This Week's Naughty List

First, I think we can conclude the Giants are either going to get de-pushed or one more incident thereto.

Last night's game had some...  interesting... betting action.

Yesterday afternoon at about 2 Pacific, the game was a 2 point favorite to the Giants.  An hour later, it was a point to Philly.  About an hour to kickoff, it was a point to the Giants.  It kicked a point to Philly.

Think $530,000 or so in fines might have something to do with that?

• Los Angeles Rams:  Aaron Donald, TWICE in the game with the Hags.  $18,231 for a facemask, then $24,309 for the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he picked up afterward for throwing the flag at the official for the facemask.  According to Pro Football Talk, that makes Donald a FIVE-TIME LOSER this season.  An ejection on opening night led to two fines totalling $21,269 and a previously unfound $18,231 for unnecessary roughness in Week 6.  So that's over $80,000 for Donald alone, one of the highest single-player totals in the league and about two-thirds the amount necessary to draw a team fine.
• Los Angeles Rams:  Dominique Easley:  $18,231 for roughing the passer.
• So you basically quit on your new city in Week 15 and you still have the energy for dirty hits and bullshit for over $60,000 in fines...  Well, congratulations, LA, you now have drawn that first $50,000 threshold.  Ninth NFL team to exceed $121,000+ to get that first $50,000 fine.
• Seattle Seahawks:  Cassius Marsh:  $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  Jameis Winston:  $9,115 for a headbutt.  Entering Week 15, the Bucs were the least-fined team in the NFL.

And more found on Saturday:

• Green Bay Packers"  TJ Lang:  $24,309 for a blindside block.
• Green Bay Packers:  Datone Jones:  $9,115 for a facemask, making him a TWO-TIME LOSER.
• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Stephon Tuitt:  $9,115 for a facemask
• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Marcus Gilbert:  $9,115 for unnecessary roughness.
• And please welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to the club.  That's 10 teams at the first $50,000 team fine threshold, and that's just the fines I've been able to find!
• Washington Redskins:  Jordan Reed:  $9,115 for his punch and ejection.

More may be found, but just to review on the four I posted about earlier in the week:

• Elliott was hypocritically not fined for his Salvation Army "donation".
• T.J. Ward was fined only $9,115 for his back suplex.  And nothing for the unsportsmanlike conduct afterward.
• No fine on either Ka'Deem Carey or Thomas of the Packers for the headshot Deadspin caught that jarred Carey's logo off his helmet.
• And Jeremy Hill was not fined for his touchdown celebration, even though it violated BOTH halves of the celebration foul rule reasoning.
