Twitter: NFL fines WR CeeDee Lamb $10,300 for waving goodbye to Patriots DB Jalen Mills after TD

[jaythecowboy]

Did you also know the league WOULD NOT fine Mills for his late hit, which actually could have injured CD?

That is still considered a football play. People get hit in the endzone while scoring all the time way worse than that.

"But Lamb slowed down and looked at Mills."

My point is you tried to suggest Lamb was running full speed the whole way. He clearly didn't. At least make an argument without trying to skew facts.

I never said Lamb was running full speed. He slowed down and looked toward Mills. Just because Lamb slowed down and looked at Mills does not give Mills the right to push Lamb 2 yards after he scored.

Mills should have been fined if anybody was fined. Lamb did a great job of keeping his composure and just waving at Mills after he was pushed hard in the back.

If it's unnecessary, it's a penalty.

Yes, that's the weakest excuse I've seen around here for quite some time. And by some of our own fans who actually played sports...

Lamb should have been penalized and fined three times.
1. Running slow
2. Looking at the defender he smoked.
3. Waving.

I truly hope Mills recovers from these heinous acts.

Not in that situation. Maybe if you are catching the ball in the end zone and the defender is trying to knock the ball loose.

Agree on the hypocrisy of the ad thing. And it wasn't the wave. It was the slowing down while in play and looking back at the DB. The fact that Lamb could have been injured is why he shouldn't have done it in the first place. If Mills wanted to be a real jerk, Lamb could have been done for the season. And for what?

Where is your source for that? Every source I've seen stated that it was for the wave. And your defense of Mills is strange. Ceedee already scored and then the shove. If that isn't unsportsmanlike conduct as well, then what is? Should Lamb have slowed down? No. Should that give Mills a free pass to shove after the TD? No. Would Lamb have waved goodbye without the shove?

You also go on to defend Rodgers who used profanity to taunt fans. Taunting fans is not against the rules. However, his little champion ship belt moves against opposing players is and he still does it. Using profanity to taunt fans could also be considered conduct detrimental to the league.

Until the league is consistent in enforcement, there will always be cries of bias and rightfully so.

The woke NFL will have a seminar for all rookies next year titled:
Don’t tease. It might hurt someone’s feelings. Feelings are more important than actions!

I've seen it on rushing tds pretty regularly. The guy with the ball is well in the endzone and the defender is still trying to knock the ball out. The play with Lamb is so close I initially thought the ball might have been short.

 

[G2]

Lamb should have been suspended for 6 games.

Next, they illustrate the safe way to bubble wrap each other.

You're dancing hard around the point. But whatever.

It's a yes/no question. Are there rules that say players can't engage with fans and is there a rule that says players can't engage with other players?

 

[MarcusRock]

Lmao, that's your angle? Oh boy....

Again, another yes/no question. Did Lamb slow down and look back at the DB to taunt? Not wanting to answer these questions tells you all you need to know.

 

[MarcusRock]

Rodgers didn't do it to another player? Are you blind or did you fail to see Rodgers do the championship belt discount double check move in front of his waist while looking at the Bears defenders ....

Yep. Rodgers is looking right at the Bears DB here. When you have to lie to make your point, you have no point. You're done here.

 

[G2]

Again, another yes/no question. Did Lamb slow down and look back at the DB to taunt? Not wanting to answer these questions tells you all you need to know.

Prove that he was taunting by slowing down and looking at a player. Good God that's a flimsy point you're digging you heals into.
I know you want to come across as the forum official, but there are TONS of scoring plays like that and they're not called.
Your hero "Boss" discount double checks are WAY more obvious to be taunting than slowing down and looking at a player.

You don't even get that you don't get it.

"Just answer the question or I'll determine all I need to know." Lmao.

Lamb should have been suspended for 6 games.

Why not just take his job and end his career because he was not “Woke”.

Anytime you commit a “Woke” infraction, such as teasing, you lose your career.

Why would the defender be trying to knock the ball loose from a runner after he already scored. It’s a TD at that point. Knocking the ball loose from a receiver is another story.

Very different. Not only did Mills get beat, but after Lamb was well across the line and scored, he shoved him to the ground. I mean, if we're going to be honest and nit-pick player safety I'd say that's pretty unsafe.

 

[MarcusRock]

I never said Lamb was running full speed. He slowed down and looked toward Mills.

That was my point. The slowing down let Mills back into the play and he went for it because he was being taunted to boot.
