Kenny Vaccaro fined $8k for Matt Ryan hit

SloMotion · 09-11-2013, 05:02 PM

I'm seeing a total lack of consistency in these fines and wonder how much Vaccaro's fine has to do with the fact he plays for the Saints ... honestly.

Clay Matthews (GB) talks all week about hitting the QB in the read option, then horsecollars Kaepernick (SF) to the ground after he's out-of-bounds. Any fine yet? At least Vaccaro's actions can't be considered premeditated.

Why, is Matthews (GB) described as "an aggressive player who plays with passion" when he does something like this and other players get fined?

I'm sorry, football is a gladiator-sport played by men & you're gonna' have some physical contact. If you're gonna' fine one, fine 'em all ... and then go out and get 'em some flags to hang from their belts,

... this is gettin' out of hand, and I'm not talking about the late hits, those have been around forever.

Wait a minute... You're seriously telling me that Clay Matthews faces no discipline for that play and Vaccaro is being fined?!? The NFL cannot possibly let that steroid shooting dude get away with that crap!

The sad part is the nfl can and will do whatever they want. If it wasn't for my love for the sport and the Saints, I seriously would have absolutely nothing to do with the nfl after all that bull**** with the bounty program.

We should be thankful it's only $8,000 and not more or worse a suspension... The way Roger works, I wouldn't have been surprised to see him try to suspend K.V. for 4-8 games

I am getting there too. It's total bullstein!

I think it was a game changer and would be shocked if he is not reimbursed...maybe in a legal way. Restructure his contract and pay him
8K more.

I hope Matty continues to need some ice.

don't forget that matthews threw a (semi) punch at Staley too.

no fine? no suspension?

Warned GB to stop their bounty but levied no punishment?
