Josh Norman Plans Beer-Themed Celebration That NFL Probably Won’t Like
Josh Norman is putting away his bow and arrow in favor of some suds. The Redskins cornerback, who was penalized and fined for pretending to shoot a bow and arrow in Washington’s Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns, revealed Thursday that he’s planning to unveil a new beer-themed celebration this Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. “Since they sell beer on TV while kids are watching it, I’m thinking I might open a keg on the field, and I’m going to drink it on the field,” Norman told USA TODAY Sports. “And I don’t see that being on the rule book.” Norman is talking about a pretend keg, of course,

Jose Fernandez’s Recent Message To Fan Is Haunting After Tragic Death
Share this: Jose Fernandez, by all accounts, was as vibrant a personality off the field as he was on the mound. But for all his fame and bubbling stardom, he never took himself too seriously. That wasn’t any more evident than in the message he recently gave a Miami Marlins fan just days before the 24-year-old All-Star ace of the Miami Marlins was tragically killed in a boat crash around 3 a.m. Sunday morning. The photo comes from arguably the most famous Marlins fan there is, the Marlins Man. “Let’s never take ourselves too seriously,” Fernandez told Marlins Man last week, according to the caption on the photo, “it could all end tomorrow.” He also tweeted this just over a year ago.
