The NFL Gives Thanks For These Contributions: Fine Blotter

  • Dallas Cowboys:  Rolando McClain has been thrown out of the league for his FOURTH drug offense in a year and a half.  He's probably now, if he ever plays again (and the Cowboys do not expect this), looking at 2019 before he can play again, and that's if he stays straight.
  • Buffalo Bills:  Seantrel Henderson is done until mid-next-season, as he's also gotten his second strike of the season for drugs and will sit 10 games.
  • At least five players have received multiple drug strikes since the Super Bowl.
And now to the regular weekly bullshitfest:
  • Pittsburgh Steelers:  Antonio Brown, for at least the THIRD TIME THIS SEASON (and FOURTH in about a year), fined for a touchdown celebration.  $24,309 for him..  He is now a FOUR-TIME LOSER (just this season) with almost $64,000 in fines this year (at least as of current count, $15,000 or so more than the rest of the team combined and more than half the number necessary to get the team fined another $50,000 for accumulation).
  • Pittsburgh Steelers:  And $12,154 for Le'Veon Bell for the same event. 
  • Green Bay Packers:  Julius Peppers:  $9,115 for a facemask.
  • And the Green Bay Packers become the third team to be fined $50,000 under the Club Remittance Policy for over $121,000 in accumulated fines.  They hit the number of $121,540 exactly with the Peppers fine.  That is the seventh game the Packers have had at least one fine.
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  Eric Berry:  $24,309 for a helmet hit.
  • Houston Texans:  Kareem Jackson:  Same fine, same offense.
  • Carolina Panthers:  Derek Anderson:  $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct on the sideline.  He was the backup quarterback and may have been ejected for disrespect of an official.
  • Carolina Panthers:  A.J. Klein:  $9,115 for a facemask.
  • Cleveland Browns:  Corey Coleman:  $9,115 for an offensive facemask.

  1. What proof is there these fines really come out of their paychecks?
    I don't think the fines are real.
    Afterall, the NFL is riigged = NFL is TV show= players are actors = players paid for acting performance.
