No Fine For Sanders - New England Patriots Forums

Late hit on Brady costs Woodley $12,500 but none on James Sanders hit on Ward. I'm pleasantly surprised, the league is handing out like candy, I didn't think Sanders hitting Ward with his face mask warranted one

Very pleasant surprise. I hope this bodes well for Pryor's appeal.

Benny did get fined though, which is even worse than Pryor's imo.

If Woodley played for NE, we'd all be howling about how it was "incidental", etc.. Could have gone either way IMO.

On the other hand, that cretin James Harrison should be suspended for diving at Brady's knees--it sure looked like the intent to injure was there.

We need Shmessy to post that Hines Ward Crying thing

The league did well on this one. Contact was there, but there wasn't any malice. Just incidental and a product of one player trying to make a tackle on another player.

Not surprised that Sanders didn't get a fine, more surprised that Chung didn't get one.

Was that the knee hit?

You can't fine the DPW!

I know I'm not the only one who's heart stopped when he went at Brady's knees. It looked all too familiar, I saw him take a shot to the knee and start to fall and then the camera panned. I didn't care about the pass I just wanted to see Brady.
