Carson Palmer: pelvic thrust wasn’t directed at Seahawks fans

Carson Palmer of the Arizona Cardinals set social media on fire last Sunday at the end of the game against the Seattle Seahawks by excitedly doing a pelvic thrust in celebration of the game-winning score. However, the quarterback now claims that celebratory gesture wasn’t a dig at Seahawks fans, but rather it was in response to friends of his in the stands.

Palmer spoke with the folks at ESPN and said his three friends, whom he named “Pup, Phil and Sugar Cane,” were to blame for his rather uncharacteristic moves.

“I had my buddies in the sideline, right four or five rows up,” Palmer said.
