And obviously I didn't wish any ill will on him because he's one of the boys.
If you're trying to make a point about other players receiving small fines, then very well. But you should remember that Belichick was fined $500,000 for having a camera on the sidelines. Favre maliciously went after Wilson's knees when he simply could have blown him up on a big block up high (considering Wilson wasn't even looking at Favre). I'd say the latter situation was a little worse. If they're going to fine BB $500,000 for what he did, then the NFL should fine guys like Favre and Wilfork just as much for playing dirty. They're both making a considerable amount of cash. They can handle it.
Favre made a play that was perfectly legal last season. He is the first player to be fined for violating that rule since its implementation. He won't be the last.
As for the BB fine and the Wilfork fine about Losman, I was opposed to them.
Just because it was legal doesn't mean it isn't filthy dirty. Hell, my 9 year old niece could have laid out Eugene Wilson with an upper body block in that situation.
Take it up with the NFL, since the league allowed it up until last season. Ward has made a career out of it.
I'm on the horn with Goodell's office as we speak.
Good. Get that putz to resign while you're at it.
We'll wait and see. My gut feeling is $10,000 but I can (and 99.9999% chance) am wrong.
Sadly I don't see Duhdell fining Favre enough to really make an example out of him. By that I'm meaning the fine will be some weak $10,000 fine that is pocket change for Favre. Pocket change that he'll easily get back from all the merchandise that is selling like it was water in a freakin desert here in Minny.
