We continue to hear of big NFL fines from the 2010 season reduced upon appeal.
The latest: Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain’s $40,000 fine for hitting Heath Miller -- giving him a concussion -- was cut in half to $20,000, according to Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun. McClain said after the game he wasn’t trying to hurt Miller, and the league eventually listened.
The NFL also recently reduced notable fines to Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan and Jets safety Eric Smith.
