Week One Dirty Hits Digest/Fine Blotter, Part Two...

  • Houston Texans:  Antonio Smith:  $21,000 $11,000 for kicking Richie Incognito of the Dolphins.
  • Washington Redskins got two this week:  DeJon Gomes:  $8,000 for a headshot to Darren Sproles of the Saints.
  • And Madieu Williams is $21,000 lighter for a helmet-to-helmet on Jimmy Graham in the same game.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  Taylor Mayes:  $21,000 for a dirty hit on Ed Dickson of the Eagles.
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  Shawn Draughn was fined $7,875 for a face-mask against the Falcons.
  • Denver Broncos:  Rahim Moore gets $21,000 for a dirty hit in his game against the Steelers.
  • Minnesota Vikings:  Everson Griffen is $15,000 poorer for roughing the passer on Blaine Gabbert of the Jaguars.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  Jason Babin:  $15,750 for roughing the passer on Brandon Weeden of the Browns -- slamming him to the ground.
  • Miami Dolphins:  Mike Pouncey, the center, gets $7,875 for a cheapie against the Houston Texans.
I say this every week, but it may be becoming more true than I want it to be:  If players are that interested in giving up money for committing cheap shots, I could certainly use some of it.

If you guys are that invested in dirty hits that you are willing to pay these fines, then please send me some of that money, because you certainly aren't interested in keeping it.

About $140,000, I read here, ten players on nine teams.  And there may be more.
