Carroll expects to be fined by Sherman

Packers cornerback Ahmad Carroll said he expects to be fined by coach Mike Sherman for taunting the Atlanta Falcons late in Sunday’s win.
Sherman met with Carroll on Wednesday morning and said he made it clear Carroll’s actions were unacceptable. Carroll stared down players and coaches on the Falcons’ sideline after he stripped the football from receiver Roddy White in the fourth quarter. Carroll never watched teammate Nick Barnett return the fumble 20 yards to the Falcons’ 2. Instead, he stood only a few feet from the Falcons’ players and coaches and posed. He was not penalized during the game.
“Any way I can punish him, I will,” Sherman said. “That was uncalled for. He represents me, this organization, his teammates. He won’t do it again.”
The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement says players can be fined one week’s pay for up to four weeks for conduct detrimental to the team. It’s unlikely Sherman would fine Carroll an entire game check — which for him would be $20,882. It’s more likely the fine would be a few hundred or possibly a few thousand dollars. Carroll said he’s expecting to find a letter informing him of a fine in his mailbox.
“Probably so,” Carroll said. “I haven’t looked through all my mail yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got one.”

What an idiot but I think he's learning. We'll see.
