Along with his previously reported $21,000 fine for bumping referee Jerome Boger, Newton has also been fined another $10,000 for his actions in last week’s game against the Raiders.

The latest fine, according to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, was for kicking Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly.

That’s a week of expensive lessons for Newton, who is probably fortunate he wasn’t ejected from bumping into Boger. Newton apologized after the game, and Boger said afterward it wasn’t a malicious act, but the quarterback has to show more restraint if he expects his teammates around him to.

He wasn’t the only Panther fined either, as defensive end Greg Hardy was fined $25,000 for the shot that knocked Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer out, and safety Charles Godfrey was docked $21,000 for hitting a defenseless receiver in the head.

Actually, I don't mind the scrapiness as I think this is more who he is. I despise the constant smiling as nothing is that funny during a game. Just be yourself, quit the playacting. Be the leader and if that means occasionally getting ticked off, then so be it. The kicking might not get him points, but yelling at the ref (without bumping) should be expected.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I know teams have been selling out to stop the run, but Ricos kind of fallen off a cliff.. not sure if hes hurt or just worn down but even when theres a hole he doesnt look anything like he did those few weeks prior.

      89 on The Pivot

      nah, that's basically saying people can't call a spade a spade.  Which is crazy.  89 is not a good dude.  He might have done a couple good things but it will never erase what he has proven to be in front of the world.  I tell my kid all the time not to view celebrity athletes as anything but people that play a sport well.  Lot of garbage humans play on Sunday.   And you have no clue who the good guys actually are.  PR in today's world is also powerful.  There was a window when Deshawn Watson checked every good guy box that could ever existed from the public's perspective.

      Some folks say it's because teams are playing more shell defenses preventing more longer passes.  The analytics folks would rather you pass for 7 years every down.  As you state, the crop of QBs is mixed as far as quality. I think when you put it all together, it's a recipe for less passing yards.
