Along with the previously-mentioned Suh fine:
- Another fine in week one was undrafted Jacksonville rookie Mike Lockley, dinged $20,000 for his fourth-quarter hit against the Patriots...
- The Ochocinco hit (the second already against the Patriots) previously referenced has drawn Mason Foster a $20,000 fine by the league, and a warning for 85 not to reimburse him.
- Denver's Rahim Moore got a $20,000 fine for an illegal hit vs. Buffalo.
Mr. Goodell, these players want to maim each other and wreak havoc off the field.
They want to be able to injure each other, and anyone else in their way. If I were Commissioner, Britt would be sitting quite a while -- he has had SEVEN brushes with the law in the last 2+ years. Goodell met with him for resisting arrest, evading an officer (both over a 71 in a 50 ticket), another resisting arrest charge over a possible marijuana situation (for which he still faces a court date in about a month)...
No, Mr. Britt, that is NOT "22 years old and coming into the league and things happen!" I'd sit your ass for 2-4 games as things stand now, and if they can prove you had the Mary Jane, another 4 under the drug policy, whether or not it's your first offense.
And Talib doesn't play til that's resolved -- the league can pay his salary if he's found innocent.
I'm putting together a Fair Play table this year -- I want to track the fines, suspensions, major penalties, etc. I'm really beginning to think who wins the Lombardi Trophy may come down to who sees the least of Commissioner Goodell.
