OK, been a bit lax... The last two weeks' Fine Blotters...

Was in Vegas this weekend.  Had great time until the little shit on the Greyhound trip home (and the bus breaking down on the way over and the fire which caused a 25-mile traffic jam (2 hour delays each way!) on the way back...).

Will have an article about that in a bit.

But some stuff I have to catch up on.

Week 7:

• Chicago Bears with two uniform violations for $10,500 each for orange cleats:  Brandon Marshall and Earl Bennett.
• Arizona Cardinals:  Rashad Johnson, $21,000 for an illegal blindside block against the Vikings.
• St. Louis Rams:  Cortland Finnegan:  $7,875 for a facemask on Jordy Nelson of the Packers.
• Baltimore Ravens:  Bernard Pollard:  same fine, same penalty, against the Texans.
• Detroit Lions:  Alphonso Smith:  $15,750 for a horse-collar of Chicago's aforementioned Brandon Marshall.
• Ndokamung Suh was NOT fined for his hit on Jay Cutler.  (Nor, IMODO, even with Suh's reputation, should he have been.)
• Carolina Panthers:  Charles Godfrey:  $7,875 for a chop-block against the Cowboys.  This makes Godfrey a TWO-TIME LOSER.
• Washington Redskins:  Tyler Polumbus:  $7,875 for a leg-whip against the Giants.
• San Francisco 49ers:  Dashon Goldson:  $7,875 for taunting the Seahags.

A couple I had to add from NFL.com...

Week 8:

• Earlier in the season, it was announced that week that the Rams were fined $20,000 for not disclosing Stephen Jackson's injury against the Redskins.  (Gee, after a weekend in Vegas, I wonder why???)
• New York Giants:  Chris Canty:  $15,750 for roughing the passer (Tony Romo of the Cowboys).
• Oakland Raiders:  Richard Seymour:  $15,750 for roughing the passer (Matt Cassel of the Chiefs).
• Chicago Bears:  Chris Conte:  $21,000 for a hit to the head on Carolina's Brandon LaFell.
• New York Jets:  Marcus Dowtin:  $15,750 for roughing the passer (Matt Moore of the Dolphins).
• Tennessee Titans:  Mike Martin:  $15,750 for...  you guessed it!!!  Roughing the Passer!  (Andrew Luck of the Colts).
• Miami Dolphins:  Jonathan Martin:  $10,000 for excessive chipping and clipping against the Jets.
• Minnesota Vikings:  Jared Allen:  $7,875 for fighting...
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers:  Donald Penn, who got the same fine.
• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Antonio Brown:  $10,000 for taunting, as he ran the last 25 yards (last fine of the list has an animated GIF of it, and, again, that forum is the source for these lists, Footballsfuture.com NFL News Forums) of a touchdown punt return backwards.  The return was nullified with another penalty.
