Eric Mangini is becoming laughable, his penalities and requests ludacrious, and if he doesn’t watch out, he will absolutely lose his team (if he hasn’t already.) From Profootballtalk.com

Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Browns have fined a player for not paying for a bottle of water that he drank in his hotel room during a preseason road trip.

The bottle of water cost $3.

With the fine, the player could have purchased 567 more of them.

Yes, Browns coach Eric Mangini fined the player $1,701 for not paying for the $3 bottle of water.

We’d heard about this one several days ago, but it sounded so ludicrous that we wanted to be 100 percent sure of it before mentioning it. (We hope NBC’s legal department appreciates that.)

I’m SOOO glad he is no longer the Jets head coach.

Whether you like to make NFL picks or bet on games, having information to make your pick always helps. This week’s games feature a couple of great matchups, led by Jets-Pats and Giants-Cowboys. Jets-Pats features the high energy matchup which features two teams that don’t like each other at all and new Jets coach Rex Ryan facing Bill Bellicheck for the first time.

And those who engage in sports betting are very excited about the Giants-Cowboys game, which features the opening of the new Cowboys stadium, which will have around 104,000 people in it on Sunday night. It is also a good early test for the Cowboys offensive line against the Giants famous pass rush.

Somehow, yes, somehow, I went 15-1 in my NFL Week 1 picks last week. Yikes is right. So now we move onto Week 2 (winners in bold):

Carolina at Atlanta 1:00 pm FOX Regional
New Orleans at Philadelphia 1:00 pm FOX Regional
