EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants and Detroit Lions were each fined $200,000 for multiple fights at joint practices this week, the NFL confirmed Wednesday.

All NFL teams were reminded in a memo last month that "fighting and unprofessional conduct at joint practices would not be tolerated." The league is putting an increased emphasis on keeping these get-togethers clean this year.

It didn't seem to deter the Giants or Lions. There were more than a dozen scuffles over the two days of joint practices between the teams this week.
