The folks employed to run the league’s social media accounts aren’t the identical ones figuring out participant fines, however Carr’s punishment reveals why the NFL has earned the “No Enjoyable League” moniker.
After signing a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints final offseason, Carr will nonetheless be capable of preserve the lights on his residence regardless of the advantageous.
