NFL wife fires back at league over ridiculous 15k fine, Presidents Cup has no juice & CBS's Melanie Collins!
'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.
Final Friday of September. It's true. I had to double-check it, but it's true.
We're six days away from October. Goodness. Weren't we just grilling burgers on Labor Day Monday? What happened here? Wild stuff.
The good news? October is, objectively speaking, the best month of the entire year. It's really not even close. MLB playoffs. Football in full swing. Hockey starts back up. Still no NBA.
The best. It's what I hope heaven is like.
On that note, welcome to a Friday Nightcaps — the one where Kristin Juszczyk teams up with her 49ers husband, Kyle, to send a stern message to Roger Goodell and the No Fun League (NFL).
NFL FINES PLAYER NICKNAMED 'JUICE' $14,926 FOR USING A DRINKING CELEBRATION, CALLING IT OFFENSIVE
What a stunt they pulled earlier this week. They have absolutely no shame. You'll see.
What else should we hit on today before we leave early because it's a Football Friday and there are five (!!!) college football games today?
I've got NFL on CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins checking in before Week 3, Al Michaels didn't have the greatest night in the booth last night, and Wyndham Clark wasn't a fan of the ... fans ... at the Presidents Cup in Thursday's opening round.
I don't blame him, by the way. But also, this event ain't exactly the Ryder Cup. Never has been, and never will be. There's just no juice in it.
OK, grab you ... some juice! ... and settle in for a Friday 'Cap:
We ended yesterday's class with the dumbest story in the NFL ... maybe ever? For those who missed it, Roger Goodell's Fun Police fined 49ers FB Kyle Juszczyk a whopping $14,926 for celebrating a touchdown by giving the universal symbol of taking a drink.
The league took it as Juszczyk "chugging a beer," according to the letter sent to Juszczyk. That violates Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which, frankly, sounds like the dumbest rule of all time.
Anyway, the Niners star has been doing that celebration for years, and it has nothing to do with beer. He barely drinks beer. Instead, it's an homage to his nickname — "Juice."
By the way, as OutKick's Armando Salguero noted, Juszczyk scored the tuddy, did his VERY BAD celebration, and then the first commercial that appeared when FOX went to break?
A Michelob Ultra ad.
Amazing.
We all caught up now? Good! Now, let's check in with Kyle's wife, Kristin, who had her husband join her for an Instagram message to the league:
"Kyles got a drinking problem," the caption says, followed by the little nod to the league with the text in the video that reads, "$14,926 glass of juice."
Amazing. It really is a ridiculous fine by the league, and my bar for Goodell is already so low. The NFL has been the No Fun League for decades now. You can't celebrate. You can't taunt. You can't hit the QB. You can't touch the receiver. God forbid you jump on the goal posts after you score a touchdown.
