Odell Beckham Jr. fined for flashing too much shin
Just in case you needed another reminder that the NFL takes everything except brain injuries too seriously, Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was handed the most ridiculous fine of his career.
Odell Beckham Jr. took to social media on Monday evening to share a notice from the NFL informing him that he has been fined $14,000 for his pants being too short during his team’s game against the Seattle Seahawks back in Week 6.
Yep–he was flashing too much shin for Roger Goodell. You can’t make this crap up.

“14K for some

Okay, this Puritan madness is too damn crazy, even for the NFL.
