Bonkers

League office is drunk with power. Even given the concept of big fines for rich people so they actually feel it, this is completely insane.

I've got no problem with the fine

It’s the scale of things that bothers me. Cheating (which actually does compromise the integrity of the league unlike Chad Ochocinco’s silly “bribe”) gets only 2x the fine that giving the bird does, an action that harms no one.

2x but it's still $250k MORE.

Belichik was docked $500k PERSONALLY, and the Pats lost a draft pick or two. Just the draft pick to me was worth WAY more than $500k.

What Adams did was just plan low brow, rude, and uncalled for. I hope he enjoyed signing his name to that check. I saw the video and what a prick.

I can't wait until we play them again.

I already know what my sign is going to say.

No, that's wrong

Goes towards the Retired Football Player Fund. Don’t remember the exact name but it goes to retired players. Their pension.

OK

Though I’d heard that it went to charities but this makes more sense.

I believe Jerry Jones was fined $500k earlier this year for talking about labor negotiations to the public.

It’s crazy how these guys have so much money. They get fined tens of thousands of dollars and it doesn’t even put a dent into their bank accounts.

If i was fined $250,000 for flippin off some Buffalo Bills fans I’d go into bankruptcy in a New York minute “get it” lol.
