He got fined 7,500 dollars for this touchdown dance which I wish I could find a youtube clip of. The man's a jackass but he makes me laugh sometimes....
The caption reads

T.O. fined 'thousands' for mock videotape TD celebration
September 19, 2007
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- After seeing the videotape of Terrell Owens' latest touchdown celebration, the NFL office wasn't laughing.
Owens said Wednesday he was fined "a good chunk of money" -- which he later defined as thousands of dollars -- for a celebration that included him using the goal post and football to poke fun at the New England Patriots' spying scandal during Dallas' 37-20 victory over Miami this past Sunday.
A league spokesman said the fine was $7,500.
"It wasn't even the fact I used the goal post as a prop," Owens said. "They said I used the ball."
Beyond being confused about what he can and can't do, Owens is frustrated by the league's policing of end-zone scenes.
"It's kind of hard to understand the rules," he said. "It's like you can't do nothing no more. ... Dude, it's like they're trying to find any way to take fun out of the game. So I'm kind of limited right now as far as what I can do."
T.O. plotted his celebration days before, after getting suggestions from callers on his weekly radio show. He said he likes making them timely.
Now, though, he's going to be more careful with what he does.
"Nothing's worth getting a fine for," he said.
Owens said he'll consider an appeal, but "it may not even be worth it."
How about saving his act until he gets to the sideline?
"I guess so," he said. "Next, they're going to be saying you can't go to the sidelines." |

| Seems a bit harsh. I thought winding up the opponents is a part of sport these days. |

| Wow, such bullshit over THAT? I thought he was doing inappropriate things to the pole with the ball... I guess that is just my overimagination. Was that really worth $7500 ? I think not. |
