NFL FINES 20 PLAYERS FOR JAGS-BENGALS FIGHT

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the NFL imposed fines on a total of 20 players for last week’s fight between the Jaguars and the Bengals. For each team, ten players were fined. The total amount of the fines? $90,000. But we’re still troubled by the fact that Jags defensive tackle John Henderson was fined only $10,000 for trying to turn Andrew Whitworth into a pirate. As Michael Strahan of FOX pointed out, the disparity between these fines and $20,000 for Randy Moss mentioning “iffy” calls makes no sense. We agree. The league needs to develop a greater sense of equity and consistency in these fines, or the players, the media, and the fans will continue to sound off about the situation.
