Nothing wrong with a player wanting to start a snowball fight with Seattle Fans.

Jets’ Ellis fined $10,000 for tossing snow at fans

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)—New York Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for throwing snow at fans following the team’s loss at Seattle on Sunday.

Several fans threw snowballs at New York players and staff as they walked off the field after the Seahawks’ 13-3 victory. Ellis then walked over to a pile of snow, picked up a large chunk and tossed it into the stands at Qwest Field, appearing to hit at least a few fans. No one was believed to have been injured.

Ellis said Tuesday: “It was all in fun.”

It’s the latest troublesome incident involving Ellis, who was arrested for speeding and marijuana possession last month and could face a suspension next season under the league’s substance-abuse policy.

I thought, it was brett farve at first...but then I realized if he threw a snowball, a member of the opposing team would have caught it and run it back for a touchdown

ahaha, at first i thought it was the other guy right before (who also threw a snowball)

but then i see the other guy waltz up and pick up this snow boulder and toss it into the stands ahaha. he shouldn't have been fined for that. the people who got hit looked like they enjoyed it.

he shouldn't have been fined.

that hits his marijuana fund hard.

Wonder what the dude's sign said, "Throw snowboulder here!"

This is why Plaxico carries a gun. Never know when a snowball weilding fan will go apes**t. On a serious tip, if Junior Seau had gotten hurt when he got tackled by a fan, would the NFL had given HIM $10,000? Just a question.

Is the reporter drunk? How can it be troublesome incident if the guy was throwing snowballs for fun?

Seattle should be trying to ID these fans and revoke their tickets.

That is completely recockulous! Almost as recockulous as Wes Welker's snow angel penalty. The NFL really sucks sometimes.
