I want to know if Alex Boone is going to be fines for hold the mans leg and when Bunkley seperated his arms from holding him, Bunkley jabs him in his privates, prompting the kick.

Bunkley should have been fined but so should have Boone. To fine only the retaliatory player is stupid. If the goal is to remove all this sh… stuff from the league, then go hard on both parties.

Clutching onto a guys legs while he is standing well after the play and jabbing another in the privates is not a football move, pardon the Suh.. I mean pun

Don’t forget that the bounty gate hopla started because of the locker room film before the Saints-Niners game last year. I am sure the NFL does not want a lot of attention to a Saint getting suspended against the Niners. Kinda like how they will not talk about Vilma tweaking K. Hunters leg after a tackle and ending Hunter’s year. Yes, that Vilma.

Then there’s the Karma payback:
Thursday Night: Karma 23, Saints 13

Oh, and a humiliating playoff hope ending, five interception, touchdown pass streak ending, kiss the season goodbye performance.

The universe has its own method of fining

Kick a guy in the head after the play? $20k. Stomp on a guy’s arm on national television? Two game suspension. I can see the logic there.

That play was far worse than Suh’s Thanksgiving stomp last year, and Suh got a 2 game suspension on top of the the ejection. Is there any rhyme or reason to the league’s disciplinary process?

Really….Did Boone get fined for punching him in the sac? Did Goldson get fined for intentionally trying to kill Colston?

Roger Goodell is destroying the NFL, one fine at a time.

Players can’t even give their all without thinking they might be fined by Goodell.

Fans are paying to watch Professional level football when they buy a ticket to a NFL game.

What the fans are getting in return is an effort that is much less than the players are capable of, simply because they have to worry about the eye in sky, watching their every move.

The NFL needs to turn the eye in sky off…and Roger needs to go…then the players can give the fans what they paid for…professional level football.

Wait, the saints intentionally trying to hurt someone? No way.

A $20K fine and no suspension for a kick in the head? Unbelievable!

If Suh got $30k, this joker should have got at least $40k.

You have to reinvent yourself to stay competitive. With Akers struggles Bunkley, was trying to show Harbaugh his kicking abilities.

If the incident is obvious intentional then the league needs to suspend rather than fine. If the players know the won’t play and lose a game check, they will be less likely to do the intentional stuff like this.

Suh’s kick was far more malicious.

chesslungo ask where do all the money go??? Sounds like my wife…. but it is my understanding that it all goes to charity…. like for example all of James Harrison fines when to the James Harrison Foundation, a charity set up by the pro linebacker to help the poor and homeless and fined nfl players/////

My question is where does this money go? I dont have a bleeding heart for these guys but if I get fined at work it better not just line the bosses pocket

Per the CBA all fines are donated to charities

Bunkley just thought he was playing soccer.

They need to come down harder on all this kicking crap, or it’s gonna get worse.
