Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Even if it’s less costly than what the Seahawks have to endure, last week’s hit on wide receiver Percy Harvin will still cost the guy who hit him.

The league office tells PFT that Saints safety Rafael Bush was fined $21,000 for his shot to a defenseless Harvin.

The hit, which led to Harvin leaving the field the first time, was also flagged during the game.

But that’s little consolation to the Seahawks, who now have to play for the NFC title without their biggest offseason acquisition, who was ruled out because of his concussion.

It was good old fashioned football. Too bad you cant play it anymore.

Wearing a #25 Bush jersey is now better than ever.

The Seahawks obviously violated concussion protocol imho. It was clear Harvin should never have re-entered the game after that hit.

Worth it !

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Well over the top.
They have reacted and the fine is do big due to Harvin being out.The man has a history of breaking.The hit was a split second late, and the sort you see the 49ers, Seahawks and old Ravens team lay on every game.It sets a tone.

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Whatever. Seahawks hit like that all the time. At least our DB's wait until they have the ball/are about to get the ball before mauling them.

A clean football hit back in the day. It has come to this...

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Yep!! The Ronnie Lott days are over without a fine. Sad day if your a fan.

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Harvin's mouthpiece covered more of the field that day than he did.

I'm encouraged by Bush's aggressive play though

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Agreed, bad call and an even worse fine. He should win on appeal.

Yet another example of football as we know it and love it coming to an end.

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

appeal the sh** out of that
Bush was not at the point where he could hold up
If Harvin doesn't drop the pass, would it have been legal then?

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

I thought first offenses were 8-12k or something?

Raphael Bush. Football's version of hockey's "ENFORCER."

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

It's doubled bc of the second hit in the end zone Goddellmath 101

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

That was one of the best hits of the season, about time someone started to knock heads on D, the fine was BS

Re: Saints safety fined $21,000 for hit that knocked out Harvin
 

Ridiculous, that was a shoulder hit and Garvin would have caught the ball otherwise. Appeal the **** out of that.
