I figured the coaching staff would fine him for missing another tackle.

Anyway, what kind of bull poo fine is $7,000...NFL and their dumb fines, was he penalized in the game?

$7875?

NFL implying there's a system that they follow.

I'm sure it's a % of his pay check...and like you said, who'd miss $7500 from a $2000000 check

They fine you whether or not you were penalized during game. Godfrey should consider himself lucky, they pass out 21,000 fines like they're passing out candy.

I know they penalize people anyway, I was just saying it wasn't a bad hit or a dirty hit. I disagree with him being fined anything honestly.

How many saints players were fined week two? The number of panther helmets pulled off were easily in double digits.

Doesnt count - Saints payed a bonus to the replacement refs.

Not to mention the gang stomping of Cam Newton that somehow went unnoticed even though it was being broadcast on national television.

Money well spent.

I understand the safety aspect, I just don't know how you can take it out of the game.

I think it was the first time he actually realized Martellis Bennett was on the Giants offense...as he let him run by him again!

I just want to know how in the world they came up with $7875

[SCMunnerlyn1]

i was thinking it was 1% of his paycheck.. but that would imply his paycheck for the year is ... 787,500 .. and i think it's a bit more.
