It was probably worth every penny. The NFL took their sweet fucking time before deciding to fine Santonio Holmes $10,000 for using the ball as a prop while celebrating his Super Bowl winning touchdown catch. DOES THAT MONSTER HAVE NO SHAME? Truth be told, the fine was levied not because Holmes used the ball as a prop, but instead because his celebration was an homage to LeBron James’ asinine chalk toss. I guess what I’m trying to say is that LeBron is ruining sports as we know it. [Schefter's Blog]

@Sundayhop – leave the Spurs the fuck out of it
Santonio should also be fined the “S” in his name.
@J4B – Yeah, what he said.
@J4B – Just call me Holmes, whitey.
@LaFavre’s Next Retirement: You laugh to keep yourself from crying. While I cannot feel your pain, I can imagine where it comes from. There, there. Shhhhh. It’s OK.
@ the last unitard
I feel your pain, brother.
MJ’s was more of a chalk clap…(Insert Santonio Holmes dick joke here)
At last! Can I finally hope then that fines are coming for the dastardly dances of that scoundrel Ickey Woods? Blast him!
How DARE HE celebrate the best moment of his entire life? Will no one STOP THIS MANIAC?
Also, the powder toss was originally MJ’s.
I would like to propose a new amendment: If your team wins the superbowl, you do not get to bitch about any of the calls in said game.
Just shut up and be glad your team did not lose four superbowls before you were born and then lose to vastly inferior teams in the NFC championship game twice in three years, with one of those losses being so embarrassing that I am still willing to throw down with any fan of said opposing team in a paltry effort to reclaim some shred of dignity that will not even dry my tears or keep me warm.
@MD & J4B – I laugh at your cocks!
The random insertion of Santonio Holms’ dick is never a joke!
Ok it’s just me. Que the fantasy/xex mailbag in…3…2….1….
You know what might have helped Arizona win that game? Keeping Santonio Holmes from scoring that TD!
You lose 100% of the games in which you score less than the other team.

Stupid Pats fans. That excessive celebration penalty was in the regular season week 17 matchup. Although that probably was why Hixon returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD.
/insert random Santonio Holmes dick joke
@miamidiesel: As a Pats fan, I must concur with you on all points. No flag on Moss on the go ahead score, and that was a drive for the ages by Eli. Whomever says differently can join Asante Samuel for a nice bag o glass sandwich.
Am I am detecting a little hostility from a Giants fan here or is it just me?
@j4b: there wasn’t even an excessive celebration penalty assessed against Moss and the Pats for that stupid chicken-wing/underwater swimming/whatever the fuck celebration that Moss did. From what I remember (and I was both at the game and have watched it a shit-ton of times on DVD), there was no flag, the Giants started their drive on their own 17yd line after Hixon’s return and drove 83 yards for the winning score. Not surprising to see a Pats fan engaged in some revisionist history, though.
/18*-1 will never get old
@ susie
Visanthe Shiancoe laughs at your joke. That’s all that matters.
Just because a penis is laughable does not make it a joke.
In other news, Pats fans are still a bunch of whiny little bitches. Case in point from Schefter’s blog:
this forever taints this steelrs SB win & we just need to look at the 07 SB to see how much a 15 yard excessive celebration penalty cost randy moss & the patriots !!… the Patriots took the lead w/ just over 2 minutes left against the giants & moss was flagged for 15 yards on his TD pass…this gave the Giants great field position & they made a miracle catch & won the game …. no doubt the Cardinals w/ Warner, Fitzgerald /Boldin had a BETTER chance at a 50 yard hail mary catch than even Brady & Moss did… give Warner & Fitzgerald/Boldin 3 shots at the endzone on a jump ball & I’ll bet the Cards comes down w/ the ball at least once … …cardinals got robbed.
Some people just can’t let shit go.
Oooooooooooh pbhawks45 just got bitched out by a chick about his dick size. I’m sure that doesn’t happen everyday.
/hype man
There should be a $50,000 minimum fine for doing LeBron doing KG.
He stole that chalk toss from kevin gahhnet, NO ONE DENIES THIS!
Because KG hasn’t been doing the chalk thing since he entered the league. Only LeBron does that, ever. Forever.
LeBron.
pbhawks45, are you being sarcastic, dude?
it was a better homage than kurt warner’s attempt at a crab dribble.
Don’t be jealous. Penis jokes make the world go ’round. Unless of course, your packing one that is a joke. In which case, I apologize for the poor taste.
Oh look, a Santonio Holmes joke about his penis. Get it? Because he has a big dick!!
How did they come up with the number 10,000? Was he fined per inch?
I don’t know who this Lebron character is, but I still can’t figure out what all this fuss is about. Can any celebration be excessive when you just caught a pass to win the fucking Superbowl?
Every time I see that white powder fly up in the air, I think to myself what a waste!
I thought the $10,000 actually went towards an out-of-court settlement paid to Nike for copyright infringement.
