What a fucking idiot!! Obviously you are supposed to go UP to the said player, tap them gently on the shoulder and say "can you please touch your knee to the ground?".


DUH!!

/sarcasm off



I agree Tengo, its getting ri-damn-diculous.

I wonder if the fine is tax deductable? Being a work related expense and all. 🙂

Barnett hasn't helped his cause with his off-field problems and all of his trash-talking on the field, like after Adrian Peterson scored that TD. He's got a reputation now. He's got a target on his back. So we'll probably see more of these fines, even for borderline plays like this one.

Ye, this is a redicilous fine, although he should start to maybe keep quiet a bit.

Like Greg said, he's becoming a target for this kind of stuff if he keeps it up with all the public 'disbehaviour'. If he'll keep it up, something like this might just turn really big, wich would be a shame, since he's one of the best LBs in the league.

If they're so worried about player safety why don't they start calling hits on quarterbacks who are sliding. I haven't seen that flagged in ages and it happens all the time.
