The NFL Fined Stefon Diggs More For Drinking Beer Than They Fined Jerry Tillery For Headhunting Justin Herbert
Here is an instant replay of these two plays.
So, just for some clarification from the NFL.
- Stefon Diggs is beloved in Buffalo. He celebrates with his home team fans by crackin a couple beers together like Stone Cold. In Buffalo. A bastion of blue collar, hard workin folks that love their beer! The NFL thinks it should take $13,695 out of Diggs pocket for this.
- Jerry Tillery is a 1st round bust that couldn't play for shit and forced his way out of the organization after becoming a locker room cancer.
Now playing for a division rival, he goes out of his way to hit his former quarterback while he is out of bounds. I repeat: he goes out of his way to hurt the quarterback of his former team. The NFL decided that is not as bad as Diggs cracking a beer and fines him $10,927.
Lets recap: According to the NFL, crackin some beers as a gesture of love your home fans is worse than a bitter player head-hunting his ex-teams franchise centerpiece.
Makes sense! Good job, Rodger. Thats why they pay you the big bucks!
