Kerry Rhodes insists teammate Darnell Dockett didn't spit on him during the Arizona Cardinals' 7-6 loss to the New York Jets. But Dockett's actions still were enough to warrant serious condemnation from the team. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Friday that the Cardinals fined Dockett $200,000 for conduct detrimental to the team, according to a source briefed on the fine. Dockett is appealing the punishment, a source briefed on the fine told Breer and NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, and the NFL Players Association already has begun the progress of filing a grievance on the player's behalf, according to a union source. After the news broke, Dockett tweeted his thanks to the NFLPA and said "I ain't got no worries." Source: NFL.com Attached Thumbnails
