NFL officials told Dan Campbell that St. Brown was one pump away from a flag
Sometimes life imitates art. For the Detroit Lions, that apparently happened on Thursday after Amon-Ra St. Brown's first touchdown of the year. St. Brown did a touchdown dance that's very reminiscent of the infamous Key & Peele sketch that features the official counting the amount of pumps that tight end Hingle McCringleberry does after his touchdown.
It turns out that there was some reality to that. On the St. Brown Brothers podcast, Amon-Ra St. Brown had this to say about the celebration.
"I hit it, boom, no flag, I get to the sideline, sit down, celebrate boom. And then my receiver coach (Antwaan Randle-El) is like Hey St., one more time and they said were gonna throw the flag. I'm like it's done now I got it off. Ain't no more pumps. Apparently the ref told our head coach that if he does one more pump, then we'll throw the flag, and then he told our receiver guards and he told me."
You simply cannot make this up. NFL officials are watching the pumps. You might remember last year when Jamaal Williams got flagged and later fined for doing a similar celebration.
As for St. Brown being fined, he says that he has not been yet and doesn't know when the fines come down from the league. What a crazy word this is.
