On Oct. 9, the Giants lost a game to the Packers in Green Bay. In that game, Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers played poorly. After that game, Flowers reportedly shoved a reporter in the locker room. The NFL decided to investigate the incident.
The investigation appears to be over. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL will not fine Flowers because he didn't violate the personal conduct policy.

Here's what reportedly happened that night, via our Jared Dubin:
Things got even worse for Flowers after the game, when he reportedly shoved a reporter in the locker room. Per a report from NJ.com, this is how it went down: Flowers was giving an interview to two reporters when a third -- ESPN's Jordan Raanan -- walked over to the area near his locker.
Flowers then interrupted the question he was being asked to tell Raanan to leave the area. When Raanan wouldn't leave, Flowers shoved him out of the way.
I was not there to witness the event, so I don't know for sure what happened. But if Flowers did shove a reporter and escaped a fine, that could be a not-so-great precedent for reporters moving forward.
Thankfully, I work from home my blogger basement. (Not really).
