Peyton Manning Hit With Fine for Taunting D.J. Swearinger; Calls it Money Well Spent

The world was caught by surprise when Peyton Manning got in the face of Texans safety D.J. Swearinger's a couple plays after Swearinger had laid out Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker. It was the first time in Manning's long and illustrious career that he was hit with such a penalty which in today's NFL comes with a fine.

Sure enough, Manning was hit with an $8268 fine. As could be expected--Peyton is not worried about it at all.

In fact, he called it money well spent:

Peyton Manning notified by NFL he is fined $8,200 for taunting of DJ Swearinger. No appeal. Peyton: "I accept it. Money well spent."

So beware defensive backs everywhere. Don't mess with Peyton Manning's wide receivers. He might curse you out (and words can hurt).
