Fine Blotter Week Three Part Three: Belichick Pays the Piper, and the player fines start

• New England Patriots:  Bill Belichick fined $50,000 for his tirade.
• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Ryan Mundy is fined $21,000 for a helmet-to-chin injurious (concussion and strained neck) knockout blow to Oakland's Darius Heyward-Bey.  The hit was not flagged.

But the message has gotten across:  THE REAL REFEREES HAVE A DEAL, and they will be back for tomorrow night's game.  Confirmed by the NFL.

That said, the season has been irreparably tarnished anyway.  The league would effectively have to rig most of the rest of the season to pay back some of the teams who have been damaged, and two wrongs don't make a right.

And how many people actually believe that they will be able to jump right in to a regular-season environment and keep the players under control.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

$146,000 this week so far.

44 people have been fined, including four coaches.

$645,750 is the charity toteboard so far this year.

It was so bad last week that a Vegas casino (The D, the former Fitzgeralds) is REFUNDING all Packer bets for Monday night's stupidity from their casino.
