No fines for the Eagles Red Kettle celebration?

[Sydla]

LOL at whining they didn't get a fine.

Seriously, this fan base sometimes. Hahaha.

I’ve tried not to weigh on it, but the amount of outrage some people have expressed over something that in the end isn’t a big deal at all is funny to me.

The celebration was posted on a popular NFL forum I visit, seen by fans of and 32 teams, and I’d say a good 75% of people thought it was funny. I think Cowboys fans were just especially offended given who did it and the Kettle is kind of “our team’s thing” now.

I thought it was stupid, but then, I think most of the celebrations are stupid. The only one I actually liked was Zeke's Jack-in-the-Box one.

Actually they were picking Dallas players out of the caddle. The salvation army was very happy about it. That someone protected their caddle.

If the story is true i do like what they did. I dont like our way to celebrate. Even if its funny it has no class.

That's a BS story. Why would they kick down a door and put on ski masks if they were there to pull Cowboys players out of the kettle?

They play for the Eagles, isn't that punishment enough?

Yeah. Cant remember were i read it. Anyways... it was as tasteless as ours.

I can't believe this bothers the NFL Office enough to fine Dallas or any visiting player. I think it brings attention to the charity. They are letting D.Watson from Cleveland play this year but fining guys who jump into a red bucket. Doesn't he tarnish the image of the league more than 3 TEs playing Wack A Mole?

Ugh, spending most of their time in Philadelphia?...I almost pity them.

Hey, it's past time for the NFL to have fined the eagles for their celebration against the Cowboys. What's the deal? Is this a penalty only reserved for Cowboys players?

It would help your case if they were in the kettle celebrating.

 

[meddleroidz]

Maybe they felt sorry for them?

felt sorry for the 1st seed?

But most Eagles fans still live there.

Maybe the NFL offices were closed from Christmas to New Year.

Watching that has me believing that at some point with each group attempting to be the canniest of the week that these types of celebratory charades could get out of hand in the near future, this one by Philthy was IMO inappropriate and likely not an activity the NFL will continue to tolerate, for now they simply don't have a rule for it, but if this continues a rule banning it will be created.

 

[Reid1boys]

They didn't actually touch it. There shouldn't be a fine.

BS.... the announcers even said when Zeke played with it but didnt touch it that it was still using it as a prop. So if I got down on a knee and leaned close into it a few inches away, I wouldnt be fined? I dont think so.

 

[JoeKing]

you have to jump in it they didnt

the celebration is fine imo i thought it was funny it seemed more like a grinch celebration than anything

Where did you hear that mess? You are just making crap up! Philly used the red kettle as a prop which is most certainly fineable! The league just likes Philly better and saw this as a chance to twist the knife that they already stuck in the Cowboy's back by fining them every chance they get.

 

[Hardline]

They promoted stealing from the poor. Only Brett Favre and the NFL could condone this behavior.

When has Brett Favre stole from the poor?

 

[Hardline]

I thought it was great because it showed how low life the players are just like their fans.

First post I've ever seen you post where you insult another teams fans more than ours.

We do have some mentally ill fans.

Recreate the Philly skit. If we get fined, we’ll KNOW there’s something fishy.
