Tennessee Titans' DE Jason Babin was fined $20,000 for an illegal hit on Rivers during last weekend's game. The hit occurred after Rivers threw what would become a long TD pass to Gates. For those of you who don't remember the play in which this occurred, refer to the video above at about the 1:54 second mark (hint: Babin is the one crawling on the ground and lunging at Rivers knee well after he let go of the ball). The article about the fine can be found here. Justice has been served.
The sports universe was abuzz Thursday with speculation regarding when wide receiver Vincent Jackson will report to the Chargers....Initial reports had him coming in by Oct. 31, the day of the Chargers’ eighth game.

Team Jackson certainly knows the receiver must report by 1 p.m. PT on Oct. 30 in order to sit out his three games on the Roster Exempt List and still get his six games on the roster in order to be a free man.

As long as he knows he has to be here by Oct. 30. Signed, sealed and delivered by 1 p.m.Easy, right?
Well, remember the Sept. 4 deadline for Jackson to reach a contract agreement with another team and have a trade consummated so he could serve his DUI suspension and Roster Exempt time concurrently? That was the first time Jackson’s agents said the Chargers stymied a trade.
Turns out, the chance the Chargers had to make a deal was actually no chance at all.
A source said Thursday that the Chargers did not even get the call from the Minnesota Vikings informing them the Vikings had reached a deal with Jackson until 3:01 p.m. PT. A deadline for a deal to be done required Jackson’s signed tender and a trade agreement to be received by the league by 3 p.m.
