>> Do you drive on Maryland’s toll roads without an E-Z Pass and sometimes find yourself tempted by the shorter lines to get through the automatic lanes? Don’t sweat it, because state authorities are way behind on collecting unpaid tolls owed by people who sail through the E-Z Pass lanes without the requisite transponder, the Post reports.

And while the state is empowered to hit the delinquent drivers with $50 fines in addition to collecting the tolls, it doesn’t.

Doesn’t sound like the best idea, but that’s what Redskins long snapper Nick Sundberg did on Sunday when he broke his arm during the first half and stayed in the game, setting up four more punts before realizing the intense pain late in the third quarter. At that point, Sundberg asked quarterback Robert Griffin III to do what he could to avoid any more punts, NBC4 reports.
