NFL Week Nine Fine Blotter, Starting With The "That Ain't Right!" of the Week

  • Arizona Cardinals:  Chandler Jones, $10,300 -- not sure if they declared this a celebration foul for enticing or it's a uniform violation, or both...
This one ain't fucking right, NFL...

Jones was fined for raising his jersey and showing a T-shirt honoring Freddie Joe Nunn -- on the quarterback sack Jones broke Nunn's record with!!

NO.

FUCKING.  NO.

I'm sorry.  I'm a stickler for shit.  I am.

But there are times and places, and this should've been bowed to...
  • Chicago Bears:  Cassius Marsh:  $5.972 for that garbage taunting call -- because if it was taunting, then he should've been fined and tossed for roughing the passer AND contacting the official.
  • And why would the NFL punish Tony Corrente?  He got them the result they wanted.  A Fantastic Finish (tm) and a Steelers win!
  • And, oh gee, you think the NFL didn't show on Sunday how bad the Steelers are when the refs don't have themselves in the Steelers' pockets??
  • Las Vegas Raiders:  In what ESPN reports as the largest on-field fine for a single incident in over two years, Denzel Perryman was fined $55,000 for unnecessary roughness, use of the helmet on a Jalen Hurts running play -- which was not flagged.  It sounds like he got not only a second offense for the helmet, he got additional for roughness as well.  According to Spotrac, Perryman's last fine was in 2016 -- so there's no way that could be a repeat-offender...  Gee, you think messages are being sent here??   
  • The largest recent on-field NFL fine for one game was a teammate, Johnathan Abrams, who drew $80,000 for multiple incidents in a game last year.
  • Cleveland Browns:  Jordan Elliott, $11,586 for two unnecessary roughness fouls,, at least one of them reported as fighting.
  • Los Angeles Rams:  Jalen Ramsey gets the latest $10,300 taunting call.
  • New Orleans Saints:  Kwon Alexander, $6,264 for taunting.
  • Indianapolis Colts:  E. J. Speed, $5,124 for taunting.
Judge for yourself:
I can.  You stood over the guy, hands on hips.  They just really need to make the taunting rule ANY NON-FOOTBALL ACT in denigration of a player on the other team.  SHUT THE FUCK UP, PAY YOUR FUCKING FINE, GET BACK TO YOUR HUDDLE.   
  • New York Giants:  Keion Crossen, $6,133 for a late hit.
