I have heard of the incident, but haven't seen any coverage on it myself...

So, I've heard T.O. spit on a dude...

And while I'm not shocked, what I am shocked about is that his fine is unprecedented, like over 30 grand..? Can someone concur..?

He spit on DeAngelo Hall of the Atlanta Falcons. And he was fined $35k for it. Here is an article about it:

"it's more than twice as much as the last fine for spitting"

And this wasn't even caught on tape...That's ridiculous...

All because it's TO and it was right after the NBA fight. I think that NBA fight might have had something to do with the fine being so much

SI is saying that unless he scores at least 6 TD's in the playoffs the Cowboys are going to release him. At this rate, he's going to be playing for every team in the NFL!

I agree...Only a desperate team w/lots of cap space is going to want him, and those are far and few inbetween...

Well I wouldn't be surprised if a team, like maybe the Giants, would sign him with an incentive-laden contract. A team that is really close to making the playoffs and just need one good receiver to do it. If they make it all incentive based, then they don't have to pay him if he doesn't produce
