Fine Blotter: Catching Up

A couple of catch-ups before we get to this week's...
  • Media sources indicate Ndamukong Suh is STILL waiting for word on his appeal of his $100,000 fine from week 1.  (Still waiting as of yesterday.)
  • Week 4:  Seattle Seahawks:  Marshawn Lynch:  $5,250 for a uniform violation.
  • Week 4:  Janoris Jenkins:  $7,875 for a face mask.
Puts the base fines total for the week almost at a quarter million, and the season total at $1,730,250.

Might as well put one fine in the blotter for Week 6, but this one comes with a grimace of a different kind:
  • Chicago Bears (for Week 6):  Brandon Marshall will be fined for a uniform violation.  Amount, at this time, unknown.  Marshall wore illegal (by league rules) green shoes for Thursday night's victory over the Giants in support of National Mental Health Awareness Week -- and told the league he would do (he was originally to be banned from the field if he tried, but it was "allowed" under penalty of a fine).  Marshall will match the fine with a donation to an appropriate charity.  Gotta put it on there, because it counts under the Player Remittance Policy, but, boy, does that one suck...
