The blast radius from the chaos of last night's Thursday Night Football grows as the NFL on Friday fined the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns and suspended a trio of players for a fight on the field in closing seconds of the Browns' 21-7 victory. Coming off the brawl, the Browns' defensive end Myles Garrett's season is now over, and it remains to be seem whether he will be reinstated at all — which is what happens when you rip the helmet off opposing team's QB and hit him repeatedly, on live TV. Cleveland's Larry Ogunjobi shoved another player during the altercation and was suspended for one game, while the Steelers' Maurkice Pouncey laid into Garrett and is out three games.

The state board that oversees Louisiana's Superdome approved a contract Thursday for the first phase of a $450 million renovation of the 44-year-old New Orleans landmark that became a symbol of the city's rebirth following Hurricane Katrina. The renovations will be the most extensive since 2005, when the dome became a last-resort haven for thousands of Hurricane Katrina's victims despite being heavily damaged. The upgrade is seen as a key element in getting a new long-term commitment from the Saints to keep the NFL franchise in New Orleans, and to attract future Super Bowls and other major events.
