Shaun Ellis Fined For Snowball Incident

After the game, as the Jets' players headed to the tunnel, a pesky fan was shouting remarks about the Jets' team. Several fans threw snowballs at New York players and staff as they walked off the field after the Seahawks' 13-3 victory. Jets DE Shaun Ellis did not tolerate the man, picking up a snowball ( actually it was a giant chunk of snow ) and throwing it at the fan. The fan got hit by the chunk of snow as Ellis passed by. It was announced today that Shaun Ellis would be fined $10,000 for this incident.

"It was all in fun," Ellis said.

"That situation in the stadium in general was not a very safe situation for anybody involved," Mangini said. "That doesn't justify us getting involved in it on the flip side of that. He understands that. We thought that there could've been more done to prevent what was happening in terms of the safety from snowballs coming down."
