Was it worth it?
The Giants and Lions have each been fined $200,000 for the series of fights that transpired during the joint practices held Monday and Tuesday at the Giants training camp facility.
The NFL, in confirming these fines, indicated in a memo distributed to teams last month that “fighting and unprofessional conduct at joint practices would not be tolerated.’’
