Players from the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons both claimed a pair of second-half fights energized them Sunday in the Falcons' 19-17 win at Bank of America Stadium.
 
The brawls also took a chunk from the paychecks of several players.
 
An NFL spokesman said Friday a total of five players were fined $8,268 apiece for their roles in the fights, which came on successive plays late in the third quarter.
 
Defensive backs Roman Harper and Josh Norman were fined for the Panthers, while Falcons receivers Roddy White, Harry Douglas and Devin Hester were docked, as well.
 
Things started when Harper was penalized for unnecessary roughness for shoving White's helmet into the turf after White's 11-yard catch. White got up and pushed Harper in the head.
 
On the following play, Norman and Douglas went to the ground with each grabbing the other's facemask. Hester dived headfirst at Norman, drawing an unnecessary roughness flag.

I'm just wondering how the nice, convenient, round number of $8268 came to be?

 

I wonder if it started at $8000 and something pushed it over the edge another $268?

 

Just another instance of the NFL making poo up as it goes. Seriously, how is this number arrived at?

 

in the case of Harper it was AARP enrollment.

It was determined before the season. There is a list somewhere and I am guessing the NFL and NFLPA negotiated to get fine amounts.

Atlanta claiming to be energized... the Failcons are fortunate that Carolina's coaching staff sucks. They were handed that game.

 

Must be the cocaine.

 

Honestly, throughout all my travels to NFL cities and attending games there is no less intelligent, sports IQ-less, bunch of idiot fans. Nowhere can one experience the cultural cross-contamination of a fanbase comprised of dopey white rednecks and wannabe black thugs. Put them all in one place and you have one of the strangest, albeit just plain stupid, football crowds.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
