TAMBA HALI and BRANDON FLOWERS FINED
Chiefs' Brandon Flowers, Tamba Hali Receive Fines From The NFL
Typical Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders game last week. We've received word from the league office that at least four players were fined in the game, including two Chiefs. We'll start with the bad guys... Raiders LB Aaron Curry was popped for $10,000 after an unnecessary roughness call for hitting a Chief late. This play came on the Chiefs first possession of the second half. Raiders CB Stanford Routt was fined $7,500 for hitting Chiefs RB Jackie Battle out of bounds. This came on the Chiefs final drive of the game (when they were up 28-0). And for the good guys... Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers was fined $10,000 for his touchdown dance in the Black Hole but I don't think the fans would want him to change what we did. The specific violation was using the ball as a prop. Chiefs LB Tamba Hali was fined $15,000 for hitting the quarterback below the knees. He received a penalty for this during the game -- it was Carson Palmer's first pass. |

Goodell's just bilking the players out of their money for lame ass rules. His version of the NFL is weak sauce. What a crappy transition from Tags to Janet Napolitano.

1) The fine on Flowers is somewhat justified. Every single player knows its coming when they do it, they get told over and over to not use the ball as a prop and Flowers still obviously planned the whole thing.
2) The fine on Hali is total, complete bullshit. He did absolutely nothing wrong...he was getting held on the play iirc and was pushed down and fell into the quarterbacks leg...how is he supposed to avoid that? ... Now, after saying those things...Halis fine is obviously another step in GODells push to get a 18 game schedule into the next deal by making the game a safer and more interesting game for fans and the first step in that is to further protect the leagues quarterbacks (as the NFL is built around them...well the NFL expect for KC) and he obviously sees it as a "no grey area" type of thing. The bullshit part of that is the players targeted for fines more often than not are the pass rushers and that is total bullshit. |

It's okay to grab Tamba Hali by the neck and throw him to the ground. That's not malicious at all.

Meh. It was a in the moment kind of thing. A defensive player scores a TD, of course he's going to want to celebrate. I doubt he plans his TD celebrations at all. This will likely be the only one he has this year, so no way he plans them.

I have a question thing ...
Is it considered illegal for the owner to pay his players' fines? Would that be considered a violation of the salary cap? FAX |

srsly, how long is the league going to tolerate this asshat?
No celebrations? Getting fined for them? This is a sport where the fans PAY to see shit like this! Some of it may very well be in poor taste, but its all in good fun. Ever since Goodell became commissioner, the league has become way too politicized for my taste...I get enough politics as it is now, I would prefer football to be as politically free as possible, please stop this madness! |
