Windy City Gridiron - Being who you thought we were since 2005!

The NFL's new and/or strictly enforced policy on illegal hits is already running amok. h/t MeMongo in the Comments to this thread.

Wolfe was fined for his tackle on Rock Cartwright during the Raiders return. Although many thought it was a somewhat questionable call, due to the rules change in 2006 the inside of the shoulder pad irregardless of direction of tackle constitutes a horse collar tackle.

Almost a week later, Dallas Clark continues to hurt the Texans.

Felix was fined $5,000 for a leg-whip attempt. Flozell's trip/kick at Julius Peppers cost him $7,500.

The iron fist of the league strikes again, fining Keith Brooking $5,000 for a hit the NFL apparently thinks was a helmet shot on Eagles QB Donovan McNabb. Of course, there was no penalty called on the play.
