ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills tackle Spencer Brown is paying the price for taking a sip of beer. 

Brown took a sip of a fan's Bud Light after wide receiver Stefon Diggs scored a touchdown in last Sunday's game against the Panthers. The NFL fined Brown $5,000, citing his use of the beer as a prop.

Brown seemed to take it lightly, saying in a tweet that it was the most expensive Bud Light of his life.

The fan whose beer was drunk in this case, Richard Donohue of Batavia, got that beer back and more after Diggs and Brown located him on social media and sent him several 30-packs.

Predictably, Bills fans have watched this entire ordeal play out and are now donating money to Brown's charity of choice, Mission 22, which offers treatment for returning veterans.
