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, and then got into a heated sideline confrontation with coach Bobby Petrino and an assistant.

...and may be suspended for at least a quarter of the next game....

??? -- Why would they "suspend" him for a quarter? Is this a typo or do they really think that benching him for 15 minutes will mean something?

It's the equivalent of a basketball player showing up late for a game and just being pulled from the starting lineup. Not sure who decided that this tactic actually proved anything, though.

Petrino just showed everyone that he's weak.
