Fine (And Suspension!) Blotter, Week Three, Part One

Yep, we have our first on-field suspension of 2012, and it's exactly the hit you thought it was...

• Denver Broncos:  Joe Mays was fined $50,000 and suspended for one game for a helmet-to-helmet hit that ripped off part of the ear of Houston's Matt Schaub.

Mays is appealing.  Good luck on that one.

This makes Mays the league's first TWO-TIME LOSER, and, hence, especially after there was another roughing penalty on the previous play, should've gotten Mays 4-6 games, in my personal opinion.

Total NFL fines, and we're just starting the week three list:  $549,900

I'd say, between the debacles in Baltimore and Seattle, we're going to be lucky if we aren't well over a million by the time Week Four convenes in earnest.
