NFL fines Horn $30,000 Between displays like this and the skipping routine of Warren Sapp, professional football has become a bunch of 12 year olds, competing to see who can make a bigger ass of themselves, even after a meaningless score, as in the case of the Falcon's Duckett, who had the gall to celebrate after a score that brought them close enough to the Colts that 4 more touchdowns and a field goal would have had them tied.

I'm sure being a professional athelete is great; to be adored by thousands of people who will delight in your antics, support you even after abusing drugs, raping women, or even killing your pregnant girlfriend. But the celebration is obscene. You're getting these multi-million dollar salaries to _do your job_! I'm sure it would be more exciting for people if after every time I wrote a particularly neat piece of code, I would start dancing around the room, slapping my ass and making throat-slashing gestures at my fellow programmers.

When you score a touchdown, hand the ball to the referee. That's it. Anything else, and you're suspended. Forget fines, because players pulling down the salaries that these guys are probably have $30K in loose change in their couch. But when you're suspended, you're hurting your team, and then maybe the childish behavior will stop.
