Nahh that won't work. A player making $10M a year should be fined more than a guy making $500k a year for the same hit just because he makes more money?

Sounds familiar but belongs in the Poli area

Oak, I like the idea. Don't stop on the field though.

Drug conviction? Hit em.
DUI? Hit em.
Felonies? Hit em harder!

There is no perfect plan. Especially for off field problems. You can't normally blame that on the organization. It isn't the Pats fault that Hernandez CPU,d very well be a psycho.

Gotta' disagree with ya' there buddy ... you take a Dashon Goldson outta' Tampa Bay's secondary for a specified amount of time (say for one quarter) and let Drew Brees throw at his replacement, it damn sure is gonna' affect the team & ultimately the scoreboard ... same goes for if you'd sit a Ndamukong Suh for a quarter and let a Lions opponent run roughshod through or pass over that Suh-less defensive line. Take Clay Matthews outta' the Green Bay defense, that ain't gonna' hurt the team?

The guys receiving these fines/suspensions are playmakers and taking them off the field is gonna' hurt. Let a team lose a game or two because their star 'nasty' was put off the field for a questionable hit and you can be damn sure the teams will police themselves.

The only way to hurt a millionaire with a fine is to fine him a million dollars, IMO.

Suh is always in rare form on Thanksgiving Day ... it's almost a given he's gonna' do something stupid in this game every year ... on national TV, in front of the home crowd,

. I don't know what it is, but it sure seems he don't like playing/is in a bad mood on Turkey Day,

I thought it was obvious... Look at Suh... Does he look like someone that wants to work during lunch on the biggest feast day of the year?

This year he gets some Aaron Rodgers.
