Ellis fined $10,000

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)—New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for throwing snow at fans following the team's loss at Seattle on Sunday.

Several fans threw snowballs at New York players and staff as they walked off the field after the Seahawks' 13-3 victory. Ellis then walked over to a pile of snow, picked up a large chunk and tossed it into the stands at Qwest Field, appearing to hit at least a few fans. No one was believed to have been injured.

Ellis said Tuesday: "It was all in fun."

It's the latest troublesome incident involving Ellis, who was arrested for speeding and marijuana possession last month and could face a suspension next season under the league's substance-abuse policy.

Not a smart move on his part, potentially dangerous if there were kids there or ice in the pile, but still a lot of fun to watch.

There is the YOUTUBE version. You guys decide. Personally, I think the fans deserve it. It's OK for them to pelt players AND STAFF with snowballs, but it's just "fans having a good time"??!! Those snowballs could have had something put in them on purpose....bottle caps that can cut....batteries....amd who knows what....

I couldn't have said it better myself salsa. I don't know who made the rule that the fans can do whatever they want to these athletes and they have to take it.they should throw these fans out of the stadium the moment they start doing things like this

I agree. I didnt see the angel as mocking the opponent but rather just having fun. The fine is absurd.

I agree.The things the NFL is fining these days is ridiculous and it's getting out of hand.Like they say NFL stands for the No Fun League.


vurbano said:
I agree. Why arent the fans fined? Frankly Ellis and other players should sue the NFL for being assaulted by its fans that it cannot keep under control.
Click to expand...


good point.fine them,throw them out of the stadium and if it's persisting behavior just ban them from the stadium. But once they start getting fined I doubt there would be a need to ban a fan from a stadium.

Salsa is saying the fans deserve to have snow (actually an ice chunk) thrown at back at them by football players. Is that what we're all agreeing with?

We're all saying the fans should be prosecuted as far as the law allows, like the Giants did a few years ago.

Yes I'm agreeing with salsa here especially since it was a chunk of soft snow not a solid chunk of ice that can seriously injure someone. the player basically said to himself " you threw at me a few snowballs,i'm going to throw back at you the equivalent but in one shot :D" . If fans were actually prosecuted for actions like these there wouldn't be a need for retaliation by a player.

I agree with the sentiment.

But when you start debating if something thrown by a player at a fan is 'a chunk of soft snow' or a 'solid chunk of ice', you're getting into very subjective territory you don't want to get into.

Players cannot throw things at fans. Period. The Giants dealt harshly with their fans. They were actually prosecuted. And, what may have been even more important to some of them, they lost their season tickets.

Not sure how much season tickets mean in Seattle, but those fans should be prosecuted just like Giant fans were prosecuted.

And neither should fans. I am just saying that IF a player SEES YOU throwing something at a player or staff....NO ONE should be surprised that a player retaliate right back in the same way. IS it right? No, of course not. But you tell me, someone you don't know throws a snowball at you....are you gonna sit there and take it??

People have got to get past that these athlete are no different than you and I. They get pist, they get mad and they get angry when something is done to them just like you and I. When fans start realizing this, they won't act like f***ing morons at stadiums.

The Giants did the right thing...they went hard after their own fans. Prosecution, loss of season tickets, etc. That's what teams need to do. If the Seahawks, don't do what the Giants did, shame on them

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

It's only available for streaming customers, they still haven't added that batch of CW stations to satellite.

Even if it was, satellite customers still can't stream their CW affiliates via the app, just the Big 4, select PBS stations and some independents (mainly the ones that have full season NHL/NBA rights)

Yes the Cowboys owner needs to fire the general manager (himself), co-owner, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Executive Vice President, Director of Player Personnel, and President of AT&T Stadium (his son) and then he should jump off of a cliff. Only then can they recover.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

On the West Coast, a 40-cent differential is common. It used to be 30 cents before the prices rose above $3.

A "full dollar more" sounds like it may be boat gas (non-alcoholic), which is a whole different discussion.
