Ok, I'm probably gonna be the one to play devil's advocate here. I don't really like the fact that he was fined; and I don't think he really did anything to Drew to warrant it.

It's ok. He can use all the money the steelers fans sent him on the other hit to pay it.

You do not have to be penalized for a hit to be illegal. It was clearly a helmet first blow to the back of Brees' helmet. It doesn't matter how violent or incidental the contact is. It will bring a fine every time.

That hit was not a bad hit at all. If his name was Freeney he wouldn't have been fined one dime.

Harrison is a marked man. I've never cared for Harrison much, but that fine is all wrong.

Silly. But he was penalized on the play.

You are right, I recant my previous statement. I went to NFL.com and read the actual report. He didn't drop his head, I thought that was the reason for the fine.

Well, had he dropped his head, then THAT would have warranted a fine. My bad.
