The NFL has fined Brooks $15,750 for the controversial hit the 49ers outside linebacker delivered on Saints quarterback Drew Brees in the fourth quarter of San Francisco’s 23-20 loss Sunday, a source said. ESPN first reported the fine. Source: SF Gate ICECOLD's Take: Now to see if Ray Ray and Tedi hold up to their word...
The funny and sad about this is, all the rules there are about protecting QBs haven't made them more safe at all. Take a look around the league at all the backups playing right now, and the league is better because of these rules?
First time offender and it was debatable as to if it was a penalty. The fines in the NFL are just getting ridiculously excessive.
It was a legal hit,a bullcrap call the refs missed,so wtf fine anybody? we will seen if ray lewis is gonna ante up and pay half like he said he would!
eh, i know everyone is pissed at the pussification of the league but under the current guidelines, the league is going to penalize and fine a play like that. we don't have to like it or agree with it but that's how it is now. if you don't like it, basketball and hockey are going on right now too (not that anyone is paying attention)
people get so mad, its not like its your money. I dont care about ahmad brooks money, he makes millions to play a childs game lol. Ray ray is on the hook for half now though
