I wouldn't doubt it.
Maybe they should quit keeping score.......... "feelings" may be hurt.

So now I'm just confused.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but the fine was appropriate because of Porter's terrible representation of the league during a press conference. If he went off howling at the moon in the presser for some desired effect, he should also be fined. Players, when in front of the klieg lights, need to keep their egos in check and behave in a civil manner.
But, then again, I guess I expect NFL players to behave at least as well as my seven year old daughter.

Nope, just make their new uniform in the shape of a tutu and that should do it.

Big BROTHER is here! What happened to free speech? Well, the NFL is a business and not the government, so if they want to set standards for how their member employees behave, then fine (no pun intended). Big Brother would be the government saying they can't do that.
OTOH, the NFL receives perqs from the public. Preferential treatment (what other business owners get their facilities built with taxpayer funds?) means, IMHO, that the NFL is under different rules.

Well done. A succinct word association that deflated all the hot air in the story. And very funny.
Especially appreciated as this is the type of humor I heard all my life from my Pa. You made my day. Thanks.

next time you want to insult a football player, tell him he plays like a Detroit Lion. Don't insult the instrument I play..

Porter is a loudmouth, but I could care less if he called Winslow a "fag". Now, if Joey had made fun of Winslow's ears, he'd be in BIG trouble!
