- New York Giants had two for personal fouls: Linval Joseph drew a $7,500 for sanction for his.
- while Antrel Rolle drew $15,000 for his, because that makes him a TWO-TIME LOSER.
- Minnesota Vikings: Percy Harvin: $7,500 for facemasking another player in a scuffle. He probably was ruled instigator, as the other player was not fined.
- Carolina Panthers: Legedu Naanee drew the same $7,500 fine in the same game and the same manner for a different scuffle that HE started. The Viking player who was also flagged in that scuffle was not fined.
- San Francisco 49ers: Justin Smith: $15,000 for a head/neck roughing the passer shot.
- Kansas City Chiefs had THREE players fined for illegal shoe colors: $5,000 (presumably) each for Brandon Flowers (making him a TWO-TIME LOSER), Dwayne Bowe, and Brandon Smith. They all painted their black shoes red, illegal under the rules.
- Cincinnati Bengals got two: Andre Caldwell: $5,000 for a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.
- and Domata Peko: $7,500 for a similar foul.
- New England Patriots get two: Kevin Faulk: $7,500 for a chop block.
- and Patrick Cheung: same amount for a personal foul -- which makes him a TWO-TIME LOSER. (So why is the fine not doubled, Commissioner Goodell, much less a suspension?)
- Houston Texans: Duane Brown, $7,500 for punching somebody. (Not to mention where's the thumb and a stiff additional fine?)
- St. Louis Rams: Bryan Kehl: $15,000 for violation of the Defenseless Player Rule
- and the San Diego Chargers with the last two I could find: Steve Gregory: $10,000 for a dirty hit.
- and Bront Bird: $7,500 for a late hit.
Listen, you guys: Play by the fucking rules, or if you're that dead-set on throwing away your fucking money, just send some of it to me, then, since it seems your dirty hits and rulebreaking are more important than your pocketbook.
Here's a hint why: Eight weeks into the year, only TWO teams have not received a single fine from the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys, and the Indianapolis Colts.
