NFL: Towel waving costs Cowboys' Owens $10,000

Sunday night at Philadelphia, Owens waved a personalized towel on the sideline that was picked up by television cameras.
Owens has said the league just doesn't know how to relax and sometimes takes the fun out of the game.
"It's stuff like that," Owens said. "People try to make a big deal out of it. It's not any different than Chad (Johnson) going to the sidelines and taking (out) a coat. All I had was a little towel, and now they want to make that into a big deal."
Earlier this season, Johnson was fined $10,000 for wearing a specialized blazer on the sidelines that read "Future H.O.F. 20??"
On the field, Owens is on pace to catch 88 passes for 1,460 yards and 12 touchdowns. Owens is tied for fifth in receiving yards in the NFL with 730 yards.
"Every game I feel like I'm able to take over games," Owens said.
