Jaguars LB will be on a payment plan for his $20,000 fine
**** Gooddell. This guy makes ~$97,000 BEFORE taxes IF he stays on the practice squad for 16 weeks. And the league takes $20,000 MORE off the top of that?
What if he's cut after a couple weeks and no one picks him up? He's a freaking undrafted free agent. What a load of shit. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shu...urn=nfl-wp6605 Quote:

Because the fines for these are made as a disincentive for multi-million dollar contracts as they are the ones usually paying. Courts actually have the ability to raise fines to the maximum if it is not considered enough of a deterrant. Taking 20% of a persons' pay for the year is overkill.

To me, the fine is too great, not because of the inequity between player salaries, but because none of these guys earn paychecks during the preseason.
Doesn't matter if you're Troy Polamaulu, James Harrison, or this guy. No one gets paid anything more than per diem until the real games start.

Remember when Herm Edwards fined Tyron Brackenridge something like $14,000 for dancing in the locker room as a rookie? Herm seemed to think it was a big joke, and I was thinking, "This is an undrafted rookie free agent who may or may not make the team. Your moronic sense of humor could cost him everything he earns if he doesn't make it." Out of all the clueless things that Herm did, that may have been the most clueless.

Is the fine going against the guy that came in from the right side of the screen? Because that guy lowered his head and clocked the Patriot with the upper part or crown of his helmet. And he did it to the WR's facemask. That's a textbook illegal hit. He can learn to live off of his 2500 a week. **** him. |

Meh, dude is still making ~$150,000 a year AFTER paying the fine. I'm not going to sit here and feel bad for him.

![]() I support safe football, and I support reasonable practices to keep these guys safe. That type of hit is also incredibly dangerous for the guy doing the hitting. Way too hard on the neck. |

so what?
if a gas station attendant in lots of states sells to minors, the cops come in and fine the attendant...not the store. most states, the fine is about 250. If you sell alcohol to a minor in SD (and a couple other states) the cops come into the store and arrest the attendant...the manager has to come down or the store is locked when the arrest happens. 90%+ of the time, when you hit dirty, you made a conscience choice to do so. I wonder if the NFL would sue the kid if he has an outstanding debt by not playing enough to cover the payments. |
