Why stop there Committe Hacks , slap fines and penalty minutes for clapping, shouting, and expressing yourself on the field too. After all, this is a business, not a sport. We cant have any provoking behavior.

Chris Pika, of <A href="http://www.kffl.com/link/1">AtlantaFalcons.com, reports the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl)'s Competition Committee will propose penalizing players who spike or throw the ball after plays on the field. Touchdowns will not be subject to the proposed five-yard penalty. " This is an issue that has really shown itself in the last two years where it seems like every play -- whether a three-yard gain or a 15-yarder -- results in a player stepping up and spiking the ball," Atlanta Falcons (http://www.kffl.com/team/7/nfl) general manager and committee co-chairman Rich McKay (http://www.kffl.com/player/14510/nfl) said. If a player spiked the ball after gaining a first down, the ball would be moved back five yards but it will still be first-and-10.
