Because $220 is too much.

RE: Mandingits-
I thought 1760 might have been the birthday year of Benedict Arnold, but it turns out it was 1741. Maybe he charged him $1741 in honor of his true mentor and the Ohio State dumb-ass tax brought it up to $1760?

I'm a fan. It's common sense to have your phone off during meetings. I bet after this he doesn't forget again!

It's probably one day of camp pay.

I think he was trying to get "a breast" of the issue....

But I don't have any problem with this fine, or the reason it was levied.

Maybe he trying to come up with a little cash on the side for man breast reduction.

Maybe yelling at the guy would have sufficed? Mangini tries way too hard to be a "strict disciplinarian". The water incident from last year was even more ridiculous.

Might be they think it's catchy? what are the chances you would remember it as well as you do if it were 220 or 250?
