Not made up as much as it sounds like it: NFL fined 49ers RB Frank Gore $10,500 for wearing his socks too low during NFC Championship Game.

Huh?

Eagles
2005-09-15 Jeremiah Trotter (LB) $5,000 Pregame fight, ejected before kickoff

According to wikipedia, he and an Atlanta cornerback got ejected 40 minutes before the game started for fighting, and the NFL made a rule that players can't cross the 45 yard line of their warmup side of the field unless they're a kicker.

League fines Tom Brady $10,000 for Ed Reed kick
Posted by Mike Florio on January 23, 2013, 8:31 PM EST

Well, all those folks who say the Patriots get special treatment from the league office are feeling a little vindicated right now. Or maybe foolish.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the league has fined quarterback Tom Brady for his Tin Man sans oil can slide, which ended with a Ty Cobb cleating of Ravens safety Ed Reed.

It’s the right call. While the broadcast angle suggested mere awkwardness and lack of flexibility in an age of increasingly mobile quarterbacks, the reverse angle made it look a foot-first eff-you to Reed.

The league fined Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh $30,000 for a Thanksgiving foot to the groin of Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. And before those who say the Patriots get special treatment from the league office point to that disparity and exclaim, “A-ha!” it’s important to keep in mind that Suh’s history influenced his fine.

Brady has no such history.

Correction, had no such history.

I wish they'd fine Brady's wife for being the most cosmetically overrated woman in world history (Yes, I'd still hit it, of course).

It's a little steep. But NFL is a business after all and they want to maintain a specific image. It's his second time, if I recall correctly.
