Antoine Winfield has been fined $10,000 for using the goal post as a prop after scoring a touchdown on a blocked field goal return on Monday night. Linebacker Chad Greenway also gets to pay $7,500 for a major facemask penalty against running back Reggie Bush. The officials somehow missed the incident during the game. Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Adrian Wilson was fined $25,000 for roughing the passer. No penalty was thrown on the play DeSean Jackson and Quintin Demps will be coughing up $10,000 each for their celebration after Jackson’s 68-yard punt return for a touchdown. Ronnie, Carey, and Ike Ndukwe each fined $10,000. No penalty flag thrown These are just a few of the latest. I am trying to figure out how much players and coaches have been fined total this year so far and when I do I will post it. So whay do you think? Check this fine out. I didn't know it was a finable offense Football Into Stands First Offense: $5,000 Second Offense: $10,000
The Adrian Wilson hit is the one that bothers me. The guy was coming in unblocked a made the hit. No flag at all and the ref was watching the whole time. He got Fined $25,000! I know the league wants to protect Quarterbacks but its not fair anymore. If Wilson was to slow down or try to arm tackle Edwards he may ending getting hurt himself. The game is played much different than its taught now.
I dont know alen, im pretty ok with fines for guys committing fouls like that, especially when they could cause injury to another player. You could easily cause alot of damage to someone's head/neck giving a tug on a guys facemask. I didnt see the play that generated this fine, but when it comes to hits, and even the odd brutal facemask penalty, Im okay with fines being issued. Safety should always be paramount. As for the celebration fines... they are just downright ridiculous and absurd.
Hines Ward was fine like $5000 for a late hit. WTF, i thought these grown men were playing football and not pee-wee flag foosball. hahahhahahha Frame-by-Frame: Hines Ward Fined $5,000 for late hit | postgameheroes.com great hit by hines. i believe it was a payback hit from earlier, when a browns player laid out a steeler. hines got yo back!
It was a facemask though. It wasn't like the one Larry Johnson had a year or so ago. Greenway pulled it a little and forced a fumble. He didn't twist it all the way around. If this was like the facemask that Antrell Rolle gave Larry Johnson then I wouldn't have a problem with it. If they're fining Chad Greenway for this facemask, why don't they just fine every player who commits a facemask penalty?
Found this when researching Fines for 2008 NEW YORK—National Football League officials announced Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has committed a uniform weapons violation and will be fined $2,000 for keeping his nine-millimeter Beretta handgun in his game uniform's belt and not tucking the firearm into his uniform pants as rules stipulate during Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "This fine sends a clear message that there is no leeway when it comes the NFL's new firearms policy—if players have a sidearm in their pants while on the field of play, said pistol must be tucked into the front, back, or sides of said pants," a statement from the commissioner's office read in part.
