We’re throwing a flag on this one.
On Thursday, Pro Football Talk reported the NFL fined Derek Carr $14,000 for his landing celebration following a 1-yard QB sneak in a 44-19 romp over the Cowboys in Week 2.
After scoring, Carr pulled out the Michael Jackson “crotch seize” dance, which PFT’s Mike Florio reminded Jackson even performed throughout his 1993 Tremendous Bowl headlining set.
NewOrleans.Soccer’s Nick Underhill famous that the NFL’s hard-line stance on Carr’s celebration is much more hypocritical, contemplating the league amplified the celebration by itself social media accounts.
The folks employed to run the league’s social media accounts aren’t the identical ones figuring out participant fines, however Carr’s punishment exhibits why the NFL has earned the “No Enjoyable League” moniker.
After signing a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints final offseason, Carr will nonetheless be capable to hold the lights on his dwelling regardless of the advantageous.
And the way in which he is enjoying, the advantageous may not cease him from dancing.
Carr has been enjoying one of the best soccer of his profession by way of two weeks, main the Saints on 15 scoring drives on his first 15 possessions.
He leads the NFL in QBR (96.2), passer score (142.5), yards per try (11.4) and is tied for the lead in passing touchdowns (5).
We can’t blame him for busting out extra strikes if the undefeated Saints proceed streaking towards the 1-1 Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) in Week 3.
The NFL may disapprove, however at the very least it would get good content material from it.
