Brooks fined

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; What Guido said, ... the fine is in line with a second offense and what has been handed out to other players with similar hits/transgressions. That's really all you can ask in the NFL today, . Originally Posted by TheOak ...

Re: Brooks fined

I am all for the penalty on the play... but a fine, that is just ridiculous.

It had no malicious intent. If he did then the other hand wouldn't have came around to protect Brees some from being slammed to the ground. It was a move to tackle that was just a little high otherwise it would have been fair play.

Fines are getting ridiculous. Penalty was enough in this case.

Re: Brooks fined

It may well be a ridiculous fine. The problem is, Goodell has established a precedence of ridiculous fines and he can't deviate from that. To not fine Brooks would invalidate half the fines he's handed out this season. He's 'fined/legislated' himself and the NFL into a corner, I'm afraid.

And as a result he is now universally hated across all continents. Reading the comments from other forums confirms that. He may have to purchase an island somewhere with all of his millions being paid to him.

I think Ray Lewis considers everything short of stabbing someone in Atlanta as good clean fun.

Some on here maybe but for the most part folks on here are in agreement when one of our guys gets out of line. I would have been pissed not at the call but at Jordon.

I agree with this. I don't have a problem with the penalty but there was nothing malicious about the hit.

Au contraire mon frere

I was traumatized.... emotionally scarred brother. I have had to completely rethink my personality as the soft kitten like Oak was just to vulnerable. Way too much Mr. nice guy.

After a PM I received that pointed out some people actually believe there is a personality association between people and their avatars (If that were the case mine would always be a kitten or puppy, maybe an angel). Ive been doing some testing since, and it seems that responses I get to my postings are heavily influenced by my avatars. Eastwood brought me all sort of nasty replies, Sean Payton was pretty neutral, people just do not like Spock at all, huge boobed women brought me 100% agreement. I have decided that since my thoughts are going to be judged as if my avatar were saying them, that I am going to have to go with something a little more neutral and closer to home.
