The NFL issued a $14,000 fine to the New Orleans Saints quarterback for grabbing his crotch during a Michael Jackson-themed touchdown celebration in last weekend’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, according to a report from Pro Football Talk. Carr said after the game that he had been waiting to impersonate Jackson following a conversation with his brothers. "I was a dancer in my day," Carr said.
"Don’t let the 4 kids rule you. I had to lure their mom in somehow. "They see me all the time at weddings or birthdays,” he said.
“I'm always dancing. One time I hit the Michael Jackson, and they were like, 'Bro, you've got to do that one time when you score a touchdown.'" Carr was not penalized on the field for the celebration, but the league handed down the fine notice days later.
