Week 7 NFL Fine Blotter: Round One begins with a correction...

I must correct one thing that I edited in the post I made before about the MNF ejection. That is not the first player this season to be tossed.

THAT honor, unless I can find one in the first six weeks, appears to go to:

• Seattle Seahawks: Red Bryant, tossed and fined for a headbutt in the "football game" with Cleveland. (That GLORIOUS 6-3 affair...) The size of the fine was not released, but he did say it was a "costly mistake" and would appeal. Given previous headbutt fines, I'm thinking we're looking $15,000-$25,000 plus a possible aggravator for the toss-ola.
• Carolina Panthers: Byron Bell: $7,500 for a facemask.
• Pittsburgh Steelers: Chris Kemoeatu SHOULD'VE BEEN SUSPENDED, catching two fines during last week's play on the same first-quarter drive: $15,000 for a late hit, and another $10,000 for a separate hands-to-the-face/face-mask situation a couple plays before. This brings the Steelers to nearly $100,000 in fines in just seven games. (Surprised? Hell, no.)
  
• Minnesota Vikings: Brian Robison: $20,000 for kicking a Packer opponent in the proverbial family jewels.

That's over $70,000, and it's only Wednesday, and we still haven't heard about Ayanbadejo's fines yet.

And as of today, Bell's fine means that only the Colts, Chiefs, and Cowboys have not been fined this season to my knowledge. I do think that's going to change, however, before the end of this week.
