The NFL last week fined Denver’s Von Miller for his pelvic thrusts, and now the league is going after St. Louis receiver Stedman Bailey for using the football as a pillow after scoring a touchdown in Week 4.

Obviously, Bailey was not pleased when he found out he was fined.
According to Fox Sports analyst Mike Pereira, Bailey will pay $8,681 for his nap. NFL rules state players are not allowed to use the ball as a prop, which Chad Johnson found out when he used a pylon to “putt” the football.
Bailey thinks it’s ridiculous. In fact, he’s thinking about starting a crowdfunding effort.
No Go Fund Me page has been set up yet, but rest easy. Bailey’s $600,000 salary this year should be able to cover the fine.
