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.

kicking someone in the balls sure fine but playing football and making an innocent mistake is something other. Where are the fines for holding?

how is it not malicious? He swung his arm at Brees' neck/head. A good football play would've been to lower the shoulder and drive it into the QB's back, but he chose to go high instead. And it cost him.

You need to look at the clip. His arm didn't swing, he purposely put it out and grabbed Bree's. He also used his other arm as he came around to brace and protect brees so Bree WASN't Slammed down to the ground. That to me would have be malicious intent. Punching Brees in the balls that is malicious intent... not making a football play that went wrong.
