Fine Blotter: Week Six, Part One: The Continuing Hypocrisy of the NFL

• Detroit Lions:  Ndamukong Suh:  $31,500 for roughing the passer.
• The Lions are already at Level 3 -- add another $31,500 to the team.

HE WAS NOT SUSPENDED.

Why do I make note of this shit?

The NFL ITSELF reported, four weeks ago, Week 2, that if Suh got another penalty from the league, it was to be with a suspension attached.

Right in it's pregame show.

I don't want to hear this shit, Goodell!!  Either start throwing thugs like Goldson and Suh out of the league, suspend the Detroit coach (the most-fined team was Baltimore last year, at about $366,000 when you add all the team fines for excessive totals), or admit that you want more blood on your hands.

Through the pre-season and six weeks of the regular year (actually, just five and Suh's fine for Week 6), the Lions are at $355,000.

START DOING SOMETHING, YOU FUCKING FRAUD.

Score Blotter Week 6 2013

Another week, another Ndamukong Suh hit being investigated by the league.

While the sun was rising in the east and setting in the west, and while a shithead south of Indianapolis was killing his son because his son needed to go home:

Week 6 average:  44.93
6 Week total average:  46.10, now only about a half point behind last year.

The Zoo Continues Unabated, Part Five: Cause of Death: Football Addiction

(Deadspin)

Some drunk, gun-loving motherfucker decided he wanted his son and he to go watch some football just south of Indianapolis on Sunday.

One look of the guy, and I'm not sure whether he's more a disciple of Roger Goodell or Sarah Palin!!

This comes to the forefront when the son wants to go home.  Tired, not feeling great, needs to get ready to go back to college (the son was 19), whatever.

The dad did not.

They did go home...

WHERE THE MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT SHOT HIS SON SIX TIMES.

HIS SON IS DEAD.

All for football.

All because he didn't wanna go home.  WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

FUCK

YOU

YOU

BITCH.

I apologize to those who expect a little more of me (and especially those who come here from my work on Brian Tuohy's site from time to time almost certainly do!!) , but some of the stuff I've seen just boggles my mind as to why we haven't basically gone Mad Max and just gotten it over with:

Just this weekend:

• Riots at Penn State over the victory over Michigan
• Matt Schaub cheered when he all but broke his ankle in Houston
• A fan physically attacked and the home run ball ripped out of her hand in Boston, just so the jackass can throw it back.
• And now this...

What's going to happen when the music really stops?

It is time for this country to get some fucking control over the feral animals of all races, creeds, colors, and religions - especially The National Religion of The Neanderthug Felon League.

The Zoo Continues Unabated, Part Four

The Texan idiocy is on Deadspin, along with a video with nice audio of the fucking asshats...

Also on Deadspin:  More Fan Mayhem In Boston...

So the Red Sox can't buy a hit in the first two games (up to the point of this clip -- they did break out against the Detroit bullpen to win, 6-5...).

Detroit hits a grand slam home run into the bleachers to the right of the Monster.  5-0 Detroit.

Lady catches the ball.

Guy, on national television, rips the ball out of the lady's hand, and does the entire "throw the opposing home run back on to the field" motif.

Lady is screaming that it is her ball.  But, of course, Sports Fan Syndrome #6...

Well, apparently, the guy was also screaming racist remarks before all that in the game, according to Yahoo!, and was ejected, finally, after that stunt.

The Zoo Continues Unabated, Part Three

Well, I was wrong about the Vikings today -- that actually was a more "normal" result, given the Adrian Peterson tragedy.  Just that I thought the NFL might throw him a bone or two.

Given the NFL's response to a number of tragedies over a number of seasons, I honestly thought Peterson was going to go in tribute of his fallen son and just run roughshod today...

Maybe nobody got the memo...

---

But that's not the biggest, nor most idiotic, story of the zoo continuing unabated in The Neanderthal Felon League.

The fans might well have just done it -- probably the most disgusting act of the season with respect to the games themselves might well have taken place in Houston today.

The embattled Matt Schaub better have played his last down for the Houston Texans, as if his life depends on it.

Why?

In the third quarter, Chris Long of the Rams sacked Schaub.  Schaub had to leave the game with a leg injury.

The people in attendance cheered his leg injury.

Again, the people in attendance (ostensibly Houston Texan fans) cheered their own starting quarterback when he was injured and forced to leave the game.

Never mind that the team was, somehow, down 31-6 to the Rams at the time.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, KILL HIM?

YOU WANT THIS GUY DEAD BECAUSE YOUR TEAM, ONCE AGAIN, SUCKS???

Christ on a Pogo Stick...

Fine Blotter for Week 5

Couple of news items first:

• Adrian Peterson's 2 year-old son has died as the result of a beating by the mother's boyfriend.  All sanity would indicate that Peterson would not play on Sunday, but, if he does, we all know what's about to happen here...
• A drug suspension to report -- one which does not particularly surprise me:  New York Jets:  Kellen Winslow Jr., suspended 4 games for PEDs.  I've never thought much of the guy -- always come across to me as a bit of a loose cannon, etc.
• And, of course, Deion (maybe) fucking being Deion again:  Deion Sanders was fired from his the charter school he helped found today -- for an allegation of assault of one of the faculty.  However, he has been rehired, according to Sports Illustrated.  It appears that Deion is not happy about the management of the kids going to school there, and is not afraid to take matters into his own hands.  Fences are being mended, so to say, but we'll see on this one...

With that, let's get to the Fine Blotter:

•  It was announced today:  Ndamukong Suh has lost his Week 1 appeal of his $100,000 fine.
• Green Bay Packers:  Jerron McMillan:  $15,750 for a hit to the head causing a concussion of a defenseless Detroit receiver.
• Detroit Lions:  Israel Idonije is now a TWO-TIME LOSER.  $15,750 for a leg whip against the Packers.

AS A RESULT:

• Detroit Lions:  Become the first NFL team this season to go to Level 3.  This not only means an immediate $25,000 fine, but for every dollar over $157,500, it's now dollar-for-dollar.  So tack on an additional $4,625 fine to the team.  That leg whip basically cost the Lions and Idonije about $45,000.

• Buffalo Bills:  Fred Jackson:  $7,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct/taunting, flipping the ball at a defensive player, for which he was penalized.
• Buffalo Bills:  Another one, Aaron Williams, $21,000 for a head shot.
• Cleveland Browns:  John Greco:  $7,875 for a face mask.  None of these three in this game were for anything against either quarterback.
• New England Patriots:  Brandon Spikes:  $7,875 for a uniform violation (illegal shoes).  Can't find what the cause of it was though.
• New York Giants:  Will Hill: $15,750 for the defenseless player rule.
• Arizona Cardinals:  Daryl Washington:  $21,000 for roughing the passer.

And...  That's it, apparently.  Wasn't even a post on NFL.com this week, but that's it.

Week 5:  $112,875
Lions L3: $25,000
Lions $-$: $4.625

Total so far:  $142,500

Fine Blotter: Catching Up

A couple of catch-ups before we get to this week's...

• Media sources indicate Ndamukong Suh is STILL waiting for word on his appeal of his $100,000 fine from week 1.  (Still waiting as of yesterday.)
• Week 4:  Seattle Seahawks:  Marshawn Lynch:  $5,250 for a uniform violation.
• Week 4:  Janoris Jenkins:  $7,875 for a face mask.

Puts the base fines total for the week almost at a quarter million, and the season total at $1,730,250.

Might as well put one fine in the blotter for Week 6, but this one comes with a grimace of a different kind:

• Chicago Bears (for Week 6):  Brandon Marshall will be fined for a uniform violation.  Amount, at this time, unknown.  Marshall wore illegal (by league rules) green shoes for Thursday night's victory over the Giants in support of National Mental Health Awareness Week -- and told the league he would do (he was originally to be banned from the field if he tried, but it was "allowed" under penalty of a fine).  Marshall will match the fine with a donation to an appropriate charity.  Gotta put it on there, because it counts under the Player Remittance Policy, but, boy, does that one suck...
