NFL threatens 'significant' discipline for fighting

The NFL has threatened to hand down significant punishment to any players or teams involved in fights before or during games.

Any players or club personnel who fight before or during a game are subject to ejection, suspension and/or "significant fine," according to the memo.

Any team whose players or personnel are involved in a fight could potentially forfeit a draft pick and/or face a fine. The NFL also said that teams whose players or personnel join an existing fight could potentially be "subject to more significant accountability measures."

DK, Jamal, take notice.

Are we cleaning things up for our new European fans?

If it's for the European fans then all the players are going to have to learn how to flop, fake a terrible injury, get carted off the field, then have a miracle recovery 2 plays later and be back out there...

So a miracle recovery is 2 plays......a normal recovery is 3 plays?

You know what I'm talking about, with those "top tier" soccer players flopping faster than a $2 hooker...

Dammit, they raised their price again.

Yes I know what you mean.

Too bad they don't announce this kind of discipline for their pathetic officiating.

Watch a lineman fake getting head butted while wearing a helmet.
