Fine Blotter Collation Through 11 Weeks

Been doing a bit of updating of past posts to include two-time losers, any appeals I found successful on the Net, etc. and so forth.

So here's what we have so far, through 11 weeks (nothing from the week just concluded has been added):

I have been able to locate 131 fines the NFL has given out in the 2012-13 season.  (This does not include pre-season fines, nor game checks lost from suspensions.

The NFL players (and several coaches, and a referee) have given up effectively TWO MILLION DOLLARS of their salaries in NFL fines.

The total is a staggering $1,992,875 -- we will go over $2,000,000 with the Suh fine this week.

Though there have been no three-or-more time losers, there are ten players who have already been fined twice by the league:
  • Ed Reed of the Ravens
  • Aaron Curry of the Raiders, all in his first game back and his third offense with the league in two years
  • Jerod Mayo of the Patriots
  • Jasper Brinkley of the Vikings
  • Michael Griffin of the Titans
  • Charles Godfrey of the Panthers
  • Robert Quinn of the Rams
  • Jason Babin of the Eagles
  • Joe Mays of the Broncos
  • and, technically, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie of the Eagles
There's two other things I look for at this point in the season:

The team fined the most times, and any team or teams that have not been fined at all by the league.

The rogue's gallery is led by two surprising teams:  The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots have been fined eight times each by the National Football League.  The Baltimore Ravens have been fined seven.

By contrast, the league's reputed dirtiest team for many years, the Oakland Raiders, have only drawn three fines from the NFL this year.

And every team in the National Football League has been fined at least once this year.
