They fined the dude $25000 fot the hit on Fitzpatrick Sunday. He hit him in the fukking chest with his helmet. I thought that was part of the allure of football,watching someone get lit up.It looked like a clean hit to me,fukking Rodger Goodell is going to ruin the league.

#6Goodell is the worst, things like this really worry me. Stop screwing with the best sport in the world.
What? That's ridiculous, it doesn't matter how much money he has, these fines are absurd. He has been fined over 100 grand this year by the NFL, that's insane.Comment -

Has he ever been accused of spitting in someones face?
Has he ever torn off an opponents helmet, then proceed to punch him in the face 3 times?
He plays the fuckking game how it was meant to be played.Comment -

#12The real joke is how he fines Andre Johnson and Finnegan 25K each for a fist fight, and then fines harrison the same for a tackle. So Goddell is trying to say that ripping someones helmet off and punching them in the face is equal to a helmet to helmet?Comment -

Ouman also makes a very good point. It seems harrison has been pinpointed and I don't think its fair
The tackle he made on fitzpatrick should never have been a fine or even a flag...another example of the pussification of football...really pisses me off, and I hope it never costs my team a gameComment -

#17You can't use your helmet as a weapon to head butt someone. The league needs to protect the QB since they are the ones making all the money.Comment -

#30The reasoning for the Harrison fine...
The reason given fore the fine might be the most absurd thing so far.
"James Harrison was fined $25,000 for roughing the passer, specifically he made helmet contact to the chest of the Buffalo quarterback, who was in a defenseless position at the time the contact was made," the NFL said in an e-mail Tuesday to The Associated Press.

#32Harrison gets fined for a hit and yet Johnson and Finnegan get 25k and no suspension for having a boxing match on the field.
If I was James Harrison, Mr. Gooddell would be getting a not so polite e-mail.Comment -
