Goldson wins appeal, but is hit with $100K fine

hagan714 · 09-18-2013, 11:38 AM

i am not saying he is out of football but fines and suspension should be set up already.

hell we lost two draft picks and not one of the hits the nfl and the media used were near as bad.

i also understand the new rules make a db life a living hell back there.

Simplest way around all of this is let them play ball and except that is the risk they decided to take when they picked the profession.

play ball and stop wrecking the game. you go over the middle expect to be hit and blowing snot bubbles on the turf for a few minutes.

Why can't we win an appeal?

Smith and Vilma's punishments were vacated last year after an appeal. Of course that has nothing to do with Goodell. Tagliabue had to clean up that mess.

What y'all need to step back and realize is that the overturning of the suspension hits Tampa Bay harder. If Goldson's suspension would have been upheld the team would have retained the $562,500 salary that Goldson would have lost. That money stays in the team's pocket. This way the team gets hit harder. In addition to the $100,000 fine the league levied on Goldson it added an addition $50,000 fine on the team itself.

Because double standards. If its the Saints, suspend, take away draft picks, then fine them. Any other team, oh just shake your finger at them and tell them to just not do that anymore.

Matt Birk Not Goodell lifted the suspension on appeal. Matt Birk is an NFL appeals officer and ex player.
Dashon Goldson Wins Appeal: Matt Birk Overturns Suspension

Matt Birk Minnesota Vikings (1998-2008) Ravens (2009-2012) From Minnesota.

Same Matt Birk that insinuated the 49ers were behind the SB Black Out

^ This is what the NFL hires as an appeals officer? WTF? I am sure the Saints Vikings rivalry had nothing to do with his decision.

These fines are pathetic. There 1000's would be my 100 bucks (or less)

I hope he hits one the precious Pats late this week. Goodell can then answer why Goldson was allowed on the field.
Keep letting the repeat offenders go, Rog. Your credibility is already sky-high

Right fines are nothing to these guys, game suspensions would be more effective along with the fines.
