Dominic Raiola Taunts Dolphins Fans After Lions' Victory

Dominic RaiolaIn what is the usual reaction to road teams at NFL games, Detroit Lions' players were treated to a shower of taunts, catcalls and obscenities as they walked off the field and into the tunnel toward the visitors' locker room after beating the Dolphins in Miami.

Unfortunately on Sunday, one Lions player decided to respond.

Lions center Dominic Raiola looked into the stands and shouted to some Dolphins fans, "Suck my (expletive)." He apparently wasn't thinking about the fact that we live in an age when we're under near-constant video surveillance, and sure enough, someone caught the incident on a cell phone camera and posted it on YouTube (Warning: Video contains vulgar language).

Raiola has a long history of being a hothead. Two years ago, the Lions fined him $7,500 for making an obscene gesture toward Lions fans after the team got booed off the field in Detroit following its 13th loss of the season. It's progress for the Lions that now their players are being booed off the field on the road after a victory, but it's a shame that Raiola still hasn't learned to control his emotions.

It should go without saying that another fine is coming for Raiola.
