FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - A person familiar with the situation
says Falcons coach Mike Smith has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for
a sideline altercation involving former Atlanta cornerback DeAngelo
Hall.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because the league has not officially commented on the
situation. The person also says that Falcons director of athletic
performance Jeff Fish was fined $2,500.
The trouble started in Sunday's game after Washington safety
LaRon Landry delivered a late hit on quarterback Matt Ryan along
the Atlanta sideline. Hall jumped into the middle of things and was
quickly surrounded by opposing players, along with Smith and Fish.
Hall joined the Redskins last season after playing in Atlanta from
2004-07. He has been critical of his former team.
