Yeah, they are doing it to the Saints too. This is a slippery slope because all it takes is a real injury and a lawsuit waiting to happen. I’m not sure how you can “prove” an injury like cramps or not. (Yes I know bates was likely fake)

Bates might have a pretty good case here, as a cramp can come on suddenly. they can also leave pretty quickly after you have rested some. I would think it would be pretty hard to prove it wasn’t a cramp. But, The acting part wasn’t very good.

Unless something was done such as a signal there was no indication this was orchestrated by the sideline, I don't see the team and coaches being fined. The only one saying anyone other than Jesse was fined was Florio and we all know his reliability or lack there of.

It was an obvious fake injury. But this has been happening a long time. Is this something new the NFL is trying to target because defenses have always done this.
