Armstrong fined for cheering on Redskins

DALLAS (AP) - Mavericks guard Darrell Armstrong was so happy his beloved Washington Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys that he grabbed a microphone before Sunday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and hollered, "How 'bout those Redskins!"

It's going to cost him $1,000.

Dallas coach Avery Johnson announced the fine during his postgame news conference and team owner Mark Cuban later verified it was legit, much to the chagrin of a disbelieving Armstrong. The money will all go to charity, with Johnson saying the Cowboys would decide the recipient.

The Redskins wrapped up a 35-7 victory over the Cowboys shortly before the Mavericks left the locker room to play the Timberwolves.

As part of the pregame ceremonies, guard Devin Harris wished the crowd a happy holiday. Then Armstrong, who wasn't scheduled to speak, asked for the microphone. He added his holiday wishes, then made his fine-inducing proclamation, a twist on a famous line by former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.

A mixture of laughter and boos followed, even from German import Dirk Nowitzki. Cuban laughed, too, and joked with Armstrong about it when he returned to the bench.

Trade Jared Jeffries for him. :)

Only thing that pissed me off about the Stewart being there is the fact he gets those tickets for free for being part of Gibbs Racing...

[GibbsRules!]

I caught that clip on Sportscenter last night. Classic!

How 'bout those Redskins! HA!

BTW, I wouldn't mind seeing the Wiz trade Jeffries for Armstrong. ;)

[LuvSkins17]

Can't you just feel the magic.....

[smoak]

Wow, you aren't kidding! He seriously did just become my favorite bball player!

[MONK_in_HOF]

I just saw the highlight on comcast. So awesome. The crowd booed him.

Ahhh I could watch sportscenter all day today.

[LATrueRedskin]

I'd love to see a clip too. I love Darrell Armstrong.

As lonmg as we win Gibbs could invite Pol pot Hitler and Stalin to be on the sideline....better yet on the opposing player's sideline.

[chrisbcbu]

Yea i saw that last night as well. That was some good stuff!!

[PennSkinsFan]

I may have to buy his jersey

[SkinsASchamps]

so funny. the crowds reaction was great cause they were all like "what he say?" and then the boos came in so fast. he ran away laughing. That was so cool.

[CNYSkinFan]

I may have to buy his jersey

I would wait until after he is traded in the off season, you can't insult your fan base in your hometown like that. Who does he think he is Randy Moss?

[MoeRedskins]

i love the fact the cowboys get to pick the charity the money goes too.

[RedskinsDave]

Merged. Use the search feature for something like this.

[Spence]

Good work, Dave.

[Kanman21]

I wish the people of Dallas had a better sense of humor. I'm quite sure it was all in good fun and Cuban even laughed about after he did it. Probably some Cowboy official went crying to the Mavs and they went ahead and fined him.

Sounds a little like the 'Boys are sore losers.

[28thegreat]

Took me a minute but I just got this...Armstrong plays for the DALLAS Mavericks and before last nights game he did this. He is sooo my hero. This is about the greatest thing I've heard. Stupid fine, but I bet he pays it gladly!

[becky]

That was unbelievably hilarious, he is my hero! If you saw the clip he was grinning and looked like whatever they fined him would be all worth it.

[CNYSkinFan]

Yeah but just think if a Washington Wizard player yelled how about the Cowboys at a home game after the Redskins got clobbered. We would rightly be calling for blood. I love that he did it but the fine is deserved. And I do think he will be gone somehow in the off season because of it.

I really wouldn't care... I would hate the player like I hate any dallass fan... but other than that wouldn't care. Maybe b/c I am not a 'Zards fan?

Heck, I'd chip in $10! :D

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

Heck, I'd chip in $10! :D
lol, seriously, we should all send him a buck to show our appreciation! :D

[bantu]

What is the official reason for fining him?? I mean can they actually fine a guy for cheering on a Football team during an NBA pregame holiday wish speech??

he'll still be there...Avery Johnson loves the energy he brings on the court and he's made A LOT of big shots for the Mavs late in the season and in the playoffs.

Dan Snyder should pay that fine.

Definatley see the point. I still think that because Cuban was laughing right along with him when he said it, that the fine came from somebody crying to the Mavs about it all. Nonetheless, it was still funny and if he needs help paying the fine, I'll chip in a 5 spot

I think DANNY BOY ought to pay the fine for his biggest basketball fan.

[skinsfan811]

I do think the fine was deserved, but I thought it was absolutely HISTERICAL when I saw it on ESPN!!!Long live Darrel Armstrong!:lol1:

[IMALILTEAPOT]

that was simply beautiful. Trade jeffires for armstrong now!

Just to point out my reasoning for this take a look at this thread in the Wizards forum on this board:

Man the Armstrong quote deep in the bowels of Dallas was great....absolutely great. All of a sudden, all is right in the world.

You know...he would look good in wizards White........:rolleyes:

[GWBlitzST]

It says Dallas is going to decide where the money goes. Maybe they can donate it to help send Michael Irvin's "brother/cousin" to rehab.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

i think that quote might of put this rivalry officially to where it should be. its not only big between the two cities, but its really getting attention everywhere. i think it goes like this: 1. red sox-yankees 2. cowboys redskins

[HanburgerBum]

Dan Snyder should pay that fine.


Not only should Dan Snyder pay the fine, but he should sent his jet to pick up Armstrong for the Giants game.
