Both organizations were fined $200,00 by the NFL.
The New York Giants’ spirited joint practices with the Detroit Lions turned out to be financially costly for both teams.
The NFL confirmed that the Lions and Giants organizations have each been fined $200,000 for multiple fights that broke out at their joint practices earlier this week. It added that “ All NFL clubs were reminded in a memo sent last month that fighting and unprofessional conduct at joint practices would not be tolerated.”
Over the two-day practice sessions, there were over a half dozen fights, most of them on Monday. However a few fights popped up toward the end of Tuesday’s session and in fact because of that, both head coaches agreed to cancel the last planned period of the session since the fights continued to disrupt the flow of the timing.“It was very productive. It was competitive on both sides,” Daboll said before Tuesday’s practice. “ talked about cleaning up a few things that led to some of those things.
“Just to get a different look at different types of players that have different skillsets than what you’ve faced for two weeks now is really beneficial,” Campbell said, adding that the fights were a result of some guys going rogue. “So, it was good, man–a ton of good stuff.”Patricia Traina has covered the New York Giants for over three decades for various media outlets.
