Marshall fined 24g for hit on Cam

Now the Broncos pretend these fines actually hurt.

Quote

Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall and safetyDarian Stewart won’t be surrendering their cash for hits on Cam Newton quickly or happily. Both said on Wednesday that they will appeal fines imposed for illegal hits on the Panthers quarterback.

“Absolutely, you have to appeal,” Marshall told reporters regarding his $24,309 fine. “No matter what happens, I have to appeal it. That’s a lot of money, think about it.”

Marshall seemed to be far more bothered by the amount of the fine than the fact that a fine was imposed.

“That’s a huge fine,” Marshall said. “I know what it looks like. I know what it looked like. It looked bad, but that’s a lot of money. That’s what I’m upset about.”

Stewart will appeal his fine, too.

“I absolutely will,” Stewart told reporters. “I will definitely appeal the fine. . . . I was just trying to make a play. I was just being aggressive, but not really trying to aim for the head.”

That argument overlooks the reality that Stewart still is prohibited from striking Newton with Stewart’s helmet anywhere, in the head or otherwise. Which makes it seem as if the common public misconception regarding what is and isn’t permitted when striking a passer (no blows to the head and neck of the passer, no contact anywhere with the defender’s helmet) also are common within the Denver locker room.

Small price to pay for millionaires for a victory.
