Bgal Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 That's an insane amount of money. Barely hitting someone in the nuts shouldn't cost 10,000 dollars. Unsportsmanlike, sure. He should be talked to by the coaches and potentially benched if it continues. I just don't agree with outrageous fines like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little misleading because it says two incidents and does not say when or what game(s). Wasn't there a terrible rouging the passer call when replay clearly showed the Bengal put his should pads into the qb's chest? Was that Burfict? Not sure and someone will clarify or correct. Also thinking Heaven help us when queen of the pussies, Marsha Brady, comes to town in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tap on Rogers chest was not Burfict, and Jones was not fined for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|kennethmw| Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The number on the fine's are mostly bullshit, unless you're a superstar. If I'm right, they only lose a max of 25% of their weekly income or the fine whichever is less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to make it even more stupid, it is one of the most talked about things about the football games. Media is fucking stupid, and Goodell is fucking stupid.
