A pair of former Kansas City Chiefs (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/kansas-city-chiefs) players are getting hit where it hurts after Sunday's game between the Chiefs and Houston Texans (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/houston-texans): the pocketbook. According to Houston's FOX affiliate, (http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/nfl/101022-nfl-fines-three-texans) S Bernard Pollard (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2393/bernard-pollard) and G Wade Smith (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1268/wade-smith) -- both former Chiefs -- have been fined $5,000 for infractions in Sunday's game.
Pollard was fined for a late hit against Thomas Jones (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1243/thomas-jones) pushing him out of bounds.
"I understand the people who makes the rules are trying to bring safety to the game," Pollard said, "but how do you go to a bullfight and say,'be safe?""
I gotta side with Pollard on this one. That was a very tame push in the back at the end of the play.
As for Wade Smith, he was fined for a personal foul he received, specifically a leg whip.
Also fined for the Texans in the game was LB Adelwale Ogunleye for a late hit on Chiefs QB Matt Cassel.

They were playing dirty in that game, that's for sure.

Not surprising, I guess ... considering their head coach.

Bernards penalty was weak. But I liked the call during the game tho.

It was a legit personal foul, but I don't think he should have been fined.

cheaters.

It was a legit personal foul, but I don't think he should have been fined.

Yeah, you're correct. Definitely not deserving a fine there.

Yeah, you're correct. Definitely not deserving a fine there.

Agreed. Penalty worthy but a fine... give me a break.

I'd have been kicked out of the league by the way we played in the 60s .......

It was a legit personal foul, but I don't think he should have been fined.

I'd agree 100% if it wasn't for the fact that he pushed him into the practice net. He didn't get hurt but there's still a potential for it there.

Seriously????
Seems a little much.

[BigRichard]

I don't like the direction they are taking football. How does Roger Goodell go away? Is he voted on or appointed?

[Jethopper]

I'd have been kicked out of the league by the way we played in the 60s .......

ya.... those 215 pound linemen must have been brutal

[Mr. Kotter]

Anyone know if the Zebra who doesn't know the difference between offensive and defensive pass interference was fined?

:shake:

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Pollard is just thrilled that he actually made contact.
