NFL Drops Another OUTRAGEOUS Hammer....| Detroit Lions News

Well, if it's Saturday, that must mean the NFL Kangaroo Court is again in session. And the Lions were once again told to approach the bench, found guilty, and sentenced to another outrageous fine. We're going to dive into the ridiculousness of this and every fine since week number one and more right here on this edition of Lions Digest. Hey, everybody, yours truly, Captain Lou here. want to take a moment to welcome those of you that might be checking us out for the first time here to the program and if you haven't done it yet i invite you to hit that subscribe button it's free come along on the journey with us and the lions here in 2026 be a part of the conversation all the live reaction and everything that's yet to come with the lions and us here on lions digest Well, again, the NFL Kangaroo Court was again in session as it is on every Saturday, and the Lions were found guilty and given another outrageous fine. This time, it was for defensive lineman D.J. Wona. His fine for the game last Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, $12,600 for a supposed hip-drop tackle in the second quarter of that game against Arizona. Now, keep in mind, he didn't get penalized for it, but the kangaroo court felt it was egregious enough to drop this ridiculous fine. Well, this isn't the only one that's hampered the Lions, and I'm sure that it's gone on throughout the NFL. Let's talk about Jameer Gibbs. He started the fine list in week one, and his was just as ridiculous, if you ask me. Let's take a look at this. Remember back in week one with the Lions game against the Saints? he got fined $14,269 or $926 whatever it was for lowering his helmet for a one-yard touchdown run now granted they don't find defensive players for this but Jahmyr Gibbs gets a fine for lowering his helmet running into the end zone they tell you run with your head down motor forward that's all he did. He didn't use it as a weapon, but he got it as a fine. Just absolutely asinine with what happened with that fine. But if you think that's crazy, the Lions week two fines were over $130,000. This was crazy. Take a look at this. 10 violations in week two. St. Brown, he got fined for four things, including chugging a beer or pretending to. Come on. This is absolutely out of hand for the Lions. And the crazy thing about all of that, too, is with Jamison Williams. Now, I want to go back to some of these fines, the early timeline on these fines. Let's take a peek at it. Gibbs was fined, as I mentioned. The fines total spiked at $130,000. Now, let's take another look at the week two total, if you will. 10 fines, $130,960. Four fines right there just for Amon-Ra St. Brown, $59,700. And he wasn't flagged for any of them. That's what I just don't get. It just really just bothers the heck out of me, as you can tell. Now let's take a look at Jamison Williams. He won two of his appeals. And the crazy thing was he won appeals for faking smoking a joint, I mean you don't get your you don't get your fine appealed in one for chugging a beer but it's okay, oh my god absolutely ludicrous and again Jamison Williams ended up getting fines later on for taunting doing this in the end zone to the Jet defender I mean are you kidding me here and then he got another fine for unnecessary roughness $23,417. And again, it just kept on going in week four. What about this fine? Brock Wright got a leg whip fine, $17,911. He didn't get a penalty for that leg whip. It was nowhere to be found. I didn't see any penalty flags. Jack Campbell got a fine for $15,930 for a hip drop tackle. Are you kidding me? And then this penalty back for DJ Wunham in week five for a hip drop tackle again, his was only $12,611. Who determines how bad these fines are? Who determines how much they get? And don't give me the crap about it all goes to charity because that is absolute, that doesn't matter. These fines are ridiculous. They didn't get flagged for any of these and they're getting over $130,000 in fines. Absolutely unacceptable. Absolutely ridiculous. The NFL at it again. I mean, they'll fine you for not wearing your socks all the way up on your uniform. It's that insane. The NFL is employing people millions of dollars to give out these fines. Ex-ball players, whatever. It must be nice to have all that kind of money to throw around. Well, this is probably what they use half of those fines for, to pay the people to give out the fines oh all right well let's calm down a little bit speaking of Jameer Gibbs right he's on a roll he wants that rushing touchdown record and i think he's going to get it that's why i'm going to roll with our brand new partner here on Calshi when i say yes i'm going to trade that Jameer trade yes that Jameer Gibbs will set the rushing he'll get the touchdown lead He'll be the leading rushing touchdown scorer in 2026. Now, again, with Calshi, you're trading directly against other users, not the traditional sports book. You're buying yes or no contracts on the outcomes of events across sports, politics, even the weather. Now, let's go back to what I said. I think he's going to be the touchdown leader, rushing touchdowns this year in the National Football League. He's trading at about 18%, which is a pretty good trade. If you trade $25 on this one, that means you're going to get about $53 back on your return. Now, why do I say $25, do you ask? It's simple. If you're thinking about using Calshi, make sure that you use the link below and use the promo code DIGESTNFL, and when you trade your first $25, you'll get $55 back into your account instantly. It's that simple. all the games trade on Calshi all right while we've got a few minutes let's take a look at some of your content your comments from this year all right this is about Kelvin Shepard he's not going anywhere when we were talking earlier about his seat potentially being hot we are four games in and only three safeties hurt now this was before the Arizona game if it stinks after the bye and branches back things might be different but at this point it really doesn't matter now here's another one about our defense. Ranked 32nd. Okay, Brad, I defended you as far as I could, but after four games, we ranked 32nd. Everything stinks. Changes got to be made. There's still time. Yes, there is still time. And again, this is in reference right before the Arizona game when the trade rumors were flying as the Lions definitely needing defensive help without a doubt. all right so again the kangaroo court was in session again today DJ Warner he got fined twelve thousand six hundred dollars for a hip tackle hip drop tackle whatever you want to call it and so again that brings the total fines for the lions over a hundred and thirty thousand dollars absolutely ridiculous who knows where it's going to end up with the lions they're on pace to give out about five hundred thousand dollars all right that's going to do it for this edition of Lions Digest i want to thank everybody who took the time out to watch us wherever you watched us from around the world here on Lions Digest and if you haven't done it yet i invite you to hit that subscribe button it's free come along on the journey with us and the lions here in 2026 be a part of the conversation and all of the live reactions here on Lions Digest until Until next time, Captain Lou saying keep your heads up, keep your sticks down, keep your feet moving, and as always, keep your minds open.
