If Commissioner Goodell is serious about bringing law and order to the NFL, he should start by studying up on these pathetic punishments.
Chad JohnsonThe man famous for over-the-top end zone celebrations delivered one of his best in Cleveland back in 2003. That's where, after hauling in a TD pass, Johnson pulled out a sign he had hidden behind a snowdrift that read: "Dear NFL, please don't fine me anymore." Charming? Sure. Effective? Not at all. The poster board ploy cost Johnson 10 grand.
Shawn JeffersonBefore a game in 2002, Falcons wide receiver Shawn Jefferson couldn't find his white shoes. So, rather than violate a league rule, he covered his black ones with white tape. But that broke a rule, too, and the NFL fined the poor bastard $5,000. The rest of the league laughed and continued to take HGH with no repercussions.

Bill CowherThe former Steelers head coach was right to be pissed when his team was flagged for having 12 guys on the field: An aerial photo showed there were only 11. But he was probably wrong when he stuffed a copy of said photo into a ref's shirt, earning a $7,500 fine. Hey, if you're going to sport a mustache like that, you've got to walk the walk.

Terrell OwensSure T.O. spit in DeAngelo Hall's face, and started a brawl back in his 49ers days when he celebrated a TD in Dallas by sprinting to midfield and posing on the Cowboys' beloved star, but at least the NFL nabbed him to the tune of five grand for not having his jersey tucked in.
Denver BroncosBack in 2003, the Broncos were pumped for a road game against the Chargers. So pumped, in fact, that they didn't realize they weren't supposed to be wearing their white jerseys. That was a no-no, and the team was fined $25,000 and had to let the Chargers pick their jersey color when they visited Denver. To this day it remains the gayest moment in NFL history.
