What a ****ing joke. So the guy who gets flagged for the facemask gets no fine, while Jules gets fined because the refs didn't flag him? What the ****?

And Kirkpatrick facemasks him, he can't see, he should do whatever it takes to protect himself including deterring Kirkpatrick from hitting him while he's in a defenseless state.

Burfict gets to taunt Gronk multiple times, butt heads, intentionally tries to injure a defenseless player, stomp on someone's legs, and gets away with one fine and zero flags.

**** this league.

I'm sure the refs are getting marked down for missing this "infraction". I eagerly await bs calls on JE for legal blocks and stiff arms. More terrible calls should surely help the ratings!

 

[brdmaverick]

Wait, they can do that? If they miss a call during the game they can 'make it up' by fining the player later? I'm sure Edelman would have preferred offsetting penalities vs getting fined.

If the league finds this to be a 'finable offense' then they are asking for trouble.

 

[brdmaverick]

Have they announced what his fine will be for his false start?

I wish I was a multi billionaire and could buy the whole league. I would have so much fun firing those rats.

and GD Goodell says the league is not losing viewers. What a BS league this has become. I might be forced back to baseball and that is a unforgivable offense.

Right. Its like the cop that runs Jay, ME who sits on Rt 27 waiting for a family on a ski trip to Sugarloaf that goes 45mph in a 40mh zone.

Jerks.

I hope JE appeals this vigorously

 

[deroc5050]

Not so concerned about his fine, I am more concerned about his cutting ability and getting open in the slot. I think his foot is causing him problems this season.

The league fined him $9K and then reduced his week 1 fine by the same amount. This was about appeasing the Bengals who thought Edelman should have gotten a penalty, rather than punishing JE. The fine is a big nothing - which is what the net monetary amount was.

You're statement is incorrect. Edelman was fined $23,409 and had it reduced to 9K on appeal. That's a reduction of $14,409, not 9K.

Edelman should not have been fined for that 1st week hit at all..

Reiss said it was reduced by $9K. Whatever, the reduction in the week 1 fine was clearly related to the new fine, whether anyone admits it or not. And the week 1 hit was certainly questionable. I will bet Edelman does not appeal the new fine.
