2026 Week Six Fine Blotter

Wow, so we can start the bidding at over $900,000 already.

During the week:

• Buffalo:  Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, 1 game suspension for spitting, appeal lost.  Officially lost about $100,000 -- another million down the tubes for playing time incentives he now will not reach.
• Buffalo:  Sam Franklin, 1 game suspension for spitting announced, appeal WON.  $14,926 fine instead.
• Philadelphia:  Coach Nick Sirianni, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.
• New England:  Coach Mike Vrabel, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.
• New York Jets:  Aaron Glenn, a suspended $250,000 fine for referee abuse.

And now for the Saturday announcements:

Taunting:

• Carolina got THREE separate incidents on three separate plays:  Will Lee:  $6,377
• Carolina:  Tommy Tremble:  $11,941
• Carolina:  Zakee Wheatley:  $5,626
• Green Bay:  Matthew Golden flexed his way to $11,914.

A third quarter incident got two Saints for Violent Gesture:

• New Orleans:  Christen Miller, $11,915
• New Orleans:  Chase Young, $14,926

And for removing his helmet, an unsportsmanlike conduct act:

• Jacksonville:  Travis Hunter, $14,926

Leg Whip:

• Arizona:  Tegan Quitoriano, $6,750

Roughing the Kicker:

• Chicago:  Jahdae Walker, $5,620

Which leads us into the Helmet Fouls, and we now get our official answer on whether they are strikes or not -- THEY ARE NOT, as you'll see in a separate designation:

• Chicago:  Where we see Jahdae Walker again, another $5,620 for a separate incident.  Makes $55,833 a game, so that dinged him about 20% of his paycheck.   
• Denver:  Alex Singleton, $23,882  He is now a THREE-TIME LOSER.  A late hit and a Defenseless Player strike.
• Seattle:  Mike Morris, $6,808
• One I will mention separately at the end, as stated above...
• Seattle:  Ty Okada, $6,361

Which leads into a tripping fine for...

• Seattle:  Ty Okada, $6,361  Makes a bit over $63,000 in a week -- that's about 20% of his check gone to misconduct.

Striking, etc.:

• Cleveland:  Luke Wypler, $6,611
• Kansas City:  Christian Roland-Wallace, $5,981

Late Hit:

• Kansas City:  L'Jarius Sneed, $6,750
• Dallas:  Tyler Booker, $11,941
• LA Chargers:  Alex Harkey, $5,277

Facemask:

• Washington:  Chris Paul, $11,941

Roughing the Passer:

• New England:  Dre'mont Jones, $17,911, knees or below.
• New Orleans, their THIRD of the week:  Vernon Broughton, $8,381, blow to the head.

And, last certainly not least, except for one player I want to mention at the end, the Points of Emphasis:

• Arizona:  Eku Leota, $6,361, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Atlanta:  Chris Blair, $5,972, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Carolina, their FOURTH of the week:  Feleipe Franks, $6,750, blindside block.  His first strike.  
• New York Giants:  Thomas Fidone, $5,791, blindside block.  His first strike.
• Pittsburgh: Patrick Queen, $17,911, defenseless player foul.  His first strike.

And then the one I would leave to the end.  The biggest loser of the week, over $65,000, and would someone in the NFL explain to me why this player is not suspended, PLEASE:

• San Francisco:  Fred Warner, $17,911 for defenseless player.  
• San Francisco:  And $47,762 for his second helmet foul of the year.

So not only does he now have a league meeting he had to have this week, as that is STRIKE TWO.

Not only does he have two helmet fouls on top of it...

But he's the league's first FOUR-TIME LOSER this year.

That's TWO GAMES, at least!  Four major Player Safety fouls in six weeks.

Well, the only thing you got wrong, NFL, was 27-21...

But someone caught this last night.  Note the timestamp.  The claim matches up pretty good...

There’s 6 minutes on the clock btw #NFL #rigged #pats #bears https://t.co/oWC595ZHRs

And FOOBAW MAN strikes yet again...

Jamal Wallace needs to be arrested.

He has been thrown off the Utah football team for rape and revenge porn.

This story is absolutely WILD 😳 https://t.co/QWv8aO9eZu

When are we going to realize this IS FOOBAW MAN?

PS:  About $105,000.

And we have our answer with Coach Smith...

Desert Ridge High School in Arizona needs a new football coach.

Miles Smith resigned recently, and I have to wonder if he basically up and told the school district they have no business fielding a football team anymore...

Ohhhh... Shit. This would explain it!

I was wondering, yesterday, as the news came out regarding the firing of former Tennessee Titan Jordan Elliott, what could cause Elliott to be fired out of an $8 million contract for an "incident" at the team facilities.

Try the classic "I'm pissed off with you and I'm going to get my gun!" situation.

Elliott was stopped at his car from getting his firearm to take care of a situation with a Titans teammate!

And coach Robert Saleh is saying this morning it's NOT a criminal act?  This may cost Saleh his job too!

FURTHER Week Six Supplemental Discipline Blotter Against The Bills

Could we be looking at a de-push here?

It's bad enough about Gardner-Johnson getting suspended, but word this morning that the league has also suspended special-teams captain Sam Franklin Jr. for the same spitting offense, this one late in the game.

This is also multiple league sanctions this year, including, like Gardner-Johnson, a strike against the Points of Emphasis, his for a blindside block.

The Bills have their bye week this week.  The suspensions will be served in a home game against Baltimore November 1.  Pre-week odds on Draft Kings have Baltimore a 2.5 point underdog.

Unsolicited advice?  Nom.

After Further Review: Jake the Awake, Week 6

Here we go again.  And, remember, Jake does NOT cover the officiating.  That's where his emphasis and mine greatly differ, even though it does largely come from the same "professional wrestling" motif.

Overlay:  Chargers-Chiefs, and Mahomes running for his life.  Throwing into the endzone into triple coverage for the pick.  Of course, what was happening probably would've been called intentional grounding otherwise against any normal quarterback.

10) Jaguars-Texans in London.  7-0 halfway through the second for Houston.

Two whiffs and a probable block in the back -- touchdown, Jacksonville, the first of two for Bhayshul Tuten.

9) Same game.  Next drive, game is 7-7.

Houston pass, receiver shakes off the first defender, and then the imaginary flag-football hits for Jake again this week.  Double-whiff by #4 AND #51, the former looked like he was going after a flag instead of a tackle.  Gain of 33.  Sets up a Houston field goal.

8) Bills-Raiders.  Buffalo with the ball inside the Raider 15 after a Las Vegas turnover.  16-13 Buffalo, past the midpoint of the 3rd.

Josh Allen, with a clean pocket, decides to unclean the pocket, rush up near the line, flip the ball, and Keon Coleman is five yards wide open in the end zone (with the two closest players being other Bills receivers) for the touchdown.

Remember, Josh Allen is being pimped right now for MVP of the league.

7) Saints-Giants in New York.  Saints ball inside the Giants 5, 10-3 Giants (but not for long), last play of the second quarter.

And Jake makes the very "professional wrestling" statement I inferred above (before I got to this part of the video).  And he infers that, same vein as putting "professional" in front of "wrestling" makes it fake, the same thing with American football.

Two Giants defenders are immediately identified.  They can't figure out who is covering Bryce Lance, he slips right through the pair, wide open in the end zone, and it's 10-10 going into the half.

6) Rams-Cardinals.   15-9 Arizona, about 8 1/2 minutes to go in the game.

Two plays here.  First one, a non-contact fumble by Matthew Stafford which appears to be a turnover, but the Cardinals can't convert it, as the ball goes back to Stafford.

Second down:  Completion to the tight end -- HE gets the ball taken out of his hands for a fumble, and this time, three Cardinals are nearby for the turnover.  (After the guy who picked it up fumbled it himself -- out of bounds.)

Jake believes it's all scripted.

5) Speaking of professional wrestling, Jake uses a particular pro wrestler for this segment every week.  It's Return of the Doink!!!  Three more this week for 14 for the year -- in SIX WEEKS.

1.  Carolina-Philly.  First Carolina drive ends in a field goal attempt from 47.  Carolina's kick from Fitzgerald glances off the right upright -- but Jake almost missed it in his count.  Not only did it glance off the right upright, it went through for the successful field goal afterward!  3-0 Carolina.

2.  49ers-Commanders Monday night -- and Jake notes another problem with his count.  This one wasn't in the highlights.  So he couldn't find it or include it.  And whatever it was, it was made, so no way to tell where it was.  The viewers pointed it out to Jake.

But I found it pretty quickly (an extra point to pull Washington to 23-10 near the end of the third quarter):

🚨 WE HAVE A DOINK IN SAN FRANCISCO 🚨 Drew Stevens PAT is GOOD off the doink #NFL #Commanders #RaiseHail #49ers #FTTB #WASvsSF https://t.co/FdEwQL4IIL

3.  Seattle-Denver, Thursday night.  14-3 Denver, 8 1/2 to go in the third.

And a Myers 47-yard attempt finds the right upright.  The kick looks straight and true to go through, then doesn't even kink to the right, it just gets there.

HIT HIS MUSIC!!!

4) Cowboys-Packers Sunday night, and it's another apparent scripted Dak Prescott interception, Jake believes his second of the night, and even worse than the first!  So this one makes the list.  10-0 Green Bay, Dallas has the ball inside the Packers 30, first play after the 2:00 warning.

Ceedee Lamb falls down about to make the cut -- no contact.  And Prescott is believed to throw another scripted interception on back-to-back drives in the second quarter.  Long (and quick) TD drive later, it's 17-0 going into the half.

Jake goes after the fanboys again, the "slipped and fell" argument.  Frame by frame:  Lamb didn't slip.

3) Here's the one he previewed with.  Chiefs-Chargers, ball inside the Chargers 5 after a Chargers interception.  9-3 Kansas City, nearly halfway through the second quarter.  See above.

And, of course, with Mrs. Kelce in the stadium, the target was Mr. Kelce, but three Chargers had him pegged.

2) Back to Saints-Giants, Extra Phony Rigaroni With A Side of Baloney.  10-10, first drive of the second half, 2nd and 8 for the Saints, Giants 31.

Flare pass out to Alvin Kamara.  Two missed tackles, a failed punch-out, and Kamara gets all the yards after catch for 17-10.

1) Chicago-Atlanta, and a punt takes the honors.  14-7 Chicago, 2:00 warning first half.

And it's Take Me Down To Muff Punt City for the top honors this week.

Chicago punts, Jake mixes his metaphors ("Axl" doing "Muff Punt City" this week like "Welcome to the Jungle" rather than "Paradise City" at first, then he breaks out "Paradise City".)

Muffed at the 9 by Zachariah Branch (one of two fumbles lost on the day!) -- with no business even trying to catch it that badly misjudged.  Picked up by Chicago, score it!  Except he can't advance it, so it takes three more plays to get the touchdown.
