Titans safety Bernard Pollard figured it might be coming. But that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it.

Pollard tweeted this morning that he had been fined $42,000 for his hit Sunday which left Texans wideout Andre Johnson with a concussion.

Pollard’s contention that he did everything right is subject to debate. He led with the shoulder, but hit Johnson in the helmet in what could be reasonably considered a defenseless position.
