quote Using any object as a prop, or possessing any foreign or extraneous object(s) that are not part of the uniform on the field or the sideline during the game, other than the football after a scoring play or change of possession. If any foreign object(s) are deemed a safety hazard by the game officials, in addition to a yardage penalty, the player will be subject to ejection from the game, whether he uses the object or not. This must be what they got him on. Now for the next time he should not touch the can. Let the fan pour the bear in his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long after the news of Peters’ fine broke, Bud Light jumped on the opportunity to gain a little goodwill in Baltimore and offered to make a donation to charity in the amount of Peters’ fine.
