Gronk fined 7.5k for spike

[robbomango]

I wish they'd fine Holmes every time he drops the football like a dead cat after a reception. Last week a ref went to reach for the ball and he dropped it on the ground in front of him, arm stretched out, chin up of course.(gigantic douche bag of the highest order).

I don't know what they call that ******ed celebration, "the Douche bag drop", "turd dropping a turd"??

It looks like an A-hole pinching a loaf.

Though if I was rich, 7,500 dollars for rubbing it in the face of the jets is money well spent.

Which asks the question,are fines based on salary?If that was Brady would he be
fined more?

I hear you. This is really annoying. It is within the rules though.

That's ridiculous. At this rate, I am surprised that he wasn't fined for having his picture taken with a porn star who was wearing his jersey.

Imagine the fine from Goodell if word got out that Gronk spiked BiBi in her end zone

uh.....still waiting...where's the Jetdell fine for telling a paying fan of the team you coach for to go eff himself???

no one anywhere will even MENTION this....does the league think we are going to FORGET what we SAW and HEARD???? What do any of you think Baddell would do if BB said "eff you!!!" to a paying Patriot fan as BB was leaving the field??? I mean, the Jet mole has already fined the Pats ONE MILLION DOLLARS for a camera argument. The myopic Ratdell has already charged the Houston owner 250 K for the same thing....Fatso Disgustinggutz has already been fined making the middle finger salute to ordinary people out at a public event...an event where there's people of all ages...THIS is far worse...THIS time he addressed a paying fan of the game HE'S blessed to represent as one of 32 NFL head coaches, telling him to go eff himself...where does it end with this complete and total run amok rhinoceroid???

WHERE IS THE FINE,GOODELL....WHERE????????

Gronk says, F U, Goodell!!!:singing: Rob Gronkowski Could Be Reimbursed $7,500 to Pay for Recent Fine If He Spikes Puck Prior to Worcester Sharks Game - New England Patriots - NESN.com

I would rather no one get fined, who's making money off this scam anyways?

Ocho was fined $20,000 for attempting to bribe an official with a dollar on the side line, it was clearly a joke. $30,000 for throwing on a poncho and sumbrero after scoring a TD.

There's so many players in the endzone after a TD it's hard to not spike it in front of someone, geez.


7.5 for spiking a football? they might as well fine players for scoring TD's.

that's bonkers, I designed athletic shoes for 14 years, heard all this nonsense before. when I did adidas cleats players had to tape over the 3 stripes at 1 point.

jordan was fined every game when his first black, red and white shoe came out(the air jordan #1). only white was aloud at the time, Phil Knight paid the fines because he liked the promotional attention they got.

teams need to assess the color coordination of the entire uniform, cleat/sock match ups and give the league a chosen color pallet head to toe. It's lame, oh well. His idiot coach should know this stuff though.

This is what kills me. I saw Steve Johnson (Bills) spin the ball in the end zone practically at the feet of the official and that's OK. There's just no consitency with these rules at all.

Uhhhh you cant spike the ball? This sucks
