Well, the NFL still doesn't fine for flopping.
While Jerome Simpson of the Cincinnati Bengals offered perhaps the best example to date of cause for punishment in this past Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, the league confirmed Saturday to NFL.com the wide receiver was not fined.
The infamous flop took place after Simpson pulled Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, feet first, out of a scrum during the second quarter. When Fujita got up and made slight contact with Simpson, the receiver launched himself backward and to the turf.Â
A flag was thrown and a personal foul penalty was called on Fujita. That penalty, however, was offset by the personal foul on Simpson for pulling Fujita from the pile of players.
