FLOWERY BRANCH - Four Atlanta Falcons have been fined $5,000 each for their ``Pass the Magic'' celebratory dances December 1 against the Vikings.<br>
<br>
Linebacker Keith Brooking and cornerbacks Ray Buchanan, Ashley Ambrose and Juran Bolden received letters from the NFL Wednesday about what it called their ``prolonged, excessive and premeditated celebration'' in the 30-24 overtime victory.<br>
<br>
The dance has become a staple this season. Defenders squat and wiggle fingers at each other after big plays. Brooking says he is surprised by the fine because there had been no warning.
