Default Is the NFL a joke?

Brady fined 10k for hitting Reed

Gore fined 10.5k for socks being too low

Just saw this too.

NFL Fun Facts:

- Tom Brady fined $10,000 for a high "kick" at Ravens defender Ed Reed while Brady was sliding to avoid being hit by Reed.

- Frank Gore was fined $10,500 for wearing his socks too low during the game against the Falcons.

Gore's fine was $500 more than Brady's. Makes sense to me.
What is the definition of insanity?

The amount of the uniform fines are absurd. The NFL should realize that sometimes small differences create a trend and could make them more money. Take for example headbands and gloves.

Nike, the NFL, the teams, and the players all have a hand in that type of stuff.

that Brady kick looked intentional to me.

Where's the money go? I heard it used to go to charity, but now it goes to the NFL retired players pension or something like that. Could be wrong. Consider it a donation to a good cause. And it ain't like the players can't afford it.

Easy way for the NFL to get some money. Like speeding tickets for the government.

Two rookie QB's throw for 3000yds and get into the Pro Bowl?

Romo almost 5000 yds. Thats an average of 120 yds more PER game. More yards, attempt, completions, TD's.

That's like putting a RB with 1000yds in and ignoring a RB who has 1600 yds because his team didn't win enough. Yes, Joke.
