The Saints players who were named to the Pro Bowl, and who were therefore already in Miami, decided to greet the rest of their team when they arrived today.
Instead of just greeting them, though, they decided to dress as bellhops for the hotel the team is staying in.
That’s pretty funny, actually. And worth about 30 Points in my book. I’m going to give it to the entire Saints roster, instead of 30 a piece for all the Saints probowlers. So… if you have the Saints roster on your Fantasy UnSports roster, you just earned 30 points for this lighthearted prank. Enjoy!

Way back in the beginning of the season, we had a few active NFL players pledge to donate their brains to science to help with concussion research. We awarded points for that and even created a new PQE for it.
Well, here’s another one. Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer has joined the ranks of those giving away their grey matter when they die. Good for you Hunter. Maybe this research will help prevent future traumatic injures.
Or maybe it’s just a good headline.
Either way, that’s 45 Points. (sorry, guys, but it appears the Bears don’t have cheerleaders–at least...

Brian McKinnie–another of those idiots on the Pro Bowl roster that probably shouldn’t have been on the roster but only was because so many other players bailed–is a big idiot.
First, he skipped Pro Bowl practice–and we are now told it’s because he was out partying at the club. Awesome.
Then, the NFC kicked him off the roster for his violation. Sweet.
Now, there’s not a specific PQE for this kind of lunacy. But there’s one for “skipping practice” and another for “being benched for disciplinary reasons”, and those are both worth 25...

There will be a leaderboard update later today. For now, I’ve got too many PQEs to get to:
-Rex Ryan flipped some people off at some kind of MMA event. Good for you, Rex. You just keep on speaking your mind… even with your fingers. That’s 45 Points.
-Then, the next day, Ryan decided to apologize for flipping the bird, saying he shouldn’t have done it. Really, Rex? You shouldn’t have done it? 25 Points for the public apology.
-And Chiefs cornerback Michael Richardson was busted for an open container violation of some sort. 40 Points for that one.

Three New Orleans Saints players have been fined by the NFL for various infractions:
Bobby McCray was fined $20,000 for his low hit on Brett Favre.
Jonathan Casillas was fined $5,000 for striking an opponent late.
And Anthony Hargrove was fined for “lifting his opponent and stuffing him to the ground,” whatever that means.
That’s 30 points each for the three players. If you have the Saints on your roster, that’s 30 points three times for these fines. Might have just shaken up the leaderboard there.

Ray Maualuga, of the Cincinnati Bengals (and also of the “hard name to spell” club), was arrested last night for a DUI. That’s a paddlin’. Oh, also it’s 65 Points.
Josh Cribbs is a good guy. And a thoughtful one at that. He’s thankful for the help of his teammates who have aided his rise to the top of the NFL’s return man chart. So thankful… he took 9 of his special teams blockers with him to Pro Bowl Week. Oh, and he’s wearing their jersey’s throughout the week, one by one. That’s pretty sweet. I almost think...
