    "parsed_content": "Kyle Juszczyk has already appealed a $14,926 fine from the NFL, a league source confirmed, for making what the league said was a beer-chugging gesture after a catch in Sunday\u2019s 49ers-Dolphins game.\u201cYour imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,\u201d the league wrote to Juszczyk in announcing the fine.The veteran fullback, however, has been making his signature gesture for years and hasn\u2019t been fined before. His nickname is \u201cJuice\u201d \u2014 something 49ers fans chant whenever he touches the ball \u2014 and the celebration is meant to imitate someone drinking from a juice box.Inside the 49ers' plan at receiverMatt Barrows\u201cAnd I don\u2019t even drink beer!\u201d he texted ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, who first reported news of the fine.Juszczyk said his appeal hearing is set for Tuesday on Zoom.In the past, Juszczyk\u2019s celebration has included an extended pinky, which made the action seem more dainty and un-beer-like. A recent hand injury, however, has required him to tape the pinky to the rest of his hand, making it impossible to extend it.\n \n \n \n The 14-year fullback was one of the stars of the 49ers\u2019 35-13 win over the Dolphins, finishing with two catches for 27 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown. He also had a pancake block that paved the way for teammate Christian McCaffrey\u2019s third-quarter touchdown plunge.Juszczyk wasn\u2019t alone in chugging fines this week. The league fined Colts right guard Matt Goncalves $8,847 for the same gesture while celebrating after Tyler Warren\u2019s first-quarter touchdown in Week 2, sources confirmed to The Athletic. Goncalves plans to appeal the fine.After Warren scored on a 1-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter of the Colts\u2019 eventual overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, the tight end tossed the ball to Goncalves. The lineman then used the ball to pantomime chugging a beer before spiking it in front of thousands of fans at Arrowhead Stadium.\n Tyler Warren gives his touchdown ball to Matt Goncalves for his celebration.Denny Medley \/ Imagn ImagesGoncalves\u2019 celebration, which lasted just a few seconds, was shown on the \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d broadcast. NBC Sports later reported that the Colts\u2019 matchup with the Chiefs was its most-watched \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d game since 2015, averaging 24.3 million viewers across NBC and Peacock, per Nielsen Big Data.Goncalves is in his third season with the Colts. The 2024 third-round pick has started 26 of the 35 games he\u2019s played. He\u2019s never been in serious trouble on or off the field, with one source calling his recent celebration fine, \u201cridiculous,\u201d and another calling it \u201cstupid,\u201d especially when considering that Bud Light has been the NFL\u2019s official beer sponsor since 2011.\nMatt Barrows|Senior Writer, 49ersFollow Jeff Howe|National NFL Insider Follow James Boyd|Staff Writer, ColtsFollow Sep 25, 2026Connections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern.
