Eagles' Jalen Carter loses $57,222 for spitting on Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Jalen Carters penalty for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott sends a message to the rest of the league.

Carter is losing $57,222 for the infraction, the equivalent of his game check for Week 1 because the NFL considers the punishment a one-game suspension with time served.

The Pro Bowl defensive tackle didnt play a snap after he was ejected from Philadelphias 24-20 victory over Dallas on Thursday.

Carter is expected to be on the field when the Eagles face the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday.

The team could impose its own discipline such as benching Carter for the first play, the first series or longer.

Sidney Crosby understands why trade talk surrounds him as the Penguins keep losing LAS VEGAS (AP) Sidney Crosby says he understands why trade rumors swirl around him, with the Pittsburgh Penguins having missed the playoffs each of the past three seasons.

Going into another with little hope of contending, the now 38-year-old Stanley Cup champion has heard all the buzz about going to Colorado or Montreal and realizes it comes with losing hockey.

The road wont be easy as the team is a No.

5 seed and will most likely have to start the postseason on the road in Phoenix.

Tale of two cups: Ryder Cup has Seve and Europe, and Walker Cup has only American dominance PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.

(AP) Europe has been part of the Ryder Cup as long as Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm have been alive.

And that's all because of a decision in 1978 that was largely about including Seve Ballesteros.

That's what the Walker Cup is lacking and the Americans are dominating.

They won at Cypress Point for their fifth in a row with a team better on paper and on grass.

The Americans won't have it that easy at the Ryder Cup.

But the pro game is different and there's no need for the Walker Cup to mess with history and include Europe.

Aaron Rodgers showed he has plenty left to help the Steelers Aaron Rodgers showed he can still sling it with a take-that performance.

Maybe the NFLs oldest quarterback just needed a fresh start.

The 41-year-old four-time NFL MVP avenged an awkward departure from the New York Jets by tossing four touchdown passes to help the Pittsburgh Steelers beat his former team 34-32 on Sunday.

Rodgers completed 22 of 30 passes for 244 yards with no turnovers, spoiling new Jets coach Aaron Glenns homecoming.

Rodgers took four sacks and didnt show much mobility.

But he still has his arm strength, hes a precision passer, his decision-making is sharp and he can pick apart the defense if the offensive line protects him..
