Ike fined

[Steelhere10]

15 for head but. Thats one I'm happy about, maybe he will stop that stupid ****.

[skyhawk]

Yet no fines for the melee that ensued on the play? I thought Ike's headbutt was the least of the infractions on that play.

[DukieBoy]

$5K for the head butt, $10K for Goodell's Steeler surcharge.

the Steelers need to immediately stop their head-butting and horse-collar tackling...

it's $5000 cheaper to just punch the guy. :wft

Charles Woodson of the Packers was just fined $10k for intentionally punching Saints TE David Thomas in last Thursday night's game.

oh sorry, sometimes it's hard to tell over the internet... :Cheers

but seriously, how can Goodell justify such an unfair justice system?

It makes no sense. It should be every fine should be the same amount. $50,000 or nothing.

just curious on the time line here? Troy was fined days before and Ike just got his days after? Is this because people were complaining the ravens didnt get a fine and woodsons fine was smaller so they had to dish out a fine to the raven player and net Ike as well?

They were probably all fined at the same time. The league and individual teams don't go out of their way to make it a point to announce every little fine; I think the press just reports on them as they find out about them when they are interviewing the players during the week.

Has anyone thougt about the owners roll in these fines? Where does this money go? Is this a way for owners to pad their contributions to the pension fund? Just seems like a lot of Steelers with new contracts are recieving fines.

Goodell has no problem being the most hated guy in football but he also represents the owners. Just curious about the money trail.... I wonder if there is a site that tracks fine averages over the last few years.

wouldn't be surprised if fines are up this year due to the new agreement.
