NFL players say the darndest things sometimes, especially when confronted with discipline by the league. The NFL recently docked Washington cornerback Josh Norman $25,000 for saying that field judge Brad Freeman "sucked," was "terrible," and "should be reprimanded" by the league for his work in London on October 30. Washington enjoyed its bye week Sunday giving Norman an opportunity to instead appear on Fox's studio show, where he said he would appeal the fine, which is the third levied against him in 2016.Nothing out of the ordinary was said during his visit to the set, but after his team returned to practice Monday morning, Norman had a chance to respond to follow-up questions by media covering the team. One reporter asked Norman if he was considering changing anything about his approach, be it in the media or on the field. After all, he seemed to have the league's attention in a bad way:"[Officials] are [looking for me] but at the same time, what am I going to change? My aggressiveness? My bestiality when I'm out there? What? Like, no!"That's an all-time malaprop.Norman obviously misspoke and was not talking about schtupping animals, which is definitely a penalty. He probably instead wanted to transform "beast mode" or "being a beast on the field" into some kind of fun adjective that describes his preferred mode of aggressive and physical play. Bestiality is…not that. If Norman didn't realize that before, well, someone has probably let him know by now.Josh Norman, despite all the penalties, won't change his "beastiality" on the field. #Redskins return. https://t.co/cYy5WK1KD1 pic.twitter.com/EQMjyJah3i
