    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Yeah, I laughed when I saw it too! Kinda funny to have an old dude gettin' that worked up. But I will say I'm glad the NFL fined him because when players do something wrong they get fined. I like that it cuts both ways with he NFL. Good job Roger!

    I think the old codger lost his mind, but it was one of the most hilarious scenes I have seen in some time.

    It makes me wonder why people think it's 'endearing' for this old guy to do this but when a player does it he's a 'troublemaker' or a 'thug'? And 250k is all he got fined? Come on, 250k to this guy is like $20 to the average joe...he won't even miss it.

    Never in my life have I thought of flipping the bird and endearing in the same thought, but ok. I think it is great that the old man still has alot of fire inside going back to the AFL days.

    And please give an example of one sole action of a player flipping someone the bird got talk about them being a thug or troublemaker??? Please name one.

    Bryan Cox. He did it twice. Once to an official when he was with the Bears (put it right up in the old man's face) and another time, when he was still with the Dolphins, at Rich Stadium as he walked out of the tunnel before a game. I thought both of those, especially the one in Buffalo, were hilarious. A lot of other people didn't.

    I saw a report on CNN tonight about some guy in Pittsburgh, who was cited and fined for flipping off a cop. He subsequently filed a lawsuit against the city, saying that the citation and fine violated his Constitutional right of free speech.

    Well apparently, the City Council just voted to settle with him for $50K! image
