Title: NFL suspends SJ for timing error
Post by: cbrunnjo on October 16, 2015, 07:32:10 AM: The NFL suspends SJ for timing error in the Monday Night Game.
I always thought the LJ was in charge of the clock...

I think singling him out for this is a bit of a shame, though - everyone on the crew has some responsibility for the clock, just like everyone on the crew has responsibility for being sure that penalties are enforced correctly.

Someone signaled for the clock to be stopped so why didn't he come in and have a conference to add time back on. Then all would have been good.

He was suspended with pay

But if he doesn't work a game because he was suspended, doesn't that mean he doesn't get paid?

Nope. Suspended with pay equates to a paid vacation.
