Week 16, at least two more fines in the NFL, and one is a big one. Also, an NHL fine!

• Houston Texans:  Charles Omenihu:  $28,075 for a blindside block.
• Cleveland Browns (and the team -- AND it's a doubled Repeat Offender):  Sheldon Richardson, $42,115 for Roughing the Passer.
• That puts the Browns over $1,200,000 in onfield fines.

And one from the NHL:


John Tortorella, coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, pretty much explains the whole thing. Rails on the refs after losing his goaltender as a result of having to go to a shootout which appears not to have been necessary.

As a result of that rant...

• Columbus Blue Jackets:  Coach John Tortorella fined $45,000 -- $25,000 of it suspended if he doesn't have another such incident in 2020 -- for criticism of officials.
