Let the fines begin

[pensodyssey]

Well there's just no point in getting upset about it.  The Patriots have enjoyed special league treatment for years now, and that's not going to change.  We can't beat 'em anyway so what fucking difference does it make?

Really difficult to understand how James Sanders doesn't get a fine.  I understand the missed penalty, 'cause that happens, but the replay shows a hit on a defenseless receiver.  Based on recent fines to James Harrison, that is in the same vein.

Hopefully Brady winds up on IR before the end of the season.

Hopefully whoever deleted my foul worded rant ends up on the IR too. 

Big Brother is watching apparently.

Bastards.

I'd be interested to hear the reasoning on why the Ward hit wasn't worthy of a fine. Ward WAS a defenseless receiver because it ended up being an incomplete pass. Technically he wasn't a ball carrier yet because he never caught the pass. Like that matters. Harrison was fined for his hit on Cribbs which according to the rule was legal.

I mean, is James Harrison just too bad a man to be allowed in the league?  Seems strange.

Hopefully I get the full name correct but BenJarvis Green-Ellis was fined $5K for the chop block.

I thought the chop block call was somewhat suspect as it really was a bang-bang play.  I guess by the rule, it was a penalty but very surprising the RB would get a fine for that.

Seriously, the NFL is becoming more difficult to watch every week

I agree wholeheartedly on all accounts....Penso, we just cannot beat the Patriots so I'm not upset about it.  I hope that annoying Pats chick and Jason dude at 200 weren't in your grill too much....It does remind me of a homecoming game.  The fact that Belidick and the Pats ended Hines' streak on a challenge call, well, It's hard even to put into words the feelings that invokes.  The work FUCKING and ASSHOLES come to mind....

I remember when the chop block rule came into effect and it was like, "really?  they can't just play football??"  Now with the advent of the seemingly undeniable shift into touch or flag football that seems like eons ago...

Watching the game last night, I kept muttering to myself, "This is really boring to watch.  Is it just the Steelers and their shitty play calling or just an overall shift???"   I don't know if it's an NFL thing on the whole as I don't really watch any of the other teams closely.

This just in.

James Harrison will be fined $50,000 for Richard Seymour's punch to Ben Roethlisberger.

When Harrison was on the ground picking dirt out of his eye, dude at the bar says, "Harrison will be fined for hitting the ground too hard." Pretty good...especially for this area.

[SCacalaki]

TIOPS reporting Seymour fined $25K

A repeat offender, clearly outside of the rules, fined a fraction of what Harrison has been fined for hits during play.

I give up
