Week 4 Fine Blotter Part Three: Beckham and others.

• New York Giants:  Odell Beckham Jr.'s fine for taunting, etc.?  $24,309.
• Carolina Panthers:  Cam Newton:  $9,115 for taunting. 
• Cleveland Browns:  Terrelle Pryor:  $9,115 for, you guessed it, illegal touchdown celebration.  The LeBron James chalk toss is 15 and a fine too.
• New York Jets:  Brian Winters:  $24,309:  Unnecessary Roughness
• Seattle Seahawks:  Cassius Marsh:  $18,231:  Unnecessary Roughness.  All three in that game were for blows to the head.
• Buffalo Bills:  Robert Blanton:  $21,000
• Buffalo Bills:  Nicoll Robey-Coleman:  $10,000
• Buffalo Bills:   Aaron Williams:  $10,000.  Those three fines were for the pre-game skirmish when they went after the quarterback of the Patriots.  No Patriots were fined for the response.

PS:  I do agree with Antonio Brown on one thing on all this:  Celebration fouls should not be fined as much as dirty hits.  That said, the level of "point of emphasis" on all of this is getting big.

And the marriage between the NFL and Twitter may be about to end.  Some cite lagging ratings for this, but teams will be fined from $25,000 to $100,000 for "unauthorized highlights".  Some believe this is a league ploy to get people back in front of the TV sets, with ratings down double-digit percent.
