    I've never heard of a 1/2 or 1/4 game suspension. Anyone?

    Falcons' Hall may be suspended for part of Texans game

    Associated Press

    FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — In another distraction for the Atlanta Falcons, Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall said Wednesday he's been fined $100,000 and may be suspended for at least a quarter of the next game for his meltdown last week against the Carolina Panthers.

    Hall wasn't pleased with the decision and plans to appeal through the NFL Players Association.

    The Falcons (0-3) acted quickly after their defensive star was called for three penalties totaling 67 yards on one possession, including two personal fouls, then got into a heated sideline confrontation with coach Bobby Petrino and an assistant.

    The penalties led to a Carolina touchdown that tied the game at 17 in the third quarter. The Panthers went on to a 27-20 victory.

    Asked if he thought the punishment was fair, Hall said, "I don't think so. They think so, but I don't think so. My agent is working on it with the union and hopefully we can get something worked out."

    Hall said he might be suspended for either the first quarter or first half of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, whose offense is directed by former Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub.

    Petrino would only confirm a decision was reached on disciplining Hall, but wouldn't discuss the details.

    "It is something that we are keeping in house," the first-year coach said.

    I've seen it happen in college but I don't recall it in the NFL.

    Basically it means, We Hate what you did, but if we suspend you for an entire game our chances of even staying within 2 touchdowns of our opponent will be shot to hell.

    The suspension is a joke and Hall's reaction to it is an even bigger joke. Petrino should have stayed in college. Wanna guess which player definitely won't be a Falcon next season?

    Damn, Michael Vick got screwed. I mean, come on...if arguing with a coach only gets a half game, then being the mastermind of a multi-state dog fighting ring is worth 1 1/2, 2 games at the MOST...

    Basically means "Hey I'm a college coach and this is how we do it at Louisville."
