As I said yesterday, the dirty hits (and the fines) just keep on coming. I'll be surprised if this is the extent of it, but tack another 6 players (including our second two-time loser (in the same game!!)) and $72,500 to the charity kitty.
- Biggest losers of the week are the Washington Redskins, up to three players now who've caught the dreaded Fed-Ex from the league: In addition to the one from yesterday, add Rob Jackson getting dinged $15,000 for throwing Sam Bradford to the ground
- and Perry Riley, fined $15,000 for hitting a defenseless player in a punt situation
- Baltimore Ravens: Haloti Ngata gets $15,000 taken from him for a helmet hit on Mark Sanchez Monday night
- and the Oakland Raiders get a two-time loser in Richard Seymour: $15,000 between two incidents, a face-mask and another dirty hit.
- New England Patriots: Patrick Chung hit for $7,500 for unnecessary roughness
- Arizona Cardinals: Patrick Peterson: $5,000 for roughing the kicker.
What do the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, and Dallas Cowboys have in common?
According to the information I have been able to glean from various sources on the Internet, these are the only seven teams not to draw NFL fines in the first four weeks of the season.
The game is not being cleaned up, people.
