Turkeys of the Week: Week 12 Fine Blotter

  • Detroit Lions:  Ndamukong Suh -- AGAIN.  THREE TIME LOSER this season..  This one was NOT for a hit, though.  $7,875 for a throat-slash.  That's almost $140,000 for Suh this year.  (The fine even drew a sigh from the nfl.com article.)
  • Pittsburgh Steelers:  William Gay:  $15,750 for a hit to the facemask.
  • Houston Texans: Antonio Smith:  Back in the blotter after his preseason suspension:  $15,750 for nailing Chad Henne in the head or neck.  TWO-TIME LOSER.
  • Miami Dolphins:  Cameron Wake:  $15,750 for similar to Cam Newton.
  • Chicago Bears:  Two $7,875 fines for an altercation vs. St. Louis.  Kyle Long got one.
  • Chicago Bears:  And Tony Fiammetta got the other $7,875 fine.
  • New Orleans Saints:  Cameron Jordan, $10,000 for roughing the passer.
  • NOT FINED THIS WEEK, per the NFL.com article:  Aldon Smith, apparently kicking RGIII in the nuts is not fineable.  (OR he didn't kick him "down there"...)  And Chris Long of the Rams left the bench during the altercation in which the two Bears were fined.  Apparently, he didn't involve himself in said altercation. 
  • And team fines:  Detroit, $7,875, Houston $15,750
And that appears to be all..  Ugh.
