Week 4:
- Carolina Panthers: Steve Smith: Was fined for post-game criticism of the officiating -- fines of this ilk are usually $21,000 or so.
Week 6:
- Arizona Cardinals: Tyrann Mathieu: $7,875 for slamming an opponent to the ground.
- San Francisco 49ers: Anthony Davis: $15,750 for clipping. TWO-TIME LOSER.
And the first/second one for this week:
- New England Patriots: Logan Ryan: $10,000 for grabbing his crotch during a mid-air celebration of an interception.
As of right now, the total, by my spreadsheet, is $2,055,375 -- not counting the accumulated drug-suspension fines from earlier. This is just on the Player Safety stuff.
So, Grabbing your crotch is more of a fine than slamming your opponent to the ground.
ReplyDeleteAnd bitching about the referees doing their jobs poorly is worth more than trying to take out an opposing player's knee.
Yeah, Player Safety issues are HUGE priorities... *shakes head*
Why do you think I put the Blotters here?
ReplyDeleteEven with as much as the NHL is doing, they could do more, as the current situation in Buffalo attests...
I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so frustrating, that sometimes it just has to be said, or in this case, typed.
