NFL FInes Seattle WR Chris Mathews for Shaking Marshawn Lynch's Hand After Touchdown

The No Fun League struck again on Thursday when it decided to ding Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Chris Mathews for celbrating with running back Marshawn Lynch after the pivotal touchdown in Sunday's NFC Championship game. Funny thing is he didn't really do anything, but the league hit him with a $11,025 fine anyway.

You can't see him in the GIF, but from watching the game I can say that several guys wanted to celebrate with Lynch after the run and all they did was shake hands.

So basically Mathews was fined for shaking Lynch's hand. Lynch for one is not happy about it:

I feel embarrassed to work for a particular organization that fined a teammate of mine for shaking my hand after a touchdown

Most of the stuff guys are fined for doing is ridiculous, but this is by far one of the worst. Hopefully the league gets it right on his appeal.
