In past years at the Washington Redskin's Camp, it could cost a player
money for
showing up late to a meeting or a practice, for missing breakfast,
blowing curfew, or reporting over his playing weight.
Verlon Biggs reportedly paid the largest overweight fine in
Redskin history, some $2,500 for showing up 25 pounds overweight
in 1971. The fine was $100 per pound.
Missing breakfast at camp cost a player $2 the first time, $4 the second time, $8 the third time, and so on. The team's security man, who checked off every player as he walked through the line, once figured that anyone who skipped breakfast for an entire preseason would owe the club about $150,000,000.
