Who cares he is playing next Sunday and Sanchez isn't. That is all I care about. Yeah if the hit is on Manning his vag would definitely have 10 pounds of sand in it.
I'd appeal it if I was him. I still can't believe people think that hit was uncalled for. This kind of thing happens when you have the #1 rushing attack in the league and most of your passes come off of play action.
For you guys saying that 5k is low for the fine, Sanchez jumped up after the play was over. It's not he was unconcious, or it was a hit to the head. Sanchez is fine, that's all that matters. Who cares how much the fine was for, the point is, the NFL realized that the hit was wrong and made ammends by punishing the player who made the hit.
A flag at the time of the hit would have been better than a fine. The reach around after the fact does no justice at all.
What bullshit. Bobby McCray was fined 20,000 dollars! What makes Bullitts hit on Sanchez less of a penalty? I understand it was on two incidents but split that and its 10,000 dollars which is still double
That's my feeling, the NFL fining the guy after the fact means nothing. It should have been called on the field by the zebras.
Like me watching an impractical movie, when an NFL player is fined I don't even think about the number for a split second and sometimes just don't really even look at the dollar amount of the fine cause I know it's a lot of money and I can't imagine what it would be like to be able to be cool with paying that. But 5,000 dollars? That's like...tangible.
