It's Fine Friday, so more love letters from the league to the performers...

  • Green Bay Packers:  Datone Jones is a TWO-TIME LOSER:  $36,464 for roughing the passer.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  TWO-TIME LOSER, in the same game, for Shawn Williams:  $33,124 for a facemask and a spearing foul.  I thought spearing was an automatic TOSS!
  • Cincinnati Bengals:  Dre Kirkpatrick:  $18,231 for a horse-collar tackle.
Those three from NFL.com and their weekly fine report, so time to go digging...
  • According to Spotrac, the Trent Williams suspension will cost him more than $2.5 million!
  • AND it voids an $11 million guarantee for next season.  Only question now is it still appears that the four remaining years might be $20M in dead cap space, otherwise, he's done in Washington.
All right, back to Twitter to see what we find:
  • A THIRD Cincinnati Bengal fine this week:  Marquis Flowers:  $9,115 for unnecessary roughness.  That's half the number ($60,470) needed to get the $50,000 team fine, and Burfict already has another $50,000 toward that number. 
  • The referee hug which drew a 15-yard penalty on Earl Thomas of the Seahawks will not be fined.
  • Another Arizona Cardinal fine for trying to take out Cam Newton:  Rodney Gunter gets $18,231 in the continuing effort to cripple the league's Great Black Hope.
  • Carolina Panthers:  Leonard Johnson, $9,115 for probable retaliation against the Arizona quarterback.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars:  Jalen Ramsey, $9,115 for unnecessary roughness, should be more.  TWO-TIME LOSER in consecutive weeks -- was tossed against the Raiders for a fight. ($30,387, per the league list)
  • Jacksonville Jaguars:  Dante Fowler, $9,115, same offense.
  • You knew the league was going to get the Raiders good for that 23-penalty situation:  Karl Joseph, $24,309 for roughness.
  • Oakland Raiders:  Donald Penn:  $18,231 for roughness.
  • Oakland Raiders:  Michael Crabtree:  $9,115 for taunting.
  • Detroit Lions:  Tavon Wilson:  $24,309 for roughness.
  • Buffalo Bills:  Nickell Rickey-Coleman:  $18,231 for roughness.
A number of the last several were from WBAY in Green Bay.

That's $254,000+ I got this week so far.
