Bates "Injury"

[*pally*]

Apparently the Saints owner took the appeal straight to Goodell. Well we know how the Commish feels about the Bengals these days

Apparently Zac was fined 150k and the Bengals 350k.

Quote:Meanwhile, here is a breakdown of Cincinnati's fines: Bates ($50,000), head coach Zac Taylor ($150,000) and the Bengals ($350,000). (The fines for Taylor and the Bengals were based on the minimum fines for head coaches and franchises laid out in the NFL memo as punishment for faking injuries. It's unclear if Bates' position coach was fined). At the time, Bates announced his plans to appeal as well, per NFL Network.
