Patriots Won’t Accept Fines Without Fight

Michael Timpson denied any involvement in the sexual harassment of a female reporter in the New England Patriot locker room, and an attorney for Zeke Mowatt aid Wednesday the controversy is “far from over.”

NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue fined Mowatt $12,500 and Timpson and Robert Perryman $5,000 each in connection with the Sept. 17 incident involving Boston Herald reporter Lisa Olson. “Mr. Timpson shall be challenging this erroneous decision by Commissioner Tagliabue, and his name and reputation will be vindicated,” said Brett Senior, Timpson’s agent.

Robert Fraley, Mowatt’s attorney, said: “Our intent will be to have people start talking--names, faces and facts--under oath.”
