EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
Mark Bavaro of the Giants today agreed to pay a reported $7,500 NFL fine, saying he lost his composure two weeks ago when he bumped an official.
The incident caused Bavaro to be ejected from New York’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“It was just an emotional time in the game,” Bavaro said. “It was a little overexuberance and the league found it in their best interest to fine me. I accept that.” The league would not disclose the amount of the fine. Two newspapers reported it was $7,500.
