Fine Blotter, Week Three, Part Four: The last round of replacement ref fines...

Source:  Footballsfuture.com NFL News forum
  • Seattle Seahawks/Seahags:  Brandon Browner fined $7,875 for throwing Packers' Greg Jennings to the ground and starting a fight between the two.  Jennings was not fined for his reaction in the clip.
  • The NFL announced two days ago that the players on the Packers WILL NOT BE FINED for their Twitter outbursts.
  • Detroit Lions:  Steven Tulloch:  $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet on Craig Stevens of the Titans.
  • Tennessee Titans: Scott Solomon:  $15,750 for a low (probably knee) shot on Matthew Stafford of the Lions.
  • Tennessee Titans:  Leroy Harris:  $10,000 for unnecessary roughness.
  • Baltimore Ravens:  Ed Reed:  $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet.   Deion Branch of the Patriots got his bell rung by that cheapie.
  • Denver Broncos:  Von Miller:  $15,750 for roughing the passer on Matt Schaub.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  Jason Babin:  $15,750 for a horse-collar tackle on Arizona's LaRod Stephens-Howling.  This makes Babin a TWO-TIME LOSER.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  Dominique Rodgers-Cromatrie:  $7,875 for hitting an opponent.  After a $21,000 pre-season fine for a cheapie on Byron Leftwich of the Steelers, that makes him a TWO-TIME LOSER.
  • Carolina Panthers:  Charles Godfrey:  $7,875 for unnecessary roughness versus Martellus Bennett of the Giants.
Surprisingly few, especially given the post-game outbursts after both national games against the referees.  So there could be even more.

$268,875 for 13 people this week so far.

That puts the yearly wastebasket at $768,625.
