The NFL has fined Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown for the way he celebrated his five-yard touchdown run in Sunday’s win over the Chargers. Brown wouldn’t say how much the fine was for, but he did say he learned his lesson. “Too much,” Brown said of the fine. “Enough to keep me from doing it again.” Fines for celebrations in the NFL have ranged from $5,000, which three Steelers got in 2006, to $30,000, which Joe Horn got for his famous cell phone stunt in 2003. Per the Sun-Sentinel, Brown celebrated by doing the Cupid Shuffle with offensive linemen Vernon Carey and Ikechuku Ndukwe. League rules allow individuals to celebrate spontaneously but bar players from engaging in scripted group celebrations. Brown acknowledged that he and the offensive line practiced the dance last week. UPDATE: The Miami Herald reports that Brown, Carey and Ndukwe were fined $10,000 apiece.
