Fine Blotter: Week Six, Part Two: The Rest of the Rap Sheet

So, it's an NFL season Friday, and you know what that means...

On top of Suh's $63,000:
  • Green Bay Packers:  Jermichael Finley:  $15,750 for another defenseless-player rule on Terrell Suggs of the Ravens.  (And, the sooner, Mr. Finley, that it can no longer be considered "playing football" to do what you were considered to have done, the better it will be for you and for other players.
  • New Orleans Saints:  Malcolm Jenkins:  $15,750, same thing on New England's Kembrell Tompkins.
  • Dallas Cowboys:  Cameron Lawrence, $21,000 for an illegal blindside hit.  The hit on Washington's David Amerson was not flagged.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  Vontaze Burfict is a TWO-TIME LOSER, and he's fortunate it wasn't for more.  He was flagged twice for late hits on Sunday, neither was fined.  He WAS, however, fined $7,875 for a face mask.  One has to wonder, at that point, why Burfict was not expelled from the contest!!!
  • Washington Redskins:  Perry Riley:  $15,750 for a late hit/roughing the passer on Tony Romo.
  • New England Patriots:  Brandon Spikes:  $10,500 for a uniform violation on his shoes.  He is now a TWO-TIME LOSER -- consecutive weeks on uniform violations.
  • Arizona Cardinals:  Alameda Ta'amu:  $10,000 for kicking in the face...
  • San Francisco 49ers:  Alex Boone:  who retaliated to the tune of $7,875.
  • Arizona Cardinals:  Darnell Dockett:  $7,875 for a late hit in the same 49er game.  TWO-TIME LOSER, two in three weeks!
  • Tennessee Titans:  Michael Preston:  $7,875 for an out-of-bounds forearm to the head of Golden Tate of the Seahawks.  Preston, maybe or maybe not unrelatedly, is no longer with the Titans.  (That's only $7,875 -- a late hit forearm to the head out of bounds????)
Those were all from the NFL.com posting of the week.
  • Chicago Bears:  Brandon Marshall:  $10,500 for the aforementioned green shoes for Mental Health Awareness Week.
Appears to be about it for the time being.

 Total so far:  $163,250
Lions $-$:      $31,500

$194,750 for this week.

Putting us, by my spreadsheet, just short of $2,000,000 for the year.  (Spreadsheet has $1,982,125)

Also, six weeks into the season, the number of teams not fined at all under the Player Remittance Policy numbers...  four.

Minnesota is the only NFC team.
Denver, Kansas City, and ....

OAKLAND!!!  Sorry, but that just comes across as unbelievable to me.  Let me check the Google here...

Nope.  None of the four teams, by anything I saw on Google, have been fined this year.
