Fine Blotter, Week 11, Part Two: And the third suspension of the week goes to...

An NFL official!!!

• Roy Ellison, suspended for one game for a verbal confrontation with Washington's Trent Williams.  It's understood this probably isn't the first profane statement Ellison has made toward a player, but the league was able to corroborate Williams' story from earlier in the week, hence the suspension.

According to reports:

"Williams said Ellison cussed him out during a Redskins drive late in the first half, an accusation teammates backed. Williams said Ellison walked by him after a play and called him a "garbage-ass, disrespectful m-----f-----.""

(Direct source:  ESPN article.)

It gets uglier.  Racial epithets and further exchanges are alleged, with Williams charged with using a racial slur against Ellison, an 11-year NFL official.  The NFL Referee's Association has filed a grievance.

I'm sorry.  If there's any belief that any player uses that degree of a racial slur (the N-word), it's 15 and a toss and you let the league deal with it.  Sorry, have to agree with this suspension.

Now, on to the rest of the miscreants of the week:

• New England Patriots:  Marcus Cannon, $15,750 for a leg whip.
• In an effective admission that the league fucked up (*cough*and the game was rigged for the Panthers*cough*), Tom Brady was not fined for his profanity to a referee, a standard $20,000 offense.
• Chicago Bears:  Zack Bowman:  $15,750 for a horse-collar tackle.
• Washington Redskins:  E.J. Biggers:  $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet foul.
• Plus another $21,000 for the Level 3 Redskins.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  Gerald McCoy, $15,750 for roughing the passer.  TWO-TIME LOSER, two in three weeks...
• And his second fine doubled by the league to the team for being Level 3.  The Buccaneers now go over the $400,000 mark for the year.
• Jacksonville Jaguars:  Will Blackmon:  $21,000 for an illegal blindside block.
• Tennessee Titans:  Akeem Ayers now a TWO-TIME LOSER.  $7,875 for unnecessary roughness vs. Andrew Luck.  
• And, again, double that fine to the team. (Sensing a pattern yet?)
• San Diego Chargers:  Corey Liuget:  $7,875 for roughing the passer.
• Philadelphia Eagles:  Fletcher Cox:  $7,875
• Cincinnati Bengals:  Domata Peko:  $7,875

That last one was a lot more expensive than that:

• Cincinnati Bengals:  Become at least the sixth team in the NFL to be fined for excessive Player Safety fines.  Team docked $50,000 for entering Level 2.

Updates:

• Indianapolis Colts:  The suspension on Erik Walden for this week stands.  He lost his appeal.
• Green Bay Packers:  A lot of people are going to think I'm playing favorites here, but according to a USA Today article, Clay Matthews' Week 1 fine for the altercation with Colin Kapernick was halved to $7,875 and his $15,750 fine from Week 10?  Abolished, as is his repeat offender for the season status.

So, in the interest of fairness, other successful appeals I've been able to search-engine up:

• New York Jets:  Earlier in the season, two Jets were fined for illegal hits against Jake Locker.  Muhammad Wilkerson got his reversed earlier in the year, and now Quinton Coples, this week, has had the same.  FWIW, Locker didn't think either hit was illegal.

And that's all I can find so far.  Any readers with further information can put it in the comments so I can see them.

With those updates, the currently-known total for the year stands at:  $3,293,050
