As expected, Joe Nedney got a little letter in the mail from the NFL regarding his old school one finger salute to the fans this sunday. Nedney has to pony up $7,500 for his “obscene gesture”:

“It was the culmination of a frustrating day for me,” Nedney said. “Rather than taking a deep breath and counting to 10, I heard something that rubbed me the wrong way at the wrong time, and I made a mistake.”

The Jaguars defensive tackle Marcus Stroud is facing a four game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. The suspension could start as early as this week, Stroud requested a B-Sample test which is a last attempt to clear his name (and body of pollutants).

“I’ll be there Sunday,” Stroud said. “I’m not here to squash rumors. I’m here to play ball. Whatever happens will happen. But right now, I’m going to focus on New Orleans. I have no comment on anything else.”

Translation: “Please leave me alone, I have no excuse, I messed up, now lets hope this B sample turns out in my favor”

This incident is another 100 points for the football squad in the Criminal Fantasy League, these guys are running away with a victory in only one month after the competition started.

And Finally, former San Diego Padre Mike Cameron has also tested positive for a banned stimulant. He filed for free agency shortly before the news of his dirty test became public, this will undoubtedly hurt the size of the contract he’s gonna get this offseason. Cameron will be suspended for the first 25 games of the 2008 season. Cameron wants everyone to be clear he wasn’t taking a steroid, but simply a naturally supplement that contained an illegal substance.

“The one thing I wanted to make sure was explained is, no steroids,” Cameron told the station. “I never took nothing like that before in my life. That would be 50 games, and that would affect me a whole lot more.”

Cameron, who turns 35 on Jan. 8, said he thinks he took a tainted supplement.

This is 100 points for the baseball squad.
