NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL fined Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil $40,000 Monday for his obscene gesture at game officials. The league said Cecil violated a rule that prohibits use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to game officials. Television cameras caught Cecil using his right hand to make the gesture when officials flagged his defense for a neutral zone infraction during the second quarter Sunday. The penalty gave Denver first-and-goal, and Kyle Orton threw a 2-yard touchdown pass on the next play for a 7-0 lead.
ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas was fined $5,000 by the team Friday for an unsportsmanlike act last week in the Metrodome. Delmas made a hand gesture to fans during the game against the Minnesota Vikings. A photo of Delmas flipping off Vikings fans first appeared on Deadspin.com. Center Dominic Raiola, back in 2008, was fined $7,500 by the Lions for a similar gesture at Ford Field.
Has anyone noticed that Delmas is a clone of NFL great Chuck Cecil? They both wear #26, both have spent their careers just destroying dudes who come over the middle and they're both really fond of the Hawaiian peace sign.
Chuck Cecil is my all time favorite Green Bay Packer. That dude was crazy.
