Good for Chan.

Of course he did. Check out Chris Brown's blog...I bet this pissed Gailey off too....

Stevie Johnson apparently had a TD celebration plan for today’s game, but wasn’t sure he’d go through with it if he scores against the Patriots. Apparently his young son has given him the go ahead.
His young boy Mani, who apparently has a twitter account of his own, told him via twitter that his wife is ok with the planned celebration even if he gets fined. Here’s Stevie’s tweet back to his son after getting the thumbs up.
StevieJohnson13K Love U “@ManiBoy13: Daddy if you score do wut u told me u were going to do ok? Mommy said its ok if they fine you, jus dnt 4get her M&Ms!”

As for the flag...it was only a penalty this time because Stevie had a couple players around him trying to help him lift his jersey to show the shirt.

Ralph shoulda warned Gailey if you lose 9 out of the last 10 you're FIRED instead.

It's hard to hold respect for a doosh who refuses to hire an NFL level coaching staff and refuses to run an NFL based offense when you're *gasp* allegedly an NFL head coach.

Wow. I doubt the resign him now. He is really one dumb mfer

Re: Coach Gailey warned the team they would be benched for celebrations

Oh good...Stevie's taking career advice from his kid instead of paying attention to his head coach.

I don't give a **** about his baby-momma's M&M's...get a clue or get a ticket out of town...his call.

Re: Coach Gailey warned the team they would be benched for celebrations

I like Chan Gailey more now, than I did before this game.

Grow up or go away Stevie, you are a moron.

Re: Coach Gailey warned the team they would be benched for celebrations

Glad Chan's sticking to his meaningless edicts instead of devoting his time to winning games... oh, wait.

I doubt Chan has the authority to hire/fire anyone. Im sure that is handled by book keeping

FINE!

But he does have the authority to run an NFL based offense.

I agree with gameboy

Re: Coach Gailey warned the team they would be benched for celebrations

No matter what the entire true story is (regardless of what any potential lying quote says) The whole situation is just pathetic and makes the Bills look like even more of a joke.

If Gailey and Stevie's comments are thruthful, then I wonder if Stevie did it on purpose so he wouldn't get hurt before his big contract.

Also, I wonder if any of the supposed team "leaders" were aware of his childish "put me on sportscenter" antics beforehand, and didn't call him out.

What a clown. Seriously, how can anyone support Stevie's actions over Chan's, short of a bigger bills team conspiracy to give them a better shot at a higher draft pick....
