Flowery Branch, Ga. ? As if the loss of Michael Vick wasn’t enough, the winless Atlanta Falcons are dealing with another distraction involving a high-profile player.

Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall said Wednesday he had been fined $100,000 by the team and may have to sit out one or two quarters of the next game for his meltdown last week against the Carolina Panthers.

Hall wasn’t pleased with the decision and plans to appeal through the NFL Players Association.
