Well all you Cards fans that whined and cried about Tone's celebration after the game winning TD catch. Here is your little justice compliments of Adam Schefter and the NFL network..

Wonder if maybe Diney will pay the bill for him...

No more blunts for Tone, and I am sort of tired of the seventy five word limit, but it is a small price to pay for all the great commentary, discussions, berating of the BEERMAN13.. that should do it..

oh yea GO STEELERS

If you don’t want to post 75 words I would suggest using a FanShot…

I think this post would have been perfect for a FanShot and I know Blitz is looking for ways to promote the FanShots, so anytime you have something like this it would be perfect for a FanShot.

So do you think this should be a fanshot?

Haha, I don’t think I could have said fanshot one more time. Oops!

Well now people are debating

if he was paying tribute to LeBron KG or MJ. I don’t have a link but it’s funny what people will debate.

Some history

MJ first started the talcom powder thing when he used to put it on his hands and clap them together right in front of the faces of the Bulls announcers, Red Kerr and Tom Dore (Morons, btw. I couldn’t stand listening to them when I lived there. Worst homers ever). The chalk would puff into their faces, and they would always comment on it as he did it. It became a tradition.

KG then took that and started throwing the powder into the air.

Now Lebron does the same thing KG did, but it has gotten more notoriety than when KG did it.

I think the fine was excessive

I can’t believe Santonio was fined 10 large for his display. I don’t understand using the ball as a prop thing. Willie P bowled with the ball after his last touchdown against San Diego and nobody said a word. Was that not using the ball as a prop? How about some consistency Goodell? It seems really tickey tackey and that it was done to appease the whining Cardinal fans. I’m so sick of hearing that the 15 yard penalty would have made a difference. Deal with it Cardinal fans. You guys lost. Go cry on Holmgren’s shoulder.

'Tone is a poor kid from really the WRONG side of the tracks....

Belle Glade, Florida – known to nearby detractors as Belle AIDS – is one of the poorest and most hopeless places in America. It first came to my attention watching a CBS documentary on migrant workers called “Harvest of Shame.”

That was back in 1960, when Edward R. Murrow showed how black farm workers were pratically auctioned off like slaves in Belle Glade.

More recently, the town’s HIV rate was so high that scientists were studying whether mosquitos from neighboring Lake Okeechobee might be spreading the disease.

‘Tone is loyal and proud of his old homies, and that’s fine. But he has to grow beyond them. He didn’t when he was stopped with the weed in his SUV. And he didn’t after the catch, either. That celebration was self-centered and stupid.

Of course, J. Skippy Reed and Mitchell Berger didn’t grow up in Belle Glade, Florida, yet their actions – on the field and off – have also damaged the team. So we’re not necessarily talking about being poor and black. We all have to grow up, sooner or later.

But I do worry about Holmes, and hope that the mentoring he gets from Hines and other members of the Steeler family provides him the guidance that each of us needs to become a responsible adult - both on the field and off. I haven’t written him off, not at all. But he is a work in progress. And I think, for that reason, the fine is a good thing.

It’s what some people call a teachable moment.
