Harrison got flagged for 15, but $40k for a hit on a receiver? Seems a tad high.
Moss shouldn't have touched an official, but $25k plus his $10k "I promise not to abuse officials any more" surcharge seems a bit extreme.
But Brackens getting fined $15k for his Aikman sack last Sunday? Puh-leeeease. No flag. No helmet. Just a d@mned fine tackle from where Bob Dole sat.
There was no helmet-to-helmet contact and no flag was thrown on the play, but the NFL told Brackens he was fined for violating a rule that bans picking up players and slamming them to the turf, then falling on top of them with all their weight.
Bob Dole supposes that instead, the defensive player should bow politely, then ask the QB nicely to please fall down or risk a verbal lashing.
