So do they take back the $20k from the charity (I read somewhere all fines are distributed to charities)?
Or just take it out of the NFL coffers?

If he appealed the fine then he hasn't paid it yet.

Ahh gotcha, I just assumed they had to pay the fine before their next game or they don't play.
And what about the interception that was taken off the board?

From what I heard, it's taken out of their paycheck automatically (if they don't appeal of course).

Calais Campbell: Gee thanks, NFL.
Jaguars fans: Gee thanks, NFL.
This is pretty meaningless......since it doesn't undo the damage done....which was loss of the interception and probably having a W instead of a L.
Basically symbolic at best....maybe the NFL feels better but oh well.

Lol, justice, NFL style (may take a few weeks and largely for PR!)
Can't have the Bart Starr winner with a personal foul/fine on his resume' as he accepts the award now can we?
