Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
I don’t really like all the show boating idiots like Chad Johnson or TO perform on a regular basis, but throwing the ball into the stands seems fine to me, almost a NFL tradition. Whats the harm in that, how is that excessive celebration? I didn’t see the play, but unless he pegged it at some Seahawks fan or offered it to the Ref then pulled a “yoink” and tossed it into the stands whats the problem?
His team is losing he throws the balls into the stands to the few fans that actually showed up in St. Louis, and to the even fewer fans that were still in the stadium watching after the game was all but over. Steven Jackson fined $5,000 for throwing ball in stands | ProFootballTalk.com

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
I all ways thought it was a standard fien of $500 for tossing a ball or handing a ball to a fan. I guess throwing a ball in celebration is looked at differently and I also don't know why it could not be a penalty for celebrating with an object.

As for the price of the football, MSRP of an official Wilson game ball is $110. Amazon sells them for $80, and I'm sure the NFL gets a good deal on the 36 game balls they use for each game.

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
According to the 2008 NFL Fine Schedule, the fine for throwing a ball into the stands is a mandatory $5,000 for the first offense and $10,000 for the second offense. I'm not sure what changes, if any, were made for the 2009 season. Here are some of the other listed fines ... pretty interesting list.
Offense Against Game Official Physical Contact with Official First Offense: $25,000 Second Offense: $50,000 Verbal or other Non-Physical Offense Against Official First Offense: $20,000 Second Offense: $40,000 Flagrant Personal Foul Suspension or fine; severity to be determined by degree of violation; the fine may be $10,000 or higher for first offense. Fighting Fighting First Offense: $10,000 Second Offense: $25,000 Unnecessarily Entering Fight Area (active involvement) First Offense: $5,000 Second Offense: $10,000 Unnecessarily Entering Fight Area (no active involvement) First Offense: $2,500 Second Offense: $7,500 Sportsmanship Excessive Profanity; other Unsportsmanlike Conduct (e.g., toward opponent(s), game personnel, fans, etc.) First Offense: $10,000 Second Offense: $20,000 Taunting First Offense: $7,500 Second Offense: $10,000 Football Into Stands First Offense: $5,000 Second Offense: $10,000 Uniform Foreign Substances on Body/Uniform First Offense: $10,000 Second Offense: $15,000 Personal Messages First Offense: $5,000 Second Offense: $10,000 Chin Straps First Offense: $7,500 Second Offense: $10,000 (Additional fines may be imposed on team management and coaching staffs for condoning, permitting, etc., violations in this area) Other Uniform/Equipment Violation First Offense: $5,000 Second Offense: $10,000 On Field Logo Violation Preseason and Regular Season First Offense: $10,000 Second Offense: $20,000 Playoffs (Including Pro Bowl) First Offense: $50,000 Second Offense: $75,000 Super Bowl $100,000 Gang Signing Considered conduct detrimental to the League; suspension or fine; severity to be determined in accordance with provisions of the Personal Conduct Policy. |

Still 5000 seems petty and harsh. |

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
Geesh, $10K the next time he does it.
Anything over the cost of the ball is ridiculous.

I wonder what happened when Cory Dillon threw his pads and helmet into the stands after his last Cincinnati game?

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
I can understand charging the price of the football, but what the hell. Throwing a ball into the stands will make people actually want to come back to a game.
NFL is going to shoot themselves in the foot hard one day.

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
I think that the fine is much more than the cost of the ball in part because they have a limited number of balls on game day and they don't want to run out. But, yeah, the fine used to be $500, not $5k.

Re: Steven Jackson fined 5k for throwing ball into the stands
I recall when it was 1000 I believe.. there was a guy who frequently threw his TD balls way up into the stands but his name is escaping me at the moment. They said it was a "safety issue" but we all knew that wasn't the case.
