This idiot was going nuts over a 12 man on the field call when everyone in the world knew there were 12 on the field except he and Del Rio. He and his .500 career winning percentage. He’s foolish enough to think he’s gonna win the big one simply because they landed an old, former great player. What a fool.

At least Belichick took his fifty lumps without complaint — and issued an apology.

Some of the coaches used the fact that the refs were replacements as an excuse to act like complete douche bags and now they are crying because they got fined for it.

Pay your fine and shut the hell up.

Fox and Rio are wasting time with their frivolous appeals.

The NFL should implement a rule that lost appeals will double the fines and/or penalties.

I recieved a traffic ticket a few weeks ago, when I considered appealing it, I was told if I was found guilty, the judge could increase my fine and make me pay court costs. I decided to pay the ticket, as my case wasn’t very strong. My point is, if players/coaches want to appeal, they too should face stiffer penalties. That way, only those who think they can win will bother to appeal, lest they risk harsher punishment.

He went nuts on the refs for calling 12 man on the field and upholding that call after he challenged it – because they clearly HAD 12 man on the field. Everybody could see it. The replacement refs got it right (for a change), and he just went crazy. To get away with 30k is quite lucky, I’d say.

No one has as much reason to argue as the Packers head coach. Fox and his Broncos had no prayer of beating the Falcons in the dome no matter what officials were there.

You deserve the fines so get on with it. both insulted the refs, so why shouldn’t you be fined????
Green Bay lost a game they should have won, so what goes around comes around, get on with it.

Seriously? Don’t you have better things to do Fox? Like prepare for a game? Or do you think the Raiders are some simple pushover?

Such a loser organization.
