November 17, 2005 posted under: Ahmad Carroll, Packers As if drawing 11 penalties in nine games isn’t bad enough, Ahmad Carroll is now looking at a possible fine from coach Sherman for his conduct during Green Bay’s 33-25 victory over the Falcons. I missed this in the highlights, but after stripping the ball from Roddy […]
