“Eagles linebacker Brian Rolle was fined $10,000 for his actions following a play against the New York Giants on Sunday night,” rantsports.com reports. “Rolle dropped Giants running back DJ Ware for a loss on a running play and then proceeded to do a machine gun celebration.” What exactly did that look like? Aimed at whom? Stance? Grip? Duration? Combat reload? Where’s the pic? The YouTube video? The T-shirt? The NFL’s Powers-That-Be have put the lid on this one, but good. Anyone TiVo the game?

The NFL forced the players to stop using a throat slitting motion a few years ago, so this is nothing new. It is their game, and they can do what they want to make their product more “family friendly.”
NFL.com offers GameRewind for $20/Season – you can watch every minute of every game for the entire season (Playoffs are extra).I am not sure how to capture the flash to make your own YouTube video.
I just went and check, and it is there – it is brief and hardly worth the fine… although he had some “crazy eyes” going on. That’s probably what it was.
I am not a football fan. I don’t like it at all and don’t consider it a sport.But that doesn’t matter as on Turkey Day my TV is on what my guest desires, Green Bay v Detroit. Best part of the program was when Ndamukong Suh pounended the head of of the opposing player in the ground, then stomped on the guys arm. Excuse me, I though this was a firearms forum.
First, it is not a forum, at least not in the typical design of a forum with threads created by anyone.
Second, it is all things guns and guns-related. The discussion on this article was about a fine for someone mimicking the shooting of a machine gun and an editorial on the thought-process (see? I spelled “thought” correctly) of a major sports commissioner (and if Football isn’t a sport, I don’t know what you think is – figure skating perhaps?) and penalizing someone for even “play-acting” like they have a gun.
This blog covers societal issues surrounding guns and the cultural acceptance and non-acceptance of our guns and rights – in all its flavors.
Ewe two funnee! 😉
He must have been firing the new stealth version of the Evil Black Rifle Death Machine.
Can’t be too careful. If ending air guitar gun shenanigans saves even one life…
