Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk(notes) made an obscene gesture after sacking Sam Bradford(notes) during Sunday's game at Lambeau Field.
Hawk tackled Bradford, looked toward his own sideline, made eye contact, pointed and then casually raised his middle finger. It was up for nearly two seconds before Hawk put it down. The gesture was caught by Fox television cameras but was ignored by the announcing crew. Officials also missed the crude insult. The NFL surely won't and Hawk can expect a hefty fine from the league office early this week.
Hawk did have reason to celebrate. The sack was his first solo one in nearly two years. Plus, can you really blame a guy named Hawk for flipping a bird?
