  • Oakland Raiders:  Aaron Curry is a MULTIPLE-TIME LOSER this week, a total of $23,625 for multiple actions against the Baltimore Ravens.  It's his third run-in with the league office in 13 months, and came in the first game Curry played this season.
  • Denver Broncos:  Von Miller:  $21,000 for trying to take out Cam Newton of the Panthers below the knees.
  • Denver Broncos:  Kevin Vickerson:  $15,000 for horse-collaring the same player.  Someone was trying to eliminate Cam Newton for a few weeks.

  • New England Patriots with a third:  Jerod Mayo, $10,000 for a late hit against C.J. Spiller of the Bills.  The third TWO-TIME LOSER of the week.
  • Miami Dolphins:  In a fine that should surprise nobody, the second-dirtiest player in the league, Richie Incognito:  $10,000 for a late hit against Tennessee.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  Ray Maualuga:  $15,750 for unnecessary roughness against the Giants.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars:  Dawan Landry:  $10,000 for a late hit in the Indianapolis game.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars:  Terrance Knighton:  $25,000 for a late hit against the Colts.
  • Minnesota Vikings:  Jasper Brinkley:  $21,000 for a shot to the head against the Lions.  That's a total of four TWO-TIME LOSERs this week.
  • And a referee even!!  Tony Corrente lost his game check (about $9,000) for swearing into an open mic.
Footballsfuture.com forums the source.  (ESPN on the ref one.)

14 players (and 1 referee), about $265,250.

So far.

And you guys really want me to buy the "player safety is important" initiative...  REALLY...
