2018 NFL Week 16 Fine Blotter: SHIT... Why is Edelman not suspended???

• New England Patriots:  Julian Edelman

Wow.  First off, I think the refs should be fined for this one.  

I've heard a lot of talk about fining the refs for "bad calls", and wanting to tell these Twitter trolls the concept of how bad the NFL rigs games.

This is something different.

First question is why Julian Edelman was not ejected from this contest.

Second question is why Julian Edelman is going to play in Week 17 or the Patriots' first playoff game...

Reason?

He got fined for blocking after calling a fair catch.  That got him $10,026, and he's a repeat offender from September for that.

He also got fined for two additional crack-back blocks for $26,739 each.

So, and every dollar on the Patriots number, Edelman was fined $63,504.

And the Patriots get fined $50,000, as that big number puts them well over the Level 1 threshold.

But why the fuck is Edelman not suspended one game, or even TWO?

FOUR-TIME LOSER, double repeat-offender.  Should've been fined well over $100,000...  The $63K was probably because of what he makes, because the true fine he should've gotten from the NFL fine schedule is north of $130,000!!!

$53,478 twice over, and $26,739 -- that, by my match, is over $133,000, which would've meant $126,000 on the Pats number, $75,000 in fines for the team, and an additional about $3,000 in dollar for dollar.

But you could be the New York Jets here.  And this should've gotten the coach suspended for the finale at minimum...

• New York Jets:  Head Coach Todd Bowles:  $25,000 for criticism of officials
• Bowles will be fired after Sunday's game.
• New York Jets:  Leonard Williams:  TWO-TIME LOSER same game:  $43,449 for an unnecessary roughness and an unsportsmanlike conduct.
• New York Jets:  Trent Cannon:  $26,739 for unnecessary roughness
• New York Jets:  Darryl Roberts:  $26,739 for unnecessary roughness as well.

That's ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS.

Every penny of which counts against the Jets number.

That shoots them not only into Level 2 ($25,000), but an additional $91,137 past the Level 2 -- so that's dollar-for dollar.

Meaning, when we are all done, the Jets alone have been fined, individually and as a team, just for the game against the Packers:

TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND AND SIXTY-FOUR DOLLARS.

And no one is suspended.

Your system doesn't work, shithead Goodell.  I just outlined about $350,000 in fines just this week and just to four players, a coach, and their teams...

And that's not all!!

• Cleveland Browns:  Baker Mayfield:  $10,026 for the crotch chop to his offensive coordinator.

He's lucky he's playing this week!

Another repeat offender fine, and the person involved is no surprise:

• Houston Texans:  Jadaevon Clowney:  $40,110 for repeat offender horse-collar (ruled as roughing the passer) on Philly QB Nick Foles.  Back to back weeks for roughing the passer fines.  THREE-TIME LOSER

Houston has four fines, by current count.  Clowney has three of them.

And a brawl in the 49er-Bear game...

• Chicago Bears:  Josh Bellamy (a TWO-TIME LOSER as a wide receiver!!)
• Chicago Bears:  Anthony Miller
• Chicago Bears:  Marcell Harris
• San Francisco 49ers:  and Richard Sherman, all $10,026 for unnecessary roughness.

Bellamy, Miller, and Sherman were all tossed for the fight.  Harris was fined for the hit that started it, another ejection-level cheapie free shot on the quarterback.

And the Sherman fine puts the 49ers over the number (for now with the Exum appeal):  $50,000 fine for that accumulation.

A name we (thankfully) haven't heard from in a while...

• Dallas Cowboys:  Randy Gregory:  $20,054 for roughing the passer.

And that's another team over the Level 1 threshold.  $50,000 fine for the 'Boys.

Another multiple-time loser:

• Jacksonville Jaguars:  Telvin Smith:  $10.026 for taunting. 

And that fine is also a team fine, as Jacksonville is over the limit.

And, rounding out the NFL.com list -- a couple names we've been hearing a LOT about over the years:

• Washington Redskins:  Josh Norman, versus
• Tennessee Titans:  Taylor Lewan:  $10,026 each for a verbal spat.  That's TWO-TIME LOSER for Lewan.

And one more for now...

• New Orleans Saints:  Josh Hill:  $20,054 for a horse collar.

So that's:

Base fines:  $345,857
Patriots L1:  $50,000
Jets L2:       $116,137 -- meaning the Jets were fined nearly a quarter-million this week
Cowboys L1:  $50,000
SF L1:            $50,000

And there may be more, but that's a total of SIX HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR DOLLARS.

Your system doesn't work, Goodell.  Ejections, suspensions, docking wins, NOW!
