This is where I'm at too. It was entirely different.

Still should have been a flag tho, according to the rules, and he'll be fined, as he should be, according to the rules.

Oh I know. It just ruffled my feathers when they said that and kept on harping about a flag not being thrown.

Hicks was unintentional. Brooks was determined.

Both are penalties and should have been flagged.

However the maliciousness of Brooks play justified the fine. Hicks won't get near that much, if any at all.

1st offense, so he will get $7750, something like that. He should pay it the first day, in cash, just to show Brooks how real men act

Is 'maliciousness' a word? I hope so because it sounds great!

Can it be fined if it wasn't even called?
If so, does the league need to examine all game tapes looking for potential fines that weren't called by the refs?

Interesting question. I believe the answer is yes though. They did that to Suh one time

However, the nicks hit wasn't anywhere as bad. Plus he made it a point to wrap his arms around ryan once he made contact instead of just following through with the clothesline. I'm borderline on whether it should be a penalty or not.
