Seahawks cornerback Justin Coleman heard from all kinds of family and friends this week after his drop-in-the-bucket heard round the NFL — his pick-six against Dallas and subsequent celebratory leap into the Salvation Army kettle outside the end zone.

“Some of my friends were telling me ‘you’re a fool, crazy, silly,’’’ Coleman said Friday. “But that’s just my personality. I just wanted to get my teammates energized and excited so that was just something, a little extra.’’

Who Coleman didn’t hear from is the NFL.

Considering what the league finds as finable offenses it seemed maybe a given that Coleman would lose a little money for the act considering he got a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct — a first offense can merit a fine of $12,154.
