It's Week 13 Fine Friday

Note:  The numbers I have on fines are the ones I've found -- there may be more.  The NFL, after a couple of years of huge numbers of fines making the league look bad, has covered up most fine reports, so I've had to resort to places like Twitter to find them.
  • New York Giants:  Odell Beckham, Jr.:  $12,154 for verbal abuse of an official, saying Stevie Wonder could've seen him getting fouled.  (Except it wasn't for those post-game comments -- it was for similar comments during the game -- the post-game comments could draw another fine.)  That's his FOURTH NFL fine of the year, and his ninth in his third NFL season.  No suspension -- yet.  
  • New York Giants:  Eric Pinkins:  $24,309 for a special teams cheap shot.
  • New York Giants:  Largely, but not exclusively, due to Beckham, the Giants will now be fined as a team dollar-for-dollar for every fine for the rest of the year.  They have reached the final penalty plateau, and you can add another $50,000 to that.  By latest math, the Giants have been fined nearly $300,000 for game misconduct.
  • New York Jets:  Sheldon Richardson,
  • New York Jets:  Buster Skrine, 
  • New York Jets:  and Breno Giacomini:  $9,115 each for personal fouls in the same game.
  • New York Jets:  And that makes them the fourth NFL team to reach the first $50,000 penalty level, $121,540 on the nose.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  Dorial Green-Beckham forgot last week's immunity was only for charity causes.  Since his cleats were simply pimping Kanye West, he DID get fined $6,076.
More probably coming.
