Skins fined $43,000
 

For having too many players on the practice squad last year. What a stupid mistake.

No new car for Danny. :(

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

I thought it was $45,000. But either way, so what? I mean here's how I see it, what's $45,000 to the Danny?

I mean I don't think this particular instance gave us an advantage, but you do whatever it takes to win and if the penalty is a mere $40,000+ then what's the harm to Danny really?

uh-oh somebody call the front office police

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

Ya I remember reading last year how the Skins had found a creative way to keep 9 guys on the practice squad instead of 8. Guess it wasn't that creative.

Anyways $43K is nothing to Mr. Snyder. He'll probably do it again this year if it helps the team.

Re: Skins fined $43,000

No impact on the team. No suspensions. No draft picks forfeited. No impact to the salary cap.

So this gets a big fat WHO CARES.

Seriously, though.

I mean, who eats plain cheese anymore?

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

I think most teams would pay 45,000 to have an extra player there practice squad. Good job Danny boy. ;)

ps I still like cheese pizza. :embarrass

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

I'm glad you asked BrudLee. My little brother had a pizza party for his 10th birthday and we ordered 10 pizzas, most of them pepperoni and they only asked for cheese. Come on now!

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

What I find annoying is that it is sloppy, the practice squad thing, not the cheese.

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

Exactly, RR. To me this falls in the stupid mistakes category that we so wanted to get away from. Oh well.

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

Big Deal.
Send Lawyers, Guns and Money!

Ever hear the expression "no blood, no foul?"

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

Is it boneheaded? Sure.

Am I going to get up in arms like we just signed Mark Brunell to a $42 million contract? Um, no.

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

i've only ever eaten plain cheese pizza ;)

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

Put me in the "Who Cares?" camp.......this is SO not news.

Re: Skins fined $43,000
 

I guess Gibbs and Williams are the 'boneheads'

[quote]During a Nov. 12 practice, the Redskins used one more practice-squad player than they were allowed, leading to the fine.

Two days before that practice, Washington had cut receiver [url="http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/187640"][color=#0000ff]Gari Scott[/color][/url] from the practice squad. But two days later, without any other practice-squad player being released, Scott practiced, giving the Redskins nine practice-squad members on the field.

Redskins coach Joe Gibbs and assistant head coach for defense Gregg Williams said afterward they had found a loophole making this legal.

NFL rules stipulate that clubs must submit any roster moves by 4 p.m. The Redskins apparently believed they could use the extra player during practice as long as another player was cut by 4 p.m. But the league said there was no such loophole.
