So far, the $50,000 fine proscribed in the rules has morphed into $1,000,000, a draft pick, and a four game suspension. When will these penalties be levied on the other four teams caught breaking the same rule in the last two years? (Jets, Colts, Packers, Vikings)
Did they obstruct an investigation? Was there even an investigation? Where 11 of 12 balls grossly under inflated? Is there video of equipment guys taking balls into bathroom?
Just askin’
Actually, the prescribed fine is either 8k or 5k.
Clarification. The player fine is 5k or 8k. If the team did it deliberately - which they were exonerated of - the fine would be 25k.
