"The NFL slapped Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson with a $10,000 fine for pretending to shoot himself in the right leg after scoring a touchdown in Sunday's game against the Jets, according to a source.

Johnson drew a 15-yard penalty for the second-quarter celebration in which he mocked Jets receiver Plaxico Burress, who went to prison after accidentally shooting himself in a Manhattan night club three years ago.

"He can pay for it," Burress said yesterday when told of the fine. "He can afford it."

Johnson did not comment on the fine to reporters in Buffalo but said he had received a Federal Express envelope from the league."
