EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants center Shaun O’Hara has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for a scuffle with Eagles defensive end Trent Cole at the end of Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.

O’Hara, who plans to appeal, appeared to stiff-arm Cole in the facemask in the closing seconds of the Eagles’ 45-38 win. Cole retaliated by throwing a couple of punches.
O’Hara said Cole was also fined $15,000. Cole was not immediately available for comment.
“I know that it was a very physical game and there was a lot going on, a lot of things that escalated up to that point,” O’Hara said. “One thing I’ll say is I’m always going to stick up for myself and stick up for my teammates. There was certainly a lot of pushing and shoving, but I felt the pushing and shoving was going both ways until it escalated.”
The Giant expected to be fined, but he said he was surprised by the amount. He also was stunned that Cole got the same amount because the defensive end grabbed his facemask, pulled him down, and punched him.
O’Hara said his appeal probably won’t be heard until February. He isn’t very hopeful he will win.
“My Christmas presents are going to be a little bit smaller this year,” he quipped.
