This is a personal message, now, to fans who swear such fealty to this game.

IS THIS WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT???

IS YOUR BLOODLUST SO FUCKING MAD THAT THIS OUT-OF-CONTROL CRIMINALITY ON THE FIELD IS YOUR WISH?

That is a record for fines in one week, and it's probably not even close for second-place.

26 players, from 15 teams.

TWO HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

That's over $440,000 in fines for dirty bullshit in TWO WEEKS.  You guys that suck the dicks of this game at the expense of everything, and I'm pointing especially at a Seahag fan in San Diego that's under my skin right now (nice helmet shot by your motherfucker, by the by!!)...

The Ravens-Eagles game had five fines.
The Giants-Buccaneers game had four fines, three on the Giants.
The Rams-Redskins game had four.
The Vikings-Colts game had four.

It's got to stop, and letters to the teams isn't going to fucking do it.  Flags might, ejections might, team fines might, suspensions probably will.

The games are out of control, the replacement refs have zero respect from the league, and the games simply have to be stopped or forfeited if this bullshit is going to continue.

That is thirty-eight players fined for dangerous hits (and one uniform violation) in two weeks.  (Shockingly, no repeat offenders.)

Of the 32 teams, 17 have already received fines.

This ain't the replacement refs -- though about the only thing they have left in their arsenal is The Thumb.  And they are abjectly negligent in not doing so.

This is the criminality in the league, the thug nature of the players, the coaches who needle this on in the name of intensity, and a sport and fandom so fucking drunk on this stuff that it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed!

And he'll be a martyr for The Game, right???

EDIT:

(Phillips' fine was appealed successfully in Week 11, but Week 2 was still ridiculous!)
