The New York Jets have fined linebacker Bart Scott $10,000 for an obscene gesture aimed at a photographer in the team's locker room on Monday, the team announced Thursday.


"Bart’s actions were inappropriate and unacceptable," the team said in a statement.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Tuesday that the league was reviewing the incident that occurred as players cleared out their lockers at the team's facility in Florham Park, N.J., after failing to make the playoffs. Scott gathered items from his locker, walked past reporters and then turned, stuck out his middle finger and used an expletive while telling a photographer to get the camera out of his face.

The Jets are a hot mess. Greg McElroy gave an interesting interview about it on ESPN radio yesterday.

1. Maybe Bart should have just said,

"Suck on it." That would have been OK in the locker room, I'm sure.

3. Well, even team management says that

giving reporters the finger is unacceptable. But, if he just said "suck on it," that would be OK, because its sports.

4. I always thought the term orginated from "go suck an egg".
