Chiefs' Eric Fisher Fined for Dumping Beer on Himself During TD Celebration vs Texans in Weak Move by NFL
By Karl Rasmussen
Left tackle Eric Fisher had an extremely memorable moment during the Kansas City Chiefs' comeback victory against the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs last Sunday.
While celebrating one of the team's several touchdowns, Fisher was seen snagging beers from a couple of Chiefs fans in the front row at Arrowhead, and proceeded to dump the drinks all over himself, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Well, that's not the only punishment his antics led to, as Fisher was fined $14,037 by the NFL on Saturday.

It turns out, those were two extremely expensive beers, coming in at over $7,000 a pop. Probably not what Fisher had in mind during the celebration.
Don't be surprised if Chiefs fans rally together and start a GoFundMe to pay off the fine for the offensive lineman, whose exploits in the end zone have since gone viral.

Not to mention, the fans who sacrificed their beers and allowed this celebration to take place were handsomely rewarded by Budweiser and Bud Light, and even got to meet Fisher in person.
Their beers were a small price to pay to be a part of that awesome moment, but Fisher can't say the same right now.
