DETROIT -- Kerry Hyder looked up what a fine for roughing the passer might cost him in the NFL and saw that the penalty, $18,231, was more than any paycheck hed ever earned in his life.Then came the call from his agent.The NFL was fining Hyder for his hit on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron on Aug. 18. The fine turned out to be for the exact amount that he had looked up -- and more than three times the $6,000 he would make the entire preseason.You know, I was a little hurt, Hyder told ESPN on Thursday night. Its definitely a bigger number than Ive ever made myself, so I hope we can figure something out with that, because as you know I havent made an active roster or anything.So its tough for me.Hyder, 25, said he is letting his agent handle the appeal process. The collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players association allows for fines to be reduced or appealed based on potential earnings this season.Hyder did all he could to try to make the team Thursday against the Bills, starting at defensive end and picking up three sacks in a 31-0 win. Hes somewhat of a long shot to make Detroits roster at a deep position, but his performance in the last preseason game could help him out. Last year, he had three fumble recoveries in the preseason finale against Buffalo and was cut.Hyder was on the New York Jets practice squad in 2014 and the Lions practice squad in 2015 before being called up for the final game of last season with the Lions. Hyders one-game check from last season, after taxes, would have approached the number he was fined for the roughing penalty.On appeal, a player may assert, among other defenses, that any fine should be reduced because it is excessive when compared to the players expected earnings for the season in question, the CBA states. However, a fine may be reduced on this basis only if it exceeds 25 percent of one week of a players salary for a first offense, and 50 percent of one week of a players salary for a second offense.Hyder was looking at it another way Thursday night. If he ends up having to pay the full fine, it might be for a very good reason.That means I made the 53-man roster, you know, Hyder said. Maybe its a blessing in disguise, so Im just trying not to worry about it, and Ill see what happens.Ill go through the whole process and see what happens. Swell Vattenflaska .

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.

CANCUN, Mexico -- After getting off to a terrible start, Texas Tech coach Chris Beard knew the first possession of the second half carried extra significance.Zach Smith turned it into a highlight, game-shifting dunk and Anthony Livingston took over from there.Livingston had 28 points and nine rebounds, Smith scored 21 points and Texas Tech rallied to rout Utah State 75-51 Wednesday night in a consolation game of the Cancun Challenge.Texas Tech cut a 12-point first-half deficit to 32-30 at halftime when Beard drew up a play for Smith. Keenan Evans delivered a high pass toward the rim and Smith kept climbing. His emphatic slam brought the crowd to its feet.Hes a special player, with his athleticism. He can play in another part of the air space, Beard said. Sometimes a team will be playing good fundamental defense, but you throw the ball above a rim where other guys cant get it.It ignited a dominant 45-22 second half that included a game-ending 19-1 run.That was a well-drawn up play by the coaches. It got us going, Livingston said. The whole bench jumped up, the crowd got going and we feed off of that. We definitely needed that at the time.Livingston hit 5 of 9 3-pointers and Smith had four dunks on his way to hitting 9 of 10 shots. The Red Raiders (4-1) took third place in the Riviera Division despite finding out about an hour before tipoff that starter Aaron Ross (right leg) couldnt play.Ross scored 17 points Tuesday night in a semifinal loss to Auburn.Jalen Moore scored 15 of his 21 points in the first half for the Aggies (3-2), who raced to a 24-12 lead before fading in their second straight loss.I thought we had a great start. We played well on both ends of the floor and played with a lot of fight and played together, Utah State coach Tim Duryea said. But when the momentum swung at the end of the first half, we missed some shots and that mentality carried over to the defensive end.LIVINGSTON RESPONDSLivingston hit 10 of 16 shots after managing three points on 1-of-8 shooting a night earlier.ddddddddddddThat was probably one of the most disappointing nights in his playing career as was one of the most disappointing nights in my coaching career, Beard said. We had some real truth-telling sessions last night and this morning trying to get our team back on the same page and I thought Anthony really responded like a senior is supposed to.SECOND HALF DOMINANCETexas Tech shot 64.3 percent (19 of 28) in the second half while holding Utah State to 7-of-26 shooting.MOORE SLOWEDMoore started 3 of 4 from 3-point range before getting into first-half foul trouble. Beard said they changed to a more conservative defense in the second half.We changed our pick-and-roll coverages, Beard said. We had to stay on the shooter. Hes a pro.BIG PICTUREUtah State: Moore, a preseason all-Mountain West Conference selection, is clearly the go-to scorer and leader for Utah State. The Aggies collapsed offensively late in the first half without the senior on the floor and need to find other consistent options before conference play begins. Moore was also on the bench at the start of Texas Techs game-clinching 19-6 second-half run.Texas Tech: Poor starts and scoring droughts have to be concerning to Beard ahead of the SEC schedule. After a 12-minute dry spell Tuesday helped them fall behind by 19 points to Auburn in the semifinals, the Red Raiders went 8:14 without a hoop in the first half against Utah State. It took quite a while to adjust to Utah States zone, cut down on the poor passes and get better shots.UP NEXTUtah State: Will play in-state rival BYU next Wednesday in Salt Lake City.Texas Tech: Plays its next five games at home, starting Friday against Idaho State. The Red Raiders next road game is Dec. 17 at Richmond. ' ' '
