PrintEverybody knew there would be some fines after the Tampa Bay/Chicago mess that happened last Sunday.
Yesterday they leveied the first one which ended up being against Bears LB Jamar Williams after tauning a Bucs player after he layed him out. He was fined 7,500.
The big going ons were Bucs player Jeremy Trueblood pasting a few shots Wale and then Charles Tillman throwing a few at Michael Clayton.
The NFL has decided and have fined each 5,000. ....What?
You get fined less for physically abusing someone than you do for teasing them?

ridiculous
I guess taking swings at someone and then also trying to choke them, and having that caught on tape is less offensive than making a Your Mom joke.
I watched that play over and over and I’d like to know when Trueblood was grabbed
in his false nuts. There wasn’t a pile, as he is the one that drove Wale to the ground
and then proceeded to wail on Wale.
Didn’t think there’d be a day the NFL penalizes its refs more than it does intentional wrong behavior.
yea they could have at least fined orton
for putting up one of the worst first halfs of football ever seen and disgracing the game of football
Complete lunacy
This action by the league will create more of a problem in the future. Penalizing someone more for talking trash than physical violence is like the difference between stealing a pack of gum and grand larceny. Absolutely ludicrous!

Bullshit
Trueblood should be suspended.
