The NFL has fined Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning $8,268 for taunting, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Thursday.

Manning was fined for his actions in last Saturday's preseason game against the Houston Texans, getting in the face of Houston safety D.J. Swearinger following a 29-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders in the second quarter. Earlier, Swearinger's blow to the helmet of Broncos receiver Wes Welker resulted in a concussion for Welker.

I wonder what he said or did that took it from being an everyday, run-of-the-mill $8000 fine to the magical number of $8,268. Seriously, how the fug does the NFL come up with these numbers anyway?

I think he told the guy "fug you". He has said it was money well spent

I was at the game. It was barely noticeable.

Can't see Welker being around much longer with these concussions. Might as well apply for the settlement early.

Stupid fine, but why do they find people such small amounts. Fine them a game check if you want it to matter to them
