Ding-da-ding-ding TILT! The fines keep piling up, as do the dirty hits...

So, it's been 2-3 weeks now since the NFL started threatening suspensions for dirty hits.

Let's go over the list for this week, from an ESPN.com article on the fine list for the week. Please note a pattern:

1. "Defensive lineman Myron Pryor has been fined $7,500 for a fourth-quarter hit that opened a cut on Favre's chin."
2. "Patriots linebacker Gary Guyton was also fined $7,500 for his first-quarter hit Favre in last Sunday's 28-18 win." [...] "Pryor told the Boston Herald earlier this week that his helmet "slid up into Favre's chin" after he first hit the quarterback in the chest."

3. "Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison was fined $20,000 for a late hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the third time he has been fined this season for a dangerous tackle."

4. "Tennessee defensive end Jason Babin was fined $20,000 for roughing San Diego QB Philip Rivers when he unnecessarily struck Rivers in the knee area. Babin previously this season had been fined by the league."

5. "Manny Lawson was docked $12,500 for roughing the passer, using his helmet to hit Orton in the chest. Lawson is a second offender, having been fined for unnecessary roughness last December."

6. "Ahmad Brooks loses $10,000 for striking Orton in the head and neck area. It also was his second offense, the other coming last November."

7. "Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons was fined $7,500 for a late hit on Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell. He is a three-time offender, with previous incidents in September and January last season when he was with the Eagles."
   

8. "Two Raiders also were fined, including guard Robert Gallery for a late hit on Clemons that cost him $7,500."

9. "Rookie linebacker Rolando McClain was hit for a $7,500 fine for grabbing Seahawks running back Justin Forsett by the helmet in an attempt to tackle him."

So, Roger Goddell, given that he now has two three-time offenders, at least two second offenders, numerous late hits, etc., suspends...

N O B O D Y ! ! !

And is it any shock as to why?

The league THRIVES on dirty hits. For the manly nature of the bullshitters who play this game, whom we are all supposed to worship, the league needs knee shots and helmet-hits and blows to the head and all this other bullshit.

It's just like Personal Conduct Policy: If they actually enforced these edicts, there'd be no NFL. Dirty play and criminal conduct are necessary to truly be part of this league. They wouldn't have players left to play the (rigged) games.
