Default Mangini: Fines player $1,701 for not paying for $3 bottle of water

In Cleveland, a $3 bottle of water can cost a lot more than that | ProFootballTalk.com

Quote:
Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Browns have fined a player for not paying for a bottle of water that he drank in his hotel room during a preseason road trip.

The bottle of water cost $3. With the fine, the player could have purchased 567 more of them.

Yes, Browns coach Eric Mangini fined the player $1,701 for not paying for the $3 bottle of water.
Hey now.

Mangini is actually smart. He learned from Belichick that the path to greatness is to get fired from the Browns first. He's WAY ahead of Belichick's pace.

Come to think of it, maybe Mangini really IS ManGenius... after all, genius is 1% inspriation and 99% persperation... and the fat fink sure does seem to sweat a lot.

So this is how Mangina is going to pay his fine for lying about Favres shoulder.

Did he have one of his vaunted "open competitions" between two mathematicians to decide how much the fine would be on this one?

Why the hell did they hire Mangina in the first place?

It would be funny if it were a rookie fined during his forced slave labor for Mangina's football camp.

This guy is an absolute TURD.

What is the logic of hiring a proven mediocrity? Don't take a chance on someone who could be good, just hire someone known to be able to be mediocre? Browns fans should revolt.

Just silly on a multitude of levels.

It hit me that Mangini is like Capt Queeg from the Caine Mutiny. All we need is Eric to pull out silver balls in his hands in a post game conference and talk about the "strawberries, strawberries"

There has to be more to the story than this. When I check out of a hotel, I expect them to add the extras on my bill (room service, minibar,) Did he tell them,'don't drink the water"???? How cheap can you get..with a pro athlete?
Maybe this explains why they have staph problems. Did they replace disinfectant with plain soap??? I'm only half-joking .....
The CBA provides for room and board (article 38)during training and if they are on team business, I hope the Browns followed the letter of the law re per diems (article 39- see below) because if I'm the union rep, I'm scrutinizing everything now..


-------------------------------------------------------
} Article XXXVII
Section 2. Room and Board: All players will receive room and board during the pre-season training camp, and
housing between training camp and the Tuesday prior to their Club’s first regular season game for those players
who have not=2 0as yet established residence in the Team city.[ ARTICLE XXXIX
MEAL ALLOWANCE
Section 1. Reimbursement: A player will be reimbursed for meals not furnished by his Club on travel days
during the preseason, regular season and postseason as follows: 2006-07 League Years-Breakfast $17.00,
Lunch $25.00, Dinner $43.00; 2008-10 League Years and the 2011 League Year if it is an Uncapped Year -
Breakfast $18.00, Lunch $27.00, Dinner $45.00; and 2011 League Year if it is a Capped Year and 2012 League
Year - Breakfast $19.00, Lunch $29.0 0, Dinner $47.00. For purposes of this Article, commercial airline meals
or the equivalent shall not be considered as furnished by the Club.

I expect that the NFLPA might actually weigh in on this subject.

That's a rediculous penalty for such a small thing, especially since the hotel normally would add the cost of the water onto the credit card billing after it was discovered. Every Hotel i have ever stayed at as put a $20 "padding" onto the hold on your card in order to cover such events. If the bill is square, then it's rebated or refunded or not even charged.

I would have to think that there are other issues between the player and coach here. If not, there certainly is now.

What a douche Mangina has become...
