Daron Payne Shares His Regret After Suspension for Punching Amon-Ra St. Brown
Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne might not have taken the correct lesson from his one-game suspension for punching Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Payne’s one-game ban is up this week, and he addressed the incident on Wednesday with the media. When asked what he learned from the incident, the defensive tackle kept it simple.
“I just know, next time, just do it in the moment instead of wait after the play,” Payne said. “Just do it in the moment.”
Payne was suspended for punching St. Brown, seemingly without provocation. Video later emerged showing that St. Brown instigated the whole thing, but officials missed his role in the situation because Payne waited a bit to retaliate.
St. Brown was ultimately fined for the incident, but Payne definitely got the harsher punishment. On the other hand, officials are always more likely to see the retaliation than the start of the incident. That happened to Jalen Ramsey as well.
Payne is in his eighth NFL season. He has 35 career sacks, but just one this season.
Kylie Kelce torches Cowboys ahead of Thanksgiving clash with Chiefs
Kylie Kelce is showing some love to “Uncle Trav” while getting her digs in at the beloved birds’ NFC East rival, the Cowboys.
Kelce implored fans not to root for the Cowboys during their upcoming Thanksgiving Day game against the Chiefs, which also happens to be the team that her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, plays for.
The beloved member of the Kelce clan was speaking on her podcast “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce” when she also took aim at the Cowboys’ status as “America’s team.”
“Don’t root for the Cowboys and do root for the Chiefs. Let’s go, Uncle Trav,” she said. “Also, I’m so sick of the idea that the Cowboys are America’s team. So, they can kiss my ass and, you guessed it, get f–ked.”

The Cowboys have long held the moniker of “America’s team,” dating back to 1978 when it was first coined by NFL Films producer Bob Ryan for a highlight package.
It was narrated by legendary NFL Films voice John Facenda for a highlight reel of the 1978 season.
“The Cowboys are the Notre Dame of professional football. No matter where they play, their fans are there to greet them. Their faces are recognized by fans all across this country. The sum total of their stars are a galaxy. They are the Dallas Cowboys… America’s Team,” he said in the clip, per Bleacher Report.
Kelce’s rooting interest in the game also stems from the fact that the Chiefs will be playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

Travis Kelce is the brother of Kylie Kelce’s husband, Eagles great Jason Kelce.
During the podcast, she made sure to give Travis his due after he broke the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown record with his 21-yard touchdown catch during their 22-19 loss to the Broncos in Week 11.
“That is an unbelievable feat,” she said. “Something that will be very difficult to get dethroned from.”
