Watching the Bottom Line on ESPN...the NFL front office has gone fine crazy. They are throwing fines left and right as far as I saw.

The only fine that I know the exact incident was Rodney Harrison's $12,500 fine. This is a horrible penalty, he got the fine for a arm-to-the-head hit on Eddie Kennison...but on the play he was pulling back to prevent going head-to-head with him. Horrible call, and I'm sure most of the other fines were bad calls too.

I know what you mean. The Front Office should just shut up and let them play football. Next thing you know, the NFL will instate a "two hand touch" policy on all QB's, and punt returners.

I guess we agree on something

Yeah, they need to protect their players, but this is rediculous.

I don't really mind the fines that much.

I guess that's because you don't have to pay them.
