One of my favorite things about both Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb is that after a catch, no matter how big, they pop up, locate the nearest official, toss him the ball and go on about their business.

I hear the NFL is going to start fining fans who belly-ache about the conduct of the league.

$5k for complaining about officiating;
$10k for criticizing the Commish.

This fine seems excessive for sure. Do you think the NFL, knowing players often get fines cut in half, factor that into a fine like this???

*****
Thought all fines were predetermined and included in the CBA.

Give the Bears a break here… I mean, they just don’t score that many offensive touchdowns. Then, to fine them when they do?

Tough crowd.

that rule is assinine. goodell is ruining the nfl

Ridiculous comment.

Goodell doesn’t make the rules. Learn how the NFL functions.

Your personal hatred of Goodell is clearly showing thru.

Folks listen…this rule isn’t new. Goodell isn’t ruining anything. Players have been charged fines for throwing the ball in the stands for decades. This is a non story. I would think every player knows about this fine, but then again, man players admitted they didn’t know a game could end in a tie. Anyway, let it go people.

If the NFL was that worried about fan safety it would do something about the drunken mullets throwing punches in the stands.

Fine amounts for various offenses were set/agreed to in the CBA.

And as much as I dislike Goodell, which is quite a bit, I think those that think they’re clever when they spell it Godell should rethink. It’s not clever. Really.

Mark Sanchez tried to throw one into the crowd but it was intercepted and returned for a TD.

I remember when Rob Dibble threw a baseball into centerfield seats from the pitchers mound celebrating a victory…the ball hit a elementary teacher in the chest. Not sure what he was thinking but prolly caught up in the emotions of the game.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. All you have to do is look at the body count of all the maimed and dead from MLB games. Literally millions of baseballs have been thrown into the stands over the years and I lost count of the genocide that caused. Stupid point.

Hate the Bears so of course I enjoy any fine given to them, but come on. God forbid one of the best receivers in the NFL has a little fun with the fans in enemy territory. I guess it’s only ok when you pretend to moon them.

Well if a ball was thrown into the Stands by a Bears after an offensive TD what would that be a total of 5250 bucks?

It’s a good rule. I can see why they have it. Plenty of adults in the stands will trample people to try and get that football. And worst thing would be seeing some small child trampled just because some adult wants that ball. So i can see why they have this rule in place.

But… Roger, you need to get off your high horse! This doesn’t deserve a fine. Did he throw a Brett Favre rocket into the stnads? No. It’s not like he tried with intent to hurt anyone in the stands. So call Mr Marshall up, tell him not to do that again, next time will be a fine, and thank him for probably making someone’s day by giving them a ball.

Someone writes that Josh Hamilton killed some man by throwing the ball into the stands. Yet my post is taken down for pointing out how ridiculous their choice of words were? I really do not understand procol here.

I guess technically this could be a liability should he smack someone in the face and knock ‘em silly like Danny Amendola did when he spiked the ball after a TD last week in St. Louis. That poor ol’ Dude took a serious shot to the side of the head! On YouTube as “Danny Amendola Spikes Ball Off Usher’s Face”. The next TD he scored moments later, he handed the ball to a guy in the same end zone thinking it was the guy he nailed but it wasn’t him. The guy he nailed was gone, probably being attended to. Granted, the usher was 6 feet away, not 50 rows but it would only take 1 special toss to find that lucky gold-digger that will be filing a suit Monday morning.

Does Mason Crosby get fined when he misses the field goal net and kicks the ball into the stands?

I hope Goodell has a long-term contract, because I don’t see how he can possibly hope to keep that job with the way he’s been acting. I never thought I’d miss Tagliabue.

Reggie Bush does this many times after scoring, does he not get fined? Or do you just not report it?
