            It was a BS fine. Bottom line, 15,000 for Troy, but yet nothing for their player who did the same thing on our Antonio Brown ? And only 10,000 for Woodson when he totally threw a PUNCH at a player ????

                Hell, Fox News isn't even Fox News if that's the criteria...
                Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                    Ayanbadejo also got hit with a $15K fine as well.

                    NFL fines 3 players for unnecessary roughness
                    3 hours, 1 minute ago

                    OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)—The NFL has fined three players for unnecessary roughness during the Baltimore Ravens’ 35-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

                    Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo was fined $15,000 for his horse-collar tackle; Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was fined $15,000 for his horse-collar tackle on Ravens running back Ricky Williams; and Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor was fined $15,000 for head-butting a Ravens player.

                    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                        Fine Whine? Go Stomp Some Grapes

                        Troy Polamalu got fined $15K for taking down Baltimore's Ricky Williams with a horse-collar tackle. The NFL says the fine is automatic, but it seems extreme. Polamalu's tackle was A) not malicious, B) not intentional, C) what's Troy supposed to do, just let Williams keep running? It started as a legal tackle, but went bad.

                        The Steelers b!tched about the Ravens' chop-blocking, but Polamalu got fined. It just feeds the Steelers paranoia.

                        Polamalu's reaction: "I'm not a big fan of people being really vocal about the fines." So be it. Move on. Troy's teammates could learn a lesson. They won't.

                        Speaking of that chop-block controversy: Apparently the Steelers are wrong. What the Ravens did isn't illegal.

                        According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, if an offensive lineman is engaged with a defender and an adjacent lineman chop-blocks that defender, that's OK. For a chop-block to be illegal, the lineman that does the chopping has to be two positions away. For example, if the center is engaged with the nose tackle and the guard chop-blocks the nose tackle, that's OK. If the tackle does it, that's illegal.

                        What the Ravens did was fine. The Steelers need to learn the rulebook and QUIT WHINING.

                        UPDATE: Baltimore's Brendon Ayanbadejo was also fined $15K for a horse-collar tackle in Sunday's game.
