Counting the minutes to Peter King picks this up and starts petitioning Goodell for a response.

I'd love to see the league do something about this... considering the Packers were just let off w/o a slap even for the same thing.

Awesome little nugget at the end. Like an undercover vice officer.

I don't know how this can violate league rules when the players themselves impose these fines. Unless a player was totally against it and complained.

I wouldn't be surprised if Goodell fined the Pats for this while letting Green Bay go without any penalty.

Yeah well you wouldnt want a team to fine its players for showing up late. I know when I am late for work my boss does not feel any need to let me know that I am wrong. I have never been fined for it, but I did lose a job once because I was late twice in a row, so that is worse than a fine.

It is right to sanction someone who is late for work, but as an early bird never received anything for always being early..
