Sometimes, the NFL's not even fun to watch anymore.

You can't play with emotion, you can't celebrate, you can't hit harder than is allowed in two-hand-touch football on the playground, and you sure as shit can't have fun.

How soon before they outlaw high-fives?

(AJ's run was still sick as hell, though!)

I knew he was getting fined the moment he did it, as it is illegal.

And for good reason.  Pasted from PFT:

Under NFL rules, handing the ball to a fan is permitted, and players do that every Sunday without getting fined. But the NFL worries that throwing the ball into the stands could be a fan safety issue: Fans may run into each other while trying to catch the ball, start fighting over the ball, or even fall over a railing while reaching for a ball.
