The leagues policies are so butt backwards: This week, you get Jay Cutler and Chad OchoCinco getting fined 20K for talking about the Refs and making a playful bribe, which is harmless. But Harris only gets 7.5k for throwing a punch at someone.

 

Agreed.

 

I like how they try to justify these ludicrous fines. :icon_evil:
Pretty soon I wount give a heck about football anymore like I did back in the strike shortened season of 1982. :icon_frown:

 

Wow, I thought the fine would have been more then $7,500.

 

i think lovie should suspend him for the first half of their next game.

 

Yes, it wouldn't make a difference anyway vs Eagles.

 

Not gonna happen, lol.

 

how about the first 9 minutes and 24 seconds of the 1st quarter?

 

Doubt it...
