Johnny Manziel got fined 12k for flipping the bird and Antonio Brown gets fined 8,200 for kicking a punter in the face. Yup.

No clue....but is it based on a % of what they make? (I have no idea of what either make)

Both way too low. Manziel should've been about $25,000 and I'd just have to hear how dumb Brown is...minimum $50,000

Brown signed a 5 yr $42 million contract. He's making $9mil this season. Manziel is making $1.5mil

Thanks....figured Brown made good cash but wasn't positive. I really pay little attention to stuff not on the field.

Keith Wenning. Played QB at Coldwater and then set many records at Ball State. Balt drafted him. Everyone pretty much expected him to be on the practice squad as Balt usually keeps just 2 QB's. The thinking is Taylor will leave after this season via FA and he may get his shot to backup next year.

Adam Schefter reporting a new deal is likely to be signed later today, and Josh Gordon's suspension is likely to be reduced to an 8 game suspension.

Mary Kay Cabot reporting league source is saying under the new policy, a 4th violation = 10 games, so she's reporting 10 game suspension for Gordon.

Side note: How is this his 4th violation?! Has the guy even been in the League for 4 years?!?!

Why? Because his actions aren't on video?

Beating his son with a switch. That's old school.

Sounds like he was just disciplining his kid. As a kid who got disciplined physically, I have no problem with him doing it. Unfortunately, someone (most likely his baby momma?) ratted him to the cops.

Surprisingly, she's taking the lead with this and the big names (Schefter, Mort, etc) are confirming after the fact.

I'd heard:

1st offense = 2 game checks (Steeler potheads dodge a bullet-shocker)

2nd offense = 4 game checks

3rd offense = 4 games

4th offense = 10 games (odd number)

It sounds like it caps at that so if you've reached 4 offenses, smoke away....max may be 10 games.

As a side note, Gordon won't be out of the woods at 10 games. He's staring at a DUI trial in November which would tack on 2 more games.

Read the police report before commenting further. AP went wayyy overboard.
