Reality is much clearer without purple shades on …Pollards time is coming..hopefully it’s a fine/suspension and not his injury or another players …

You would never see Peyton Manning do this, Yet another reason why he’s vastly superior.”

Peyton Manning should have fallen against the Ravens and taken the sack but he has too much hubris (excessive pride).

Goodell is busy riding the Ray Lewis retirement train, hoping it leads to huge ratings

That’s what matters to Goodell.

Fans’ pressure forced the NFL to fine this diva.

Let me guess

Let me guess Pollard doesn’t get fined…the team of destiny. By the way what does Ray Lewis have on Goodell…smh
===========================

Why would Pollard be fined? He played fantastic all game and made no dirty hits at all, much less illegal hits.

To all you complaining about sock fines:
TB got fined $2500 MORE than Suh did for the first tie Suh tried to twist a QB’s head off.

I do not agree with those that compare his fine to his worth. So are you saying if a cop stops you for speeding 10 MPH over the speed limit they adjust the fine according to how much money you have?? So one guy speeding in his 1998 beat up pick-up truck with a low paying job gets a $50 fine but the next guy driving a 2013 Jag and is the CEO of a corporation gets a $500 fine for the same speeding?? Thats dumb huh?

Its NOT how much money they make, its the sense that he broke a rule. But I do agree on the amount of a fine should be in line with the infraction severity.

As expected, the whining Ravens fans and Brady haters will now switch to the “the fine is too low” approach.

Obviously Frank Gore had a history of wearing his socks at the wrong levels.

Hey Tom, wrong safety. Next time, kick Pollard in the n*ts.

This fine is the best evidence yet that Tom Brady is washed up. 5 years ago, this fine would not have happened. This is the League telling Tom, its been nice knowing you – don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

Funny..It was manly when Ty Cobb did it in baseball, is wussy in football. No wonder I love the NFL. We can all be thankful to Tom Brady for giving us yet another reason to love the NFL.

He shouldn’t have been fined anyway. He WOULDN’T have been fined at all except or the fact that the league feels the need to cave in to all the jealous little girls out there who can’t stand a winner.

Chump chage to him. Probably pulled it out of his pocket. Would be like fining us a dollar or less. Way to send a message.

Gore got hit for 10.5 thou for his socks.Hmmm…

After Brady paid the fine he told the NFL to “keep the change”

Seriously. Frank Gore get 10500 for wearing socks to low and the NFL Golden Boy gets 10000 for going Jackie Chan on a slide. No wonder nobody believes in Roger’s authority

Brady didn’t have a history of losing games after being ahead at half time either, so he’s charting all kinds of new ground.

This is one of the odd times when the fine for a star seems to be too much though – isn’t a playoff game check $20k? So he’s been fined 50% of his wage for the week.

That’s fukkin high larry yus. Toilet paper for Brady. I for one wish he woulda connected with Reed’s nutz. I also wish TB would just laser a pass directly at B Pollards face and concuss him with an incomplete pass. On purpose

Pats fans are funny. They get deprived of their God-given right to win the SuperBowl every year and they can’t handle it. And then when a frustrated Tom Brady kicks at a blitzing Ed Reed, the Pats fans all start talking about the real root cause of all their problem … Ray Lewis.

It really will be all right, guys. It’s just football. Life will get better.

Uh, how much did the NFL fine Suh for actually kicking Schaub in the groin?

By: yyyass

yyyass — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 05:11:47 +0000

Well that’s the fine for the illegal kick. How much does he get for raising his leg and exposing his vag on national television?

And they charged Frank Gore $10,500 for wearing short socks….yeah makes a lot of sense Goodell….smh

He was just trying to show everybody that his socks were NOT too low!

“Well, all those folks who say the Patriots get special treatment from the league office are feeling a little vindicated right now. Or maybe foolish.”

Florio you really are as stupid as I thought you were. How is this not special treatment? $10,000 for a kick, but Gore gets $10,500 for his socks. This fine is a joke, just like your reporting. Yup go ahead and delete this post. Good to know freedom of speech only works if its something people want to hear. Good ole America going right down the shi**er

Not sure why his slide is really that big of a deal…he did not aim for reeds knees. I think if anything he was worried about Ed jumping on his testicles…but I guess if a player can be fined for wearing socks too low, then this is valid as well.

Heat of the battle.
Like Ed Reed doesn’t have blood on his hands for helmet to helmet hits.
Tom will vac out the cushions of his couch and send you the change.
Heck, If I was him, I would send my wife down and let her hand commish the check in person just to enjoy the buzz.
No kidding.
Tom Brady is a baller.
Just to see her drop off that check would be worth it.
I hope he considers it.
It’s better then pennies.
