    Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice told 105.7 FM in Baltimore that he was fined $7,500 for a stiff arm. An NFL spokesman confirmed Rice was fined for the Sept. 25 game at St. Louis. It was a strange play because Rams cornerback Bradley Fletcher was flagged for a facemask on Rice. If anything, it appeared that Fletcher should have been penalized for a horse-collar tackle. While Fletcher was attempting to pull Rice down, the running back tried to break free with the stiff arm and apparently grabbed the facemask.

    Flag football is too dangerous, lets blow play dead when the defender comes within a 3 foot radius of the player.

    I have not seen the play in question... Was this a stiff arm from hell... I mean did he grab the guy by the face mask and twist his head to the ground like a steer wrestler in a rodeo?
