New England Patriots to discipline Javon Baker after traffic-ticket tirade

New England wide receiver Javon Baker will be disciplined for his Instagram Live rant on Sunday after getting a traffic ticket, but he remains on course to make his NFL debut in the Patriots’ season-opening game on Sunday, coach Jerod Mayo said.

“There is a penalty, but not to the level of missing a game,” Mayo said on Monday.

Baker filled two-and-a-half minutes on Instagram Live with an expletive-dotted expression of exasperation after, he said, getting ticketed while dropping off someone at the airport.

“These police officers in Massachusetts, they some hating-ass police officers,” Baker said.
