As a Cardinals fan, I am offended by this outrageously large fine levied against Darnell Dockett. What more is management going to do to alienate the players? Is Whisenhunt’s ego so fantastically large that to complain about his coaching buys you an absurdly-high fine?

Let’s just get rid of Whisenhunt and Graves and start over with Horton.

How can you say they want to win more than send a message, when they yanked Skelton in favor of the worst QB I’ve ever seen, in three games they could have/should have won? There has to be more to the story than what has been reported.

Its still a half-hearted punishment without sitting him out. Team still wants to win more than they want to send him a message.

Cards front office trying to divert attention away from their inept management. Dockett is the heart and soul of their defense. He’s just frustrated with the losing and that godawful offense. No way in hell Lindley mounts a comeback. Outside of Fitz and Wilson he’s been their best player for the last 10 years. Way to go Cardinals you are who we thought you were. Fire Rod Graves and every coach associated with the offense. The offense looks pretty bland without Boldin and Todd Haley kicking butt. On second thought Whiz needs to be drop kicked also. Promote Ray Horton before he leaves. Our defense hasn’t looked this good in the last 40 years. The only positive to all of this is the Cardinals will get a top 5 draft pick. We just need a G.M. that knows what he’s doing!

NFLPA might be right on this one: the punishment isn’t harsh enough.

This clown has also been accussed by opponents of spitting in their faces. I recall Chris Samuels had an issue of it a couple of seasons ago and for lack of proof nothing was done, atleast off the field.

Good to see that the issue surfaced in such an ugly way. $200k is nothing to what this guy has lost in free agency value.

thestrategyexpert says:

“The Cardinals should have fined him whatever the max is they legally can, and then trade this loser.”

Please trade him to the Texans, then. They need a stud DT who plays all 3 downs and can get to the QB.

Docket is a beast and he plays the game the way it should be played!!! 100% for 60 min not just for 58 min and then give up!! I think the Cardinals players should fine the organization for giving the players and fans such a terrible offensive line!!! #teamnine-oh #firewhiz

Stool sounds like more of a man than Suggs. At least he’s picking on grown men instead of women and 1 year olds!

I just don’t see the punishment fitting the crime. Almost a whole game check? 1/16th of the guys salary? There has to be more to the story.

He must have watched how great that “let them score” strategy went for my team in SB 46
I believe that all great defenses do need some “crazy” in them, but Dockett takes it too far.

Suh would never do something like that to his own teammate. It’s just wrong.

Dockett was trying to WIN the game! The Cards are a joke. They are laying down. He ain’t no ‘goof” — he’s a mean, nasty Pro Football player and he’s killed my Seahawks over the years, especially Matty H. Hope he’s suspended for this Sunday!

200 Large ! BOOM !!

The Whizenator layeth the smacketh down ! For a guy that makes millions , that’s almost enough to piss him off . Now he can sit on the bench this Sunday and enjoy watching his team get their butts kicked in the feezing cold rain in Seattle .

Yes Virginia , there is a Santa Claus ..

Wow. A kick to the cranberries on Thanksgiving is worth only 30k. I can’t imagine what would cause a 200k fine.

Good thing he didn’t throw his gum at him.
Then he would have been charged with assault and then a lawsuit would have followed.

$200k does sound a bit much but I would bet this isn’t his first time he’s been a problem. For him to treat another person as he did says a lot about the kind of person he is or is not. Serves him right.

I don’t know how big Kerry Rhodes is, but I sure didn’t see a report about DD’s nose being broken…. I don’t care how much bigger, some guy spits in your face, you punch that guys lights out… That’s one of the most disrespectful things you can possibly do…. just sayin….

Wow.. 4-0 start has transformed into a dumpster fire. Probably too many wins for Geno, and I’m not sure fans would be excited about another 1st round USC QB who may not be worthy of a top 12 pick.

He’s a moron who thinks he is playing a game and that anyone cares about his pride.

and he singlehandedly stopped them from scoring. Needs a raise not a fine.

if they didn’t need him they would suspend him a game. Whole league is fine fine fine. someone spits in a teammates face, stay home next week.

Although I don’t agree with him spitting in his own teammates face, I do agree with him not wanting to let the Jets score. Their Defense was the only chance they had, that offense is atrocious.
