New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and the league have a differing opinion on his latest fine.Beckham is appealing the $24,309 penalty levied by the league for an unsportsmanlike conduct call against the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source. The fine was for taking off his helmet after exiting the end zone while celebrating his game-winning 66-yard touchdown. He was flagged on the play.It was Beckhams fourth fine in six games this season, raising his total to $96,772. Its starting to get frustrating.They fine me for everything, Beckham said earlier this year. They fine me for smiling.In this case, the rule (Section 3, Article 1, Item h) states that its unsportsmanlike conduct for: removal of his helmet by a player in the field of play during a celebration or during a confrontation with a game official or any other player.The sticking point here is in the field of play. Beckham was out of the back of the end zone and ran directly to the sideline once his helmet was removed. He was not technically in the field of play.This is his argument with the league in hope of having the fine reduced or rescinded. Giants receiver Victor Cruz won his appeal on a celebration fine earlier this year.Beckhams history may not help. In Week 1, he was involved in that group celebration with Cruz that cost him $12,154. In Week 2, he was docked $36,000 for a hit on New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro. After Week 4, he was docked $24,309 for taunting Xavier Rhodes during a Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings.Beckham leads the Giants with 40 receptions for 630 yards and three touchdowns this season. He was limited Sunday with a hip/abdominal injury in London against the Los Angeles Rams, but he still made the biggest offensive play of the game when he came down with a jump ball for a 22-yard gain in the fourth quarter of the 17-10 win. The Giants scored the winning touchdown several plays later.Beckham spent Monday getting treatment and was pretty sore.He has time to heal up. The Giants are on their bye and dont play until Nov. 6, when they host the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium. cheap nfl jerseys .

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State suddenly seems to have a penalty problem.The Wolfpack nearly doubled their flag total with 13 of them for 144 yards in a win over Wake Forest -- the most flags since 2012. They know they cant afford to be nearly that undisciplined when Notre Dame visits this week.Linebacker Airius Moore on Monday called the penalty issue a huge emphasis for the week, especially calls for roughing the passer and pass interference on defense.We got 13 penalties and you cant expect to win a bunch of games with 13 penalties, Moore said. Weve got to make sure were not committing penalties and giving the offense extra yards.Coach Dave Doeren said hes asked the Atlantic Coast Conference office for an explanation on some of the chop blocks called against his team versus Wake Forest but has not received a response yet. He says the penalty issue has been talked about with the players.For the first month of the season, penalties didnt seem like a huge issue. The Wolfpack (3-1) averaged about five flags and ranked fifth in the league with 52.7 yards in penalties through three games.That all changed in the ACC opener against the Demon Deacons.Starting safety Shawn Boone was ejected for targeting in the second half and will miss the first half of the Notre Dame game because of it. Flags for unnecessary roughness and chop blocks piled up as the Wolfpack amassed seaason worsts in both total penalties and yardage.dddddddddddd It was their most flags since they drew 14 in a loss at Miami four years ago.We could have prevented a lot of those, receiver Cole Cook said, but I was glad we didnt let those distract us from what we needed to do.Still, it increased their average by more than 20 yards, and left them ranked 12th in the league and 113th nationally in yards penalized per game. Their average of 7.5 flags dropped them to 11th in the ACC and 99th in the Football Bowl Subdivision.Theyve had at least seven penalties in every game but one, a 49-22 win over Old Dominion in Week 3 in which they were flagged just twice.The Fighting Irish havent been much better. Theyre 71st nationally in penalty yardage (56.8) and 49th with 5.8 penalties per game, and in a strange coincidence had season worsts of nine penalties for 94 yards in arguably their most complete performance -- a 39-10 rout of Nevada.They also lost a player to targeting in their last game -- freshman Devin Studstill, who was ejected in the first half of the Syracuse win.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap .
