Norman and Harper fined

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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
