Week 1 2019 NFL Fine Blotter: Starting with WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

  • Cleveland Browns:  Greg Robinson was only fined $10,527 for kicking an opponent in the HEAD!  And NOTHING for the blindside block -- which the NFL now says should never have been called.  Years ago, that kick would get you damn near drummed out of the league -- amIrite, Albert Haynesworth???
  • Side note (Robinson announced that one himself, and he will appeal it):  AB is not going to be put on the Exempt List for the allegations of rape from Tuesday.  (Probably because no video of the incident has yet been found.)
  • Oakland Raiders:  In a sign of "This is WHY the rule was made!!!"  Johnathan Abram:  $28,075 for lowering his helmet -- on a play which caused an injury that ended HIS season.
  • Cleveland Browns:  Myles Garrett:  $10,527 for an open punch.
  • Cleveland Browns:  Sheldon Richardson:  $21,056 for roughing the passer.
  • Cleveland Browns:  Devaroe Lawrence:  $28,075 for verbal abuse of the official.
  • Cleveland Browns Total:  That's four fines, $70,185 for the week, and $98,260 so far for the season.  The team fine level is $147,415.  They actually skated on two other fines for the week.
  • San Francisco 49ers:  Kwon Alexander:  $28,075 for the ejection hit trying to injure Jameis Winston.
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  DeMarcus Robinson:  $10,527 for his altercation with...
  • Jacksonville Jaguars:  Myles Jack:  $10,527 for the ejection on his part -- no word on if any of the afters added to it.
  • Kansas City Chiefs:  Damien Williams:  $10,527 for his part in the scuffle.
  • Tennessee Titans:  Derrick Henry:  $10,527 for a face mask
  • New York Jets:  Henry Anderson:  $10,527 for a late hit
  • Atlanta Falcons:  Keanu Neal and
  • Atlanta Falcons:  Ricardo Allen, both $28,075 for the helmet rule.
  • It's Week 1, we already have, in Neal, our first TWO TIME LOSER of the year, BOTH $28,075 MAJORS!
  • Dallas Cowboys:  Maliek Collins:  $10,527 for unnecessary roughness.
  • Dallas Cowboys:  Tony Pollard:  $28,075 for an offensive player using helmet to initiate contact.
  • Green Bay Packers:  Tony Brown:  $28,075 for a blindside block.
  • Philadelphia Eagles:  DeSean Jackson:  $10,527 for unnecessary roughness.
BUT:
  • $98,260 for the Browns
  • $84,225 for the Falcons
  • $56,150 for the 49ers
And that's all at least part of Week 1 in the books, and keeping in mind the first $50,000 fine is at $147,415.  (Dollar for Dollar kicks in at $221,122.)

Seventeen teams have been fined for on-the-field acts, two more have been only fined for suspensions.  That's 19 teams cutting a check to the league, and we're still processing Week 1.

So far, announced fines for Week 1 total  $312,324.

That's after $263,199 in the preseason.

(About in line with the first two sets of last year.  $283K in the preseason, about $230K for Week 1.)
