It's (almost) Fine Friday -- start with a big story first:
- Cincinnati Bengals: Reduce the number of NFL suspensions for on-the-field for the season to eight. George Iloka won his appeal to play this week, and was then immediately fined $35,464 for the hit.
- Kansas City Chiefs: The one-game team suspension didn't count against the number, but the $24,309 fine for Marcus Peters did. Unsportsmanlike conduct was the ruling. That makes Peters a THREE-TIME LOSER with the league - meaning there's a better chance the suspension was quite justified.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Daniel Sorensen: $18,231 for roughing the passer. And that's THREE-TIME LOSER for Sorensen as well.
- ... and, to no one's surprise, that's a $50,000 fine to the Chiefs. They just hit the first threshold. And Peters and Sorensen alone are two-thirds of that amount.
- Indianapolis Colts: Darius Butler: $18,231 for a horse-collar tackle.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Jack: $9,115 for a face mask.
- Cleveland Browns: Shon Coleman should've been ejected from last week's game. He was fined $30,387 for pushing an official to the ground. Personally, I think the fine is stupid: It happened while the ball was loose.
- And I wouldn't believe it if I didn't check it. The Cleveland Browns have won no games this year. And they still have made the first fine threshold -- $50,000 from them.
- The Browns become the TENTH TEAM to receive a team fine for excessive dirty play on the field. We still have four weeks to go.
And another for the Personal Conduct Suspension Blotter"
- New Orleans Saints: David Parry suspended the final four games of the year (more that he forfeits the game checks -- he's been on IR for some time) for an arrest while with the Colts on a variety of charges from robbery and auto theft to DUI.
More to come, unless this week was like Week 4 and last week, where the league probably swept a number of things under the rug.
