The NFL fined Saints DE Bobby McCray a total of $20,000 for two incidents involving unnecessary roughness, according to a league source.

In the first quarter of last Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, McCray unnecessarily delivered a blow to Vikings QB Brett Favre, who was out of the play. Additionally, during the third quarter, McCray delivered a blow to Favre’s knee area.

Damn is that all a Super Bowl berth worth.

Yep, $20,000 and you can injure a HoF QB and win a NFC championship. Damn, you can't even buy a Toyota for that much.

[GRWatcher]

Not enough.

[SMACKDAB]

What is even more of a black eye for the NFL, is noting it now, and not during the game.

Fugers.

[rayzor]

so how long before the saint whiners come in here?

or are they all banned?

[Delhommey]

It was a dirty hit.

[Dpantherman]

[AKPantherFan]

[Lumps]

so if they try to pull this in the super bowl it will be a much heavier penalty...right? at least a 15 yard penalty...right?

One I am ok with where Favrelous handed off and got nailed.

The low hit is total BS. The Offensive guy took him low. But such is the NFL.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hopefully Breesus is looking out his earhole next weekend. Legal hit or not.

Yeah yeah maybe so. What are you like 5?

He should be suspended for the SB. 2 cheap hits on a qb in a game when your D coordinator later comes out and basically says they were trying to hurt the other QB should warrant the suspension.

What goes around in this league, comes around. Caldwell will have his guys playing the game the right way, but if they start taking cheap shots at Payton, I can only hope that one of the Colts will have Brees or Bush knocked out.
