Horn to appeal $30,000 fine for mobile phone stunt

NEW ORLEANS Saints receiver Joe Horn was fined $30,000 by the NFL for making a choreographed mobile phone call in the end zone to celebrate a touchdown.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the amount of the fine. Horn’s agent, Ralph Vitolo, said the player will appeal.

“Fining him is one thing, but to me that’s very excessive. This is not a murder case,” Vitolo said.
