Well, the first fine for week 6 that I see is one of the most ridiculous:
Yes, I can understand that there are any number of reasons you don't want cell phone usage by players, staff, officials, etc. and so forth.
But Troy Palomalu got fined $10,000 for using one last week...
... to tell his wife that he had not suffered as serious of an injury as he had feared he might have.
Look, I'm all for Fair Play and the like, and this would technically make Palomalu a two-time loser, but COME ON...
The guy suffers a head injury, and it's feared for a moment that it could be more serious, but he phones his wife to tell her that he's not hurt as badly as precautions may have made it look?
You know, for something like that, there should be a mechanism that such people be notified (especially if something emergency-level DOES happen during a game...) by the league and with permission of the league.
Yeah, I'm aware: Fair play, gambling stuff, etc. and so on and so forth.
But a little common sense, Commissioner Limpdick
