Jim Caldwell said the NFL is looking into Dominic Raiola's cut block on New England Patriots defensive lineman Zach Moore.

Caldwell said he spoke with Raiola, but he kept the nature of their conversation private. Caldwell said the Detroit Lions are not considering punishment for Raiola but would not answer whether Raiola could miss Detroit's game Thursday against Chicago.

Caldwell said he had not heard anything in regard to that type of discipline from the league.

"Game to game it's always different," Caldwell said. "There's always issues and things that you've got to manage and handle. If that does arise, we'll find a way to get around it."

A Cleveland Browns fan sparked a massive fight at The 9 when he approached Johnny Manziel and his "entourage" late Friday night, according to a police report obtained today by Scene.

Cleveland police were called to the apartment's lobby at 2:36 a.m. for a report of a "riot" involving 20 men and two security guards.

The alleged victim, 33-year-old Chris Gonos, reported to police that he and his girlfriend spotted Manziel while waiting for an elevator at the high-end apartment complex, where many Cleveland professional athletes live, and professed his love to the rookie quarterback.

Gonos told police he pointed Manziel out to his girlfriend: "That's Johnny Manziel." Then he approached him.

According to the report, "at this time victim stated to the unidentified male, 'I'm the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug.'"

Gonos stepped towards Manziel and was promptly punched in the face, the alleged victim's account to police says, followed by a beat down by Manziel's crew, giving the man a "swollen lip, right eye swollen, red face." A security guard intervened and also was hurt.

Gonos reportedly pled guilty in 2013 in federal court to charges of "conspiracy to structure financial transactions to evade filing currency transaction reports."

Adrian Peterson expressed remorse in injuring his four-year-old son with a switch.

"I won't ever use a switch again," Peterson said. "There's different situations where a child needs to be disciplined as far as timeout, taking their toys away, making them take a nap. There's so many different ways to discipline your kids."

Peterson is under a suspension and his future with the Minnesota Vikings is unclear.

"I would love to go back and play in Minnesota to get a feel and just see if my family still feels comfortable there," Peterson said. "But if there's word out that hey, they might release me, then so be it. I would feel good knowing that I've given everything I had in me."

Adrian Peterson has officially appealed his season-long suspension.

The argument is that the NFL did not act in a way consistent with the CBA's due process, per Ian Rapoport.

Peterson remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List during the appeal process. If the suspension is not overturned upon appeal the running back cannot be considered for reinstatement before April 15, 2015.

Arbitrator Shyam Das ruled in favor of the NFL on Tuesday evening, saying the league can keep Adrian Peterson on the commissioner's exempt list, effectively ending any chance the

Earlier Tuesday, Peterson was suspended without pay for at least the remainder of this season. Das' ruling was in reference to a grievance Peterson had filed arguing he should have been reinstated from the exempt list as soon as there was a resolution in his child abuse case, which came with his no contest plea on Nov. 4. Das' ruling was not connected to the suspension.

A source told ESPN's Andrew Brandt that Das ruled that Peterson "failed to establish on this record that the NFL violated either the letter agreement or the CBA."

The Indianapolis Colts do not have interest in signing Ray Rice to help fill their need at running back with Ahamd Bradshaw likely out for the season.

Chuck Pagano coached Rice with the Ravens when he was defensive coordinator.

Rice was suspended indefinitely Sept. 8 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy after a video of him hitting his then-fiancée was released publicly. 

The NFL has suspended Adrian Peterson for the remainder of the 2014 season without pay.

The Minnesota Vikings running back will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15, 2015, for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Peterson was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year.

The NFL Players Association has already released a statement, announcing that it will appeal Peterson's suspension because "the discipline imposed is inconsistent."

Adrian Peterson denied that he backed out of a scheduled disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Friday, saying the league is trying to "impose a new process of discipline on me" and circumvent the collective bargaining agreement.

"The report that I backed out of a meeting with the NFL is just not true. When Roger Goodell's office asked that I attend the 'hearing' on Friday, I consulted with my union and learned that this 'hearing' was something new and inconsistent with the CBA," he said in a statement released Sunday morning.

Peterson claims that the NFL was late to respond to questions about the nature of Friday's hearing in connection to his child-abuse case in Texas despite the NFL Players Association's repeated attempts to gain clarity from the league.

"On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this past week, my union sent emails, letters, and had conversations with [Goodell's] office on my behalf asking about the nature of the hearing, how it was to occur, who would participate, and its purpose," Peterson said. "We repeatedly asked them to respond quickly to my questions because I want to cooperate and get back on the field, but they didn't respond until late Wednesday evening, and even then they didn't answer important questions about their proposed 'hearing.'

"After consulting with the union, I told the NFL that I will attend the standard meeting with the commissioner prior to possible imposition of discipline, as has been the long-term practice under the CBA, but I wouldn't participate in a newly created and non-collectively bargained pre-discipline 'hearing' that would include outside people I don't know and who would have roles in the process that the NFL wouldn't disclose."

Peterson says the NFL is acting unfair in his case.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Adrian Peterson declined to show up to a disciplinary hearing on Friday that he had said last week he was willing to participate in.

Peterson has been on the Commissioner’s Exempt List since he was indicted for injuring his 4-year-old son.

With his no contest plea and legal issue resolved, Peterson wants the NFL to let him play.

The NFL says no determination will be made until the league has had the opportunity to weigh whether Peterson’s no contest plea means he should be suspended for violating the personal-conduct policy.

NFLPA spoksman George Atallah criticized the league for its handling of Peterson.

“The League office seems more focused on creating an arbitrary disciplinary process for Adrian instead of honoring a signed agreement to remove him from the Commissioner’s list,” Atallah emailed Schefter. “They are simply making stuff up as they go along. They should commit their efforts to meeting us at the table to collectively bargain a new personal conduct policy.”

Rex Ryan was fined $100,000 by the league for his profane outburst last Sunday after his New York Jets snapped an eight-game losing streak with an upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In six seasons as the Jets' coach, Ryan has been fined a total of $225,000 for three separate outbursts.

Ryan was caught on camera yelling "F--- you!" to someone on the field.
