Adewale Ogunleye Fined $7,500 For Tackle Of Matt Stafford

The NFL has fined Ogunleye $7,500 for unnecessary roughness, ruling that when he spun Lions quarterback Matt Stafford to the ground for a sack midway through the fourth quarter he made a horse collar tackle. Ogunleye had the back of Stafford's jersey with his right hand. There was not a penalty called on the play.

Goodell should be hung from the nearest tree. I'll supply the rope.

 

What a joke of a fine.

 

I think Goodell is the real joke and a complete disgrace to the NFL.
The last commissioner close to Goodell's immoral conduct was Pete Rosell.

 

Goodell says he's not trying to make this league into a pansy league BUT with these laughable fines he keeps handing out week after week, it's very hard to agree with him.

3:25 in...

Proof that it's all about the money. Wale didn't spin him to the ground at all, just held on to his jersey.

Film that makes the NFL look like a bunch of blind fools...

 

Good Lord...

It's almost getting unwatchable.

 

Yeah, there are tackles like that all the time that don't result in a fine from the league. Like I said before, I hope Ogunleye appeals.
