Dashon Goldson will be able to play this week.
Matt Burke heard the appeal, and has reduced the suspension to the same fine Ndamukong Suh got, $100,000...
HOW MANY MORE IS THIS GOING TO TAKE, especially given the news out of New Jersey this week from that high school kid who died...
This guy, Mr Burke:
- Has more personal fouls than anyone in the league since 2010 (15).
- He has at least eight Player Safety fines in that period
- He has four Player Safety fines (a roughing the passer, and three helmet hits of various types) in the last seven games.

Sounds like we've got a couple biggies to start the week too, as the Supplemental Discipline decisions are coming down, and there are at least three more:
- Tennessee Titans: Bernard Pollard, fined $42,000 for hitting Andre Johnson in the head/neck (defenseless player rule). Johnson got a concussion from that one. Johnson received a concussion on the hit. Pollard becomes the second (after Goldson) TWO-TIME LOSER -- two weeks into the season! Forearm to the facemask causing a whiplash into the ground for a concussion of an airborne receiver. Appears to also follow through the forearm to accelerate the head into the ground.
- Houston Texans: Kareem Jackson, $42,000 for another illegal hit. That's Jackson's first this year -- but he had a similar penalty for $20,000 in Week 16!! Meaning, that's two in four games.
- The Buccaneers' team will be fined too, depending on how much the total fines over the course of the season are. (I'd have to think the Lions and Texans are about down the same boat)
- Washington Redskins: Brandon Merriweather, another $42,000 for the hit to Eddie Lacy in the head against Green Bay - that knocked Lacy out of the game with a concussion.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS?
