Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Farrior was fined $15,000 by the NFL for a hit Sunday night on Indianapolis quarterback Kerry Collins according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Farrior said he had been expecting to hear from the league, but thought he had escaped a fine when he didn't receive any news by Thursday. Farrior was informed of the fine as he walked off the practice field this afternoon. Farrior does not believe the hit warranted a fine. "I don't think so, but the league saw it necessary to put the fine out there, so we just have to go with it," he said. Farrior's agent, Ralph Cindrich, said Farrior will appeal the fine.
